Looks like the Russians are once again inflating my numbers. Not at Pee Pee Tape-type levels, mind you. Also, I have no cursor. Must be part of that whole New Firefox vibe or something... slower service, no cursor. What's not to like? I move too fast as it is anyway... ooh! Just got my cursor back after posting the pic. I spoke too soon, Firefox... but I'm still going to rag on you about these multi-second pauses anytime I try to select a button. Anyway, on to the box office. I'm going to try and skip mentioning a certain current Commander in Chief, and move right on to the debuts this week, and...
...NO DEBUTS!!! PATHETIC!!!! And on Labor Day weekend, of all days! And Hollywood employs a lot of people, mind you. Lots of union people living out there, lots of showbiz families just trying to scrape together enough money for the bills, your Deschanels, your Leonettis, your Gyllenhaals, what have you. Oh sure, Magdalena and Jacob are doing just fine... and they better be, but what about Poppa? Languishing away in obscurity, directing eposides episodes of "Bosch"? "Bosch," for Gawd'z Zake! That's Thomas Schlamme's job now!
Oh, but I carry on. Seriously, though, if your film hasn't made 300 million dollars domestic already, looks like it ain't a'gonna. Check this out, though: Annabelle: Creation at #2 has made more in four weeks than The Hitman's Bodyguard at #1 has done in three. Not that it's going to slow down Deadpool much at all; he's busy right now doing not one, but two Deadpool movies. Well, technically, one of them's not a Deadpool movie... ooh! Just thought of something to say about our current Commander in Chief. Well, North Korea's acting up again, and apparently they blew up a hydrogen bomb over the weekend. Alas, our president had to interrupt his running golf game to say that this act of bomb testing was "very hostile and dangerous." And yet, during the campaign, didn't he say a few times that he wouldn't rule out using nuclear weapons? That they're just sitting there, not being used? And what a kind of tragedy that is? And that maybe other countries might need to develop a nuclear arsenal? Well, this is what that looks like, Mr. President! This is what freedom looks like, okay? It's messy and it's ugly, but it's freedom! Just think of it as a nuclear Second Amendment. Besides, once you get the nukes, then you get the power. And once you get the power, then you get... something else. I forget what. I gotta go.
