Box Office Roundup: Moviegoers embrace their inner homo mutant

Based on Sunday’s estimates:

1) X-Men: The Last Stand: $120 million (first week)
In four short days, the third “X-Men” movie has already made more money than the third “Mission: Impossible” movie. Have fun spinning that nugget, Paramount.
2) The Da Vinci Code: $43 million ($145.4 million, second week)
Only three or four more weeks until we never have to write or think about this movie again.
3) Over the Hedge: $35.3 million ($84.3 million, second week)
“Da Vinci” fell off 44% this week. “Hedge” fell off 8%. Word of mouth: it’s the new/old way to market movies.
4) Mission: Impossible III: $8.5 million ($115.8 million, fourth week)
Should there be a fourth installment, Tom Cruise has commissioned a script about a “mutant” spy with a terrible, terrible secret. Some have called it the part Cruise was born to play.
5) Poseidon: $7 million ($46.6 million, third week)
At last, we are no longer bound to come up with another “RV” joke, which would have made us even with the number of jokes contained in the movie itself.

Dear Mr. Vernon…

…we accept the fact that you had to sacrifice any semblance of academic credibility when you were played by Paul Gleason in “The Breakfast Club.” But we think you’re crazy if you think that people won’t be sad when they hear that Mr. Gleason died of lung cancer on Saturday at the age of 67. We’ll mourn him as we want to mourn him…in his most memorable roles, from his most popular movies.

As Clarence Beeks in “Trading Places.”

As Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson in “Die Hard.”

As Wayne Hisler in “Johnny Be Good.”

As Professor Ted McDoogle in “Van Wilder.”

But most importantly, Principal Vernon, as you…in a movie still loved by teens – and former teens – everywhere. When he reprised the role in “Not Another Teen Movie,” he was the best thing in that flick.

Does that answer your question?

Sincerely,

The Fans of “The Breakfast Club”

P.S. Rest in peace, Paul Gleason.

Why, those limey bastards…!

While I’m thrilled that we’re getting a special edition of “A Fish Called Wanda” here in the States at long last, there’s simply no justice in the fact that, on the 25th anniversary of a groundbreaking work of cinema, a special “Silver Anniversary Edition” DVD is coming out in the UK…but not in the US.

The cinematic masterpiece I speak of is the tale of no less than the savior of the universe…

It includes two audio commentary tracks – one from director Mike Hodges, one from actor Brian Blessed (Prince Vultan), interviews, the original trailer and concept artwork, a photo slide show, Dolby Digital 5.1 & DTS sound, and even the first episode of the original 1940 “Flash Gordon” serial.

Will this be what finally sends me to buy a region-free DVD player…?

“Celebrity Poker Showdown” returns next week…

…and Bravo is promoting the hell out of the fact that, while Dave Foley remains the primary moderator for the show, his co-host, Phil Gordon, has been replaced by fellow poker champion Phil Hellmuth.

Bullz-Eye was able to participate in a press conference with Foley and Hellmuth…one which was so underattended that we were able to get on the line twice to ask questions. (This is impressive when you consider that, on the last press conference we were in on, we couldn’t get in to ask even one.)
