None More Black

A good Black Friday to you and two Spinal Tap references in the last three posts means we're doing good things, but first I'd like to say you stay classy, Wal-Mart customers.

Check out this, 200 people in Long Island trampled some poor bastard who was trying to hold them back from those sweet, sweet bargains. But whats one life in exchange for getting your shitty kids the...something....they wanted? I don't know what the kids want anymore. I just want Left 4 Dead, because I'm so ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, and many other news agencies feel the same, its still a holiday. So I don't owe you anything good. But I made an effort to find something that I know no one reading this blog will see and tear it apart just so I can write something. I give you Bride Wars.

Notice that it will be released in the box office wasteland that is the month of January. So remember that we're heading into 2009, Almost Famous came out in 2000, and yet we still take Kate Hudson seriously. This should stop.

No one has sucked the life out of one success like she has. She hasn't done anything worthy of getting leading roles anymore but people keep seeing her movies. "I think we should go see Generic Romantic Comedy this weekend. You know its got Kate Hudson, shes adorable." goes much further than you'd imagine. Think of a band that made one great album in 2000 and garbage since. Would they still be getting the type of support from their label that Kate Hudson gets from major studios?

Maybe this raises the question of the way people value music vs. movies, which I couldn't be less interested in trying to break down right now. Just know that Ghost Rider grossed $115 million in the US alone. Maybe questioning the thought process of the American film going audience is going about it all wrong. Hmm...

As for Anne Hathaway, everyone just started to like you. You've had a string of tolerable or better movies that I didn't see and you've got sympathy from the Us Weekly crowd because your boyfriend went to jail for stealing $24 million or whatever it was. Why ruin all that goodwill with an unfunny Kate Hudson wedding movie?

At least this one doesn't have Matthew McConaughey in it.
