May I ask how? All the NYC peeps are depressed so they didnt go see the movie??? Why do i feel they are going to start putting blame on EVERYTHING for this election.

"My wife got pregnant because i was so shocked at the election results i forgot to pull out!"

LOL! That's what I was going to say. hmmmm Seems like The Incredibles had an OK weekend. Guess the election just put the public in the right frame of mind for a feel-good hero movie. ;o)

For the left, it's always somebody's else's fault. They are responsible for nothing.

JARRING SEGUE:

This shabby remake of Alfie has been called a soulless depressing mess by more than one reviewer. It was avoided because it sucks. Half of all reviewers called it crap.

Let's see. Paramount opens a little-advertised flimsy remake against a Pixar movie that has been promoted on television, in comic books, online, in magazines and every other medium to kids and adults for more than a year, and they want to blame the election for Alfie flopping?!

Any executive that believes that -- and was retarded enough to even form their mouths to utter those words -- needs to lose their job. Period.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I noticed something amazing when I was in college. If a student did well they would say, "I got an 'A'" If they did poorly they would say, "She gave me an 'F'" --They will take the credit but not the blame.

Hmmm. The old ALF I know of was a NBC sitcom about a Alien Life Form....

But then again, that also perfectly describes James Carville, who also flopped.

HA HA HA

That must be why The Incredibles made 70 mil this weekend. Because "nobody" went to the movies.

Hopefully the first of many more to come. I don't go to movies much anymore and when we rent them I screen them for the usual suspects.
