But where are the movies that exalt Me? Where are the movies that show Me blessing my son Jay-Jay as he rides through the desert on his T-Rex? Shame on you liberals.

Here is a sample scene.

High noon in the desert. Jesus rides in slow-motion across the sand on his T-Rex. His rugged features are covered in sweat and a sexy cut drips a single drop of blood gently from his sexy cheekbone. His chest hair peeks out the top of his robe.

ME (in a thundering but strangely seductive baritone voiced by Toby Keith):
I love you, son.

JAY-JAY: I love you too Dad. You're my hero.

ME: Git them muslins, my son. And git them abortionists too. Throw in some feminists as well.

JAY-JAY (raising his staff):
Balls out muthafuckaaa!!!

T-REX roars.

If I recall, there were humans in the first Ice Age movie. And in this one, there are dinosaurs. Unless there was some kind of time travel plotline in the newest movie that I was not aware of, can we check to see if Sarah Palin has a screenwriting credit?

I'm sure it will be credited as "Tyler Perry's" blah, blah, blah...I hate, hate hate! possessory credits. What, he makes his films without crew and actors, etc.? Don't think so...try parking your inadequacies somewhere else, sir.

@alboy2: Agreed. It just doesn't play--it becomes laughable if the film is a flop, and what exactly is the predetermining "greatness" that makes such a moniker appropriate? He's not William effing Shakespeare.

Here's a question for you folks, how many summer "blockbusters" have you watched?

1 for me :(
-Up

Was going for Inglorious Basterds, but Jesus Christ the ticket prices in Canada T__T

@(Zombie) Goldwings: I did UP and...uh...if there were others, I've already forgotten. They were erased by the fun I had at IN THE LOOP, AWAY WE GO, MOON, TAKING WOODSTOCK...it's a long list.

Also, wouldn't these "record breaking box office receipts" be helped by the fact that tickets are just so much more expensive now than they used to be ($7 for a matinee!!!)?

In business, it's all about image, and this is the little white lie they keep to themselves.

The Hurt Locker rocked my socks.

Because, seriously, the Hurt Locker is the best film I saw all year.

America hates gays? Can we please stop pretending like this is a treatise on homophobia in the United States?

Bruno is struggling because most people don't regularly visit meatspin.com, much less pay ten dollars to do so.

@Ted Gillespie: Didn't you know? People having negative reactions to obnoxious, inappropriate behavior clearly indicates a deep-rooted cultural intolerance.

Between Borat and Bruno, I think it's very much to our country's credit that SBC has not, so far as I know, been punched in the face.

Why is Ice Age doing so well? Because my nephew sees absolutely EVERY family friendly toon feature that comes out, like most American kids. And some adult (or 2 or 3) has to take him and pay full price.

I think it's because many of the people who went to see it on Friday were so disgusted (by both the blatant stereotyping and the amount of, er, exposure of private parts) that they told their friends not to see it. I had three people - including a friend who's gay - tell me that even my sick mind would find it revolting. That, I believe, is much of the reason the hype fizzled out after opening day.

"So a strong opening day, then a slight fizzle. It'll probably fall even more drastically next weekend."

Like most gay relationships, from what I'm told.

Thank you. At least I know I'm not the only one who thinks that glorified lackluster Sci-Fi (or Sy-Fy, whatever, dweebs) channel movie that NBC wants to call a hit Teevee show, Heroes, is a steaming pile of shitastic shunk-dung. I'd like it to go to the wasteland of money and useless talent that houses the now cancelled-by-right-of-God show Surface.

NBC is just ridiculous.

Maybe I'm a rube (it's been suggested) but I really enjoyed "Public Enemies." Michael Mann's movies are always uneven. This one was pretty good, though, mostly because he had really good actors doing really good work. And It was nice to see Johnny Depp acting normal for once in his life.
