Apr 27 2009 Weekend Box Office Goes Generic
Besides fighting for your ticket money, this weekend's top films were also apparently competing for the most generic title. Here's how both contests shaped up:
1. Obsessed - $28.5 million. Third most generic.
2. 17 Again - $11.7 million. Not that generic.
3. Fighting - $11.4 million. Second most generic.
4. The Soloist - $9.7 million. Fourth most generic.
5. Earth - $8.6 million. Most generic.

Nov 21 2008 'Earth' Trailer: Nature is Crazy
I just recently saw the BBC's Planet Earth on a friend's 50-some inch 1080 HD hologram TV. If you haven't seen this, let me tell you, I can confidently say nature is more amazing and crazy than even YouTube suggests. Find a friend who can afford a nice television made of plasma and watch it.
I bring this up because Disney and Planet Earth director Alastair Fothergill have taken what looks like mostly the same footage and edited it into a theatrical release. Normally that would be obnoxious, but if this is released IMAX, that means seeing nature craziness at a massive scale. It will feel like I've actually gone outdoors!
Here's the trailer:
