Aug 19 2008'Tropic Thunder' Proves Itself the More Popular Movie Featuring a Guy in Heavy Makeup
Weekend box office results!
1. Tropic Thunder - $25.8 million, finally answering the question of if [the actor who played] Iron Man could beat [the movie] Batman in a fight [between their movies, one of which came out a month prior].
2. The Dark Knight - Oh, how the mighty have fallen... one spot... after five weeks... and after earning over $470 million. ($16.4 million)
3. Star Wars: The Clone Wars - $14.6 million, because it's terrible.
4. Mirrors - $11.1 million, a number that, when held to a mirror, remains the same. Spooky, huh? Except how the decimal point is in the wrong spot, and the dollar sign is reversed and at the end, and I rounded down the last 1 even though it was technically $11.16 million, so that's also not entirely accurate. Still, spooky.
5. Pineapple Express - Dropping three spots with only $9.8 million after many people planning to see it decided instead to finish this South Park then laugh at that channel where they sell all those knives.

The Clone Wars is open? Who'd've known?
See me, I like to know whose ass it is and why it's farting.

Saw Clone Wars. That's the best thing I can say about it.

I saw Tropic Thunder and Clone Wars. Unfortunately, I paid for Clone Wars and not Tropic Thunder.
In all seriousness, though, I liked Clone Wars. It was really mediocre, sure. Then, to top off the mediocrity, it had a shitty art-direction, a lot of voice actors who failed to capture their characters, a few new characters who were absolutely terrible and crappy textures. However, I have to be honest. I wouldn't have liked it nearly as much without the Truman Capote slug. Me and my friends were rolling every time he showed up on screen.
