Yeah, more Rosie news. Apparently O’Donnell wasn’t happy with The Donald’s near firing of Miss USA recently. She threw some insults at him, and he’s thrown some peachy ones back. Rosie then went on Trump’s Wikipedia entry and added some poorly spelt crap, continuing to act like a two-year-old. Wait, no. Two-year-olds act much better than Rosie, period.

Hey, a lot of people have been waiting for it and now a trailer for the Transformers movie due in ’07 is up. Frankly, I was never into any transforming mech toys when the things were huge the first time around. Why can’t the Go-Bots get their due? It’s like picking a Rough Riders 4X4 and not giving the Stomper 4X4 a try and seeing if it could be just as enjoyable (all right, I’m getting into obscuro toy talk here). That said, I always fancied myself more of a That’s Incredible! dude, although Real People did have Skip Stephenson (R.I.P.). All right, I have no idea where I’m going with this anymore.
Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:
1) The Pursuit of Happyness: $27 million (Bill Clark: A Don’t Call Me Shirley Joint)
Bill, finally gets to play one of his first two picks, and it’s a doozy, easily putting away the much higher ranked “Charlotte’s Web,” much to my surprise. (Pssst: “Charlotte” is the far better movie. Pass it on.)
2) Eragon: $23.4 million (Jason Zingale, Seven Strangers Productions)
Another huge surprise. The “movie event of the year” is the textbook definition of fun-bad. But that didn’t seem to bother the elves, dwarves and hobbits one bit.
3) Charlotte’s Web: $12 million (Deb Medsker, Punch and Pie Pictures)
Stunning. How did this not wipe the floor with everyone else at the multiplexes? Perhaps this is the audience rebelling to the news that Dakota Fanning is considering a role where her character is raped. Surely, for someone so pure to commit an act so vile, even for a movie, is the first sign of the Apocalypse.
4) Happy Feet: $8.5 million, $149.4 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Perhaps my joke about Reel Times’ stay in second place was a tad premature. He now has a $25 million lead over Punch and Pie.
5) The Holiday: $8.2 million, $25.3 million to date (owner: Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times Studios)
After two months of boy junk, the women, it appears, are fighting back.
6) Apocalypto: $7.7 million, $27.9 million to date (David Medsker, Scary Clown Studios)
Don’t feel sorry for Mel Gibson. The movie will ultimately make money and as long as his movies do that, Mel will never, ever hurt for work.
7) Blood Diamond: $6.2 million, $18.3 million to date (Kristin Dreyer-Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to see a movie starring two of the most beautiful people on the planet, either.
8) Casino Royale: $5.7 million, $137.5 million to date (Steve Wamsley, TSSU Productions)
TSSU still holds a commanding lead, but with one movie left (“The Good Shepherd”), expect it to dwindle.
9) The Nativity Story: $4.7 million, $23 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Insert your own joke here. Because I don’t have one.
10) Unaccompanied Minors: $3.6 million, $10.2 million to date (Kristin Dreyer-Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
The Chicago Sun-Times gave this zero stars. Clearly, that writer was not subjected to the junk (ahem, “Home of the Brave”) that we had been subjected to prior to seeing this movie.
Current standings:
1) TSSU Productions: $250.1 million
2) Reel Times Pictures $197.7 million
3) Punch and Pie Pictures: $172.6 million
4) Scary Clown Studios: $132.2 million
5) Seven Strangers Productions: $121.1 million
6) Nights and Weekends: $97.3 million
7) A Don’t Call Me Shirley Joint: $35.1 million
8) What’s All This, Then?: $5 million
Coming this week: What’s All This, Then? tries to get out of the cellar with “Rocky Balboa” (Wednesday) and “Night at the Museum” (Friday), though he’s not encouraged by the fact that neither movie is particularly good. Scary Clown releases “Letters from Iwo Jima,” though would like to see the studio ramp up the promotional efforts a little bit. Shirley releases the much-anticipated “Dreamgirls,” while NightsandWeekends hangs on for dear life with the sports drama “We Are Marshall.” On Christmas, it’s Dueling Medskers: Scary Clown releases “Children of Men” and Punch and Pie releases “Black Christmas” (which Scary Clown dropped in exchange for “Turistas.” Whoops.)
What goes around comes around, right? So it would seem. You may recall that Rosie O’Donnell recently got into a scrap with Kelly Ripa over the latter’s reaction when Clay Aiken put his hand over her mouth on TV. Well now O’Donnell is taking flak for mocking spoken Chinese on “The View.” It went a little something like this:
In a Dec. 5 segment, O’Donnell joked about how Danny DeVito’s recent — and seemingly drunken — appearance on the ABC daytime talk show had become international news.
“You know, you can imagine in China it’s like `ching chong, ching chong chong, Danny DeVito, ching chong chong chong, drunk, “The View,” ching chong,'” the 44-year-old comedian said.
Apparently this did not go over well. When informed of this, O’Donnell replied,
“To say ching chong to someone is very offensive, and some Asian people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. Which I was like, `Really? I didn’t know that.'”
Ah, Rosie, what will you do next? Nothing could be as patently offensive to the brain cells as your performance in Riding on the Bus with My Sister. Let’s all remember that now, shall we?
Santa has delivered an early Christmas present to Browncoats the world over: a shiny new “Firefly” experience in the form of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG:
Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it’s struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online.
The “Browncoats,” as Firefly’s most devoted fans are known, have been campaigning to bring the show back almost since the moment it was canceled in late 2002. Now they’ll get their wish, albeit in a new form.
“We see virtual worlds as an extraordinarily promising new entertainment medium,” said Adam Kline, Fox Licensing’s vice president of media enterprises in an e-mail. “We believe Multiverse can deliver an experience that will remain true to the original series, while enabling a whole new level of personal involvement for fans.”
The game is still very much in the development stages…which should give you plenty of time to decide whether you want to play as a Reaver; a preferred client of Inara and her fellow Companions; or both.
