Boy! I was starting to worry about the IMDb there for a minute! But it looks like I can rely on their Top 10 once again and not have to switch over to the street walkers over at Variety. Oh, I gotta keep things short and terse this month... so far. Well, I and a lot of people can hardly believe it. Even David Ellis can't believe it! Yes, in a squeaker, Final Destination beats out Quentny's Intolereable Basturds for the second week in a row, in a final tally as contentious as The Specialist vs. Pulp Fiction. Oh, and there are three debuts this week. All About Steve debuts at #3, but don't worry. Sandra's having a fine year, and so is 'Sack' Lodge. Why, I almost feel sorry for the guy, having to hold that same expression on his face all the time. Looks like All About Steve is Management in reverse, with Sandra Bullock playing the Steve Zahn role. I'll probably never get to see it, though, because look! We're already on to the next debut which is...Gamer, close behind at #4. Oh, great. Another movie about video games. It would've been a bigger debut if it was based on a more specific game. And finally, Mike Judge's latest effort, Extract, debuts at #9, making it a prime candidate for my year-end wrap-up of the one-week wonders. Well, Beavis, that's how these cult films get started, you know. They often can't be cult films right out of the gate! It takes time! And money! And suffering! And more time! Maybe Absolut can foot some of the bill for the cult-ification of this one, heh heh. I mean, huh huh. I gotta go.
