Aug 25 2008'Tropic Thunder' is Still a Popular Film
Because you love it, the weekend box office results:
1. Tropic Thunder - Is there a Hi-C flavor based on this yet? Because Tropic Thunder Punch is at least as sound an idea as the Ghostbusters-based Ecto Cooler. ($16.1 million)
2. The House Bunny - Audiences made it clear which side they support in the battle between wretched comedy and cars with spikes and flames and shit. On the wretched comedy side. ($15.1 million)
3. Death Race - But there was a large, paying minority that said, "No, but seriously, cars with spikes and flames and shit." ($12.3 million)
4. The Dark Knight - Someone had to bring Batman down eventually, but Death Race and House Bunny? That's like letting a lame villain introduced in 1993 be the one to break Batman's back. ($10.3 million)
5. Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Force is strong with this one. Because people have to be forced to see it! A'BOOSH! (Still, enough people saw it for it to make $5.7 million.)

Nice Bane reference...but Bane is kickass.

I have to agree with the Count, Bane was awesome. A villain smart enough to let everyone else do the work and than get the credit for it.

Bane needs to be in the next Batman...we would kick so much ass.
Not sure if they could go the route of the debut comic were he breaks Batmans back but they couldn't probably work something out.
And he goes with Nolans over all dark and realistic theme.

Could probably*

Ecto Cooler was so fucking good...

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the hard cold fact is that Bane sucked ass. Not only did Bane suck ass, but he symbolized everything that was wrong with the 1990s. "He's just like other Batman villains, but HUGE and XTREME!!" (See also Carnage.)
Please never use the words Bane and Nolan in the same sentence again.

Bane, Carnage and Doomsday blew. I still hate myself for liking Stryfe.

You should. The only good that has ever came from Rob Liefeld was Deadpool, and that character only ever got any good in the hands of other people.

How dare you insult "ForeArm" like that?
15. Caligula - August 26, 2008 4:09 PM
Actually on second thought, how dare you compliment "Deadpool" like that?
