Jasper Reardon · 09/14/08 11:34AMI was just thinking to myself the other day that seeing a movie is way too cheap. That it is such a shame that The Dark Knight only grossed $22 billion. I thought to myself, "What can I do to help the ailing cinema industry in its hour of need, while also impressing a special lady?" A theater planned for Orange County, California (where else on God's green earth, I ask you) will charge $35 dollars a head to see a first-run movie. "What do you get for the money? Reclining chairs decked out in suede, a personal attendant, and the chance to see the same movie that's playing at the local cineplex for a 350% markup" The menu includes gourmet black truffle arancini, chickpea croquettes with light tahini sauce, and mini corn crab cakes with chili lime mayo. Additionally, you and your date-no doubt soon to be bedmate-can enjoy a lovely pinot while watching Space Chimps. [O.C. Weekly]
Finally, We Can Laugh At 9/11
Pareene · 04/18/08 01:44PMOh boy! Here come the 9/11 Comedies, according to Politico! Hollywood is finally catching up with the internet. And al-Qaeda. Though their "Sept. 11 comedies" are Harold and Kumar Go to Guantanamo Bay, which is not really about 9/11, and some John Cusack Halliburton satire, which is about Iraq, and Zombie Strippers, which is self-explanatory. Oh, there is one genuine 9/11 comedy coming, though. It is directed by Uwe Boll, it will basically be a travesty. The Soup Nazi plays Osama bin Laden. But every Uwe Boll film is a travesty, be it about 9/11 or vampires in the old west. Also it's been out for a year, except no one will release it. The year-old SHOCKING OPENING SCENE is after the jump, because if we can't laugh at ourselves, what have we got left?
