Don’t you want this new Mary Jane statue?
I sure do. I just don’t know if my wife will let me have it.
Scroll down the page to get, ahem, a better angle.
Y’know, given the cleavage, even those who’ve never cracked the cover of an issue of “The Amazing Spider-Man” will know instantly that the model for this was not Kirsten Dunst…but the face sure does resemble Cameron Diaz.
Diehard fans of George Lucas’ space epic could run through the list of mythological and historical parallels with little effort, but The History Channel’s special, “Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed,” is still an enjoyable retrospective on the films’ remarkable similarities to classic stories and traditions.
Compiling interviews with entertainment uber-geeks like J.J. Abrams, Peter Jackson, Kevin Smith and Joss Whedon, as well as other notable participants like Tom Brokaw, Newt Gingrich, Stephen Colbert and Elvis Mitchell, “The Legacy Revealed” demonstrates just why “Star Wars” is more than a silly space adventure.
The two-hour special airs on The History Channel on Monday, May 28th at 9 PM (EST). And look for the DVD to hit stores this Fall!
Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:
1) Spider-Man 3: $60 million, $242 million to date
Let the doomsday talk begin. Much will be made of the fact that “Spider-Man 3” dropped 60% at the box office, but remember two things: any movie that opens with a $150 million weekend is going to suffer a big drop-off, and it still made $60 million in its second week. The DreamWorks execs would slaughter their children to have “Shrek the Third” pull a stunt like that.
2) 28 Weeks Later: $10 million
Fast zombies plus a whole bunch of shit getting blow’d up? What’s not to love? Lots, to be honest, but we still expected it to do better than this.
3) Georgia Rule: $5.8 million
LiLo + Hanoi Jane = nobody cares.
4) Disturbia: $4.8 million, $66.2 million to date
From this to “Transformers,” Shia LaBeouf is now the Biggest Star on the Planet.
5) Delta Farce: $3.5 million
Last week, we received the following email from a fan of Larry the Cable Guy who apparently thought we stayed in regular contact with Larry after our email interview two years ago.
Dear Larry,
I am 13 years old and I have a new joke for you to say when you get done telling a joke about how frustrated you were. You say “I was more frustrated than Stevie Wonder playing whack-a-mole”
sincerely, (name withheld)
PS: Git-r-dun
This is your legacy, Larry. We hope you’re proud of yourself.
12) The Ex: $1.3 million
Don’t burn your TV bridges, Zach.

We’re going off the grid for the summer box office fantasy season and doing it old school, with spreadsheets and all that funky math jazz! We’re not exactly excited about doing it that way, of course. But since Fantasy Moguls adopted that whole salary cap mentality, we just can’t get behind that. So we did a draft on our own. Where the movies are owned by only one person. No free love in this here joint, suckaz.
1) Spider-Man 3: $148 million
Wow. I mean, dude, like, wow. Do they even realize what kind of precedent they’re setting for the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie? They’re basically saying that the next “POTC” movie could be Krusty the Klown running down a beach with a sword while being chased by a cast of thousands, and it will surely break the box office record. Wow. I mean, like, wow, dude.
6) Lucky You: 2.5 million
We’re only mentioning this so Kevin Carr doesn’t feel quite so bad about picking a movie that opens the same weekend as “Spider-Man 3.” Don’t worry, Kevin, the negative word-of-mouth on “S-M 3” will surely bring “Lucky You” into the top five….or not.
Ah, just what we needed – another edition of a movie that is already well represented in the DVD market. Wasn’t 2003’s Ultimate Edition of “Dirty Dancing,” well, ultimate enough?
Apparently not, because the new two-disc release celebrating the film’s 20th anniversary has two-stepped its way into stores with plenty of never-before-seen special features and updates not available three years ago.
A remastered audio track (6.1 DTS-ES) and a new interview with Patrick Swazye are among the biggest changes from the last release, while the arrival of deleted, extended and alternate scenes seem like a necessary addition. There’s also a tribute to the late Jerry Orbach, multi-angle comparisons for two of the film’s biggest dance sequences, a quick spot on the “Dirty Dancing” stage show, and all of the extras previously released – including Jennifer Grey screen tests, writer/producer audio commentary, cast/crew interviews and, of course, the film itself. It’s too bad the movie hasn’t been given the old digitally remastered treatment, because after twenty years, it definitely needs it.
