Johnny the Ugly

Yes, it’s another incriminating photo of John Travolta.

You can be fairly certain the former Vinnie Barbarino won’t be getting any open-mouthed man-kisses in this getup, modeled on the set of his “Hairspray” remake.

Yeesh. John, you are not a pretty (nor a remotely convincing) woman. Even Harvey Fierstein had a certain perverse charm in the role, but this…this is just embarrassing.

Box Office Roundup: Are you ready for some football?

Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:

1) Invincible: $15.2 million ($37.8 million, second week)
There is something to be said for a movie’s timing. Unlike, say, “Crossover,” which couldn’t have been released any father out of basketball season.
2) Crank: $13 million (first week)
When told that his movie finished behind a guy who used to do underwear commercials, “Crank” star Jason Statham had this to say.
3) The Wicker Man: $11.7 million (first week)
After seeing “The Wicker Man” over the weekend, Bullz-Eye editor and part-time movie critic Shelley “The Machine” Levine had this to say.
4) Little Miss Sunshine: $9.7 million ($35.8 million, sixth week)
Haven’t seen it yet. I got nothing.
5) The Illusionist: $8 million ($12.1 million, third week)
Did anyone else want to yank Rufus Sewell’s mustache off of his face, or was it just me?

∞) Snakes on a Plane: $0 million. It’s still playing in theaters, but it didn’t even show up on Box Office Mojo’s top 50 movies of the week. Note to the lowest New Line staffer on the totem pole: don’t go to that “surprise” birthday party, if you want to see the sun rise again.

DVD shuffle: 09/05/06

Out on DVD this week:

1) United 93 – RENT: After seeing Stone’s godawful rendition of 9/11, any other version’s gotta at least be worth a rental.

2) Kinky Boots – PASS: Niether kinky, nor funny. This is the tale of a horribly mismarketed British import.

3) Jackass: The Movie – Unrated: BUY – If you don’t yet own a copy, this is the one to buy. If you already do, however, then there simply isn’t enough new material to persuade you otherwise.

4) District B13 – RENT: If you’re a little upset that you haven’t seen a really cool Jackie Chan/Jet Li flick in a long time, this French actioneer from producer Luc Besson will absoultely blow your mind.

Also out this week are reissues of “Brazil,” “Blade Runner” and “Ace Venture,” as well as new TV season releases of “Lost,” “Oz,” “Supernatural” and “Hustle.”

If you hear the sound of water pouring…

…it’s probably just Trekkies pissing themselves with excitement at the announcement that Paramount has been in contact with both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy about the possibility of them being involved in J.J. Abrams’ new “Star Trek” film.

“The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project and they are aware of Bill [Shatner]’s and my contribution to the franchise,” Nimoy explained, “and they’d like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general.

“They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback,” added Nimoy. “But that’s just conjecture on my part.”

By the way, it’s interesting to note that Nimoy had it written into his contract that he must approve of any other individual cast to play the role of Spock. Talk about thinking ahead…
