Of course, one could observe that about EVERY week, when you get right down to it, but it seems especially troubling this week, especially when the only debut debuts at #9. The Warrior's Way. Trying to cash in on that Kung Fu Hustle magic, or something. The sequel's a few years off yet. But Disney should be happy about this week. Tangled wormed its way to the #1 spot, where it should've been all along. Damn you, Harold Potter! Look at that poster. So desperately trying to cash in on the Twilight magic. Nice try, Nerdlingtons! At #3, Burlesque... oh, please. Well, it means a lot to Cher, anyway. Or did they get a cheap Vegas Cher impersonator? To make matters worse, the IMDb's making it tough to get it to work like the database it's SUPPOSED to be. What, am I supposed to REMEMBER all the films Denzel and Tony Scott have made together? Man on Fire, that submarine movie... I totally blanked on Deja Vu! Isn't it ironic, dontcha think. As for the bottom half of the top 10, too depressing to contemplate. It's only a matter of time before Will Ferrell, Zach G. and Robert Downey Jr. all do a movie together. There's gotta be some way to combine The Hangover 2 and Old School 2. There's just gotta!
