Jul 7 2008Will Smith Shows He's Still Got It ('It' Being the Ability to Draw Crowds with Mediocrity)
It's weekend box office result time!
1. Hancock - In his version of a fireworks display, Will Smith dropped by once again this July 4th to deliver some primal entertainment to the waiting masses that ultimately left them saying, "Is that it?" ($66 million weekend, $107 million since Wednesday.)
2. WALL-E - $33.4 million as audiences flocked to see the riveting trailer to Fly Me to the Moon.
3. Wanted - $20.6 million for the Jolie-Pitt baby fund!!! (James McAvoy and Common probably also get a cut.)
4. Get Smart - A $11.1 million gross, finally earning back all the money spent on covertly adding mandarin orange artificial flavoring to Sierra Mist.
5. Kung Fu Panda - $7.5 million for the Jolie-Pitt baby fund!!! (Jack Black and computers probably also get a cut.)

When I saw Wall-E the Fly me to the Moon trailer wasn't shown, thank god. I already had to endure the Chihuahahahah trailer.

What the hell is everyones problem with Hancock? What exactly were people expecting? I found it entertaining from beginning to end. Excellent direction by Peter Berg and a story that took enough turns to keep me glued to the screen the whole time.

Colin: While what you're saying may have relative merit, your name sounds like the name for the lower intestine, so your thoughts do not count. For anything. Ever.

blu: while i found your comment mildly humorous, your name sounds like what you did to your boyfriend last night, so your thoughts do not count either. so, you fail. at trying to insult people. and at life.

The scene where he's flying (or flailing) with a bourbon bottle and going through freeway signs with Ludacris in the background was hilarious. It represented the decline of civilization.

I'm willing to bet that Blu had to Google where a Colon was located before he posted his retarded comment. Enjoy your life as a douche Blue.
