    Harry Potter still hasn't opened in most IMAX theaters, hence the drag this weekend and the almost-but-not-quite-record-breaking... opening. Once Transformers takes a hike and HP hits the IMAX screens this week, the numbers will probs show an upswing in week 3 over week 2.

    Is this really the last week of Richard's recaps? Because I'm not sure what I'm going to do without them. They're the only sanity I can think of in the "is Iron Man in it?" world in which we live.

    Smithhimself enjoys his guinea pigs grilled or deep fried.

    If G-Force has a second strong weekend, he's organizing a "cuye" party at his local Peruvian restaurant.

    @Slap Bet:
    "Gross?" Actually, they're delicious with some rice and black beans on the side.

    Traveling through the Andes, you see the locals cutting roadside grass to feed their guinea pigs. Because you feed them grass, cuy is a cheap source of protein up in the mountains.

    But I will admit that I wish they'd remove their cute little heads before they put them on the plate.

    I'm eagerly anticipating next summer when a movie staring a guinea pig hooker kills people with magic. All in Disney Digital 3-D of course.

    @TubOfTaft: Your mistake has set us up for brilliant box-office success: We'll make a series of movies for the kiddies starring the murderous magical meretricious guinea pig. Then, 15 years later, we'll use the old nostalgia gimmick to create a series of ironic and meta horror films in which the people from the original series are killed by the movies themselves. It'll be a big hit with twenty-somethings.

    I'll give you 6 points on the back end if you can serve as the misplaced modifier consultant.

    Remember, kids, real guinea pigs don't fly, and they're social animals who like to live with at least a few of their own kind.

    Considering the trailer practically told you that Orphan was about a psycho dwarf, I don't think it's a spoiler. The trailer went out of its way to let you know this was some crazy twist that you would never guess, which actually made it quite easy to guess. If the girl isn't an apparition, and if she isn't a psycho kid, then she is obviously a psycho dwarf. I guess the hooker part is a fun addition, but some sort of mental/physical abuse was obviously implied. The only spoiler of this movie is its implication regarding Sarsgaard's career.

    Though I will most definitely not see The Awful Truth, I feel the need to defend Gerard Butler. There is nothing poor about a Scottish accent, and there's no way a talking leg of mutton could have carried 300.

    This, my friends is G-Force. I have no idea what the whole hamster thing is. The only part that makes sense here is the whole poop thing, because in my experience that's what over sized rodents do, they poop. All the time. Everywhere. And if you don't clean their cages frequently, they smell like a 7th grade gym locker encasing trapped fart air. But yah, nice unsanitary pets for kids, I guess.

    (Possible spoilers, if you care)

    Orphan didn't suck quite as much as I thought it would. I will say that unfortunately Peter Sarsgaard was a shambling shame the whole movie. I usually love his twistedness, so I totally thought he was evil until his hairy, pasty, lackadaisical family-man bloat indicated surely that he would be felled somehow by the succubus in the lamest way possible. Done!

    Maybe because I live with a pet I don't understand the appeal of CGI animal films. For example, the charm of a sass talking gerbil is somewhat reduced by my actual 16 year-old cat, who sometimes craps on the floor and whose breath smells like low tide at the end of the world.
