‘10,000 B.C.’ Wins Weekend Box Office

The new ice age epic, “10,000 B.C.,” is number one at the box office, even though it’s number two.

According to the AFP, director Roland Emmerich’s latest “mammoth” film, referring to its excruciating running time since none of his other films have featured a mammoth although its the only way it would have made “The Patriot” less historically accurate, scored $35.9 million in laundry money.

The film, of course, got speared by the critics. Jan Stewart of Newsday called it “An epic adventure of such towering testosterone counts and ceaseless tedium, you can almost feel the hair growing on your chest as the bags collect beneath your eyes.” Actually, watching chest hair grow would sound more interesting than this film.

‘Semi-Pro’ Barely a Semi-Hit

Will Farrell’s comedy about an athlete of lesser intelligence (I’m referring to the one that came out last Friday) threw a brick from downtown.

According to E! Online, the movie finished first at the weekend box office, but didn’t do so hot.

The movie only picked up a measly $15 million on opening weekend, which in Hollywood is the amount of money executives spend on their morning coffee and soy based colon cleansing bran muffin.

ShockTilYouDrop has learned that a remake of the classic Roman Polanski film is in the works.
