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.

Aug 11 2008 First Three Minutes of 'Mirrors' Clip Online--But is It Haunted, Like How Mirrors Are Haunted???
Alright, dudes, are you ready to get mirrored his weekend? By which I mean going to a theater and seeing the movie Mirrors? If you're not sure, here's a chance to dip your delicate toes into the mirrorness (mirrorocity?) with the first three minutes of the film. The clip reminds me of the locker room round of the Nickelodeon game show Think Fast, except that instead of the lockers opening to reveal matching pairs of costumed actors, the lockers are full of mirrors. And instead of ending with the awarding of a BMX bike and a Sony Walkman, it ends with a guy's reflection slitting its throat, which somehow causes the actual guy's throat to slit. Otherwise it's the same.
Aug 6 2008 New 'Mirrors' Posters, Reminding You to Fear Mirrors
Everyone knows that when Mirrors opens next week, it will quickly become the new gold standard for horror movies in which the antagonist is a mirror, but imagine for a moment you lived a grim existence where you were somehow unaware of the dangers mirrors posed, and that a movie on the subject were coming out. What might you think Mirrors were about based solely on these three new posters? I have some guesses:

Jul 3 2008 'Mirrors' Red-Band Trailer (Did I Mention These Mirrors Are DEADLY???)
As you'll recall if you were unfortunate enough to have watched the first trailer to Mirrors, mirrors are horrific, dangerous devices that should not be trifled with. Once thought to be innocent reflecting surfaces, they have since been revealed to possess the ability to blur and distort faces with powers that rival Photoshop--and in this movie, they're after Jack Bauer!
Now there's a new red-band trailer that reveals more of the mysterious, terrifying nature of mirrors. They can make you physically tear your face in half with your hands! And if you think you can flee to the safety of all that standing water that's on your dining room floor for no apparent reason, you're wrong: it turns out that counts as a mirror! Doorknobs too!

Jun 19 2008 'Mirrors' Poster! That's Right, This Movie Has MIRRORS In It!
You know, there was probably a reason The Ring wasn't called VHS Casette Tape. Because VHS tapes, like mirrors, are not inherently frightening, and hence doesn't make a great title for a horror movie. No one hears the word "mirror" and thinks terror. What I'm saying is that I think the title should be Scary-Ass Looking Glass, and that I should be paid for inventing it.

Jun 12 2008 'Mirrors' Trailer: The Ghost-Mirror-Themed '24' You Always Wanted
Mirrors! Innocent reflecting surfaces typically found near toilets or vile mechanisms just waiting to make you do things you don't want to do--like finally taking out the trash, or murder??? Hilariously, this trailer makes an argument for the latter. Seriously, mirrors?
