10. 16 Blocks $2.215 million ($34,059,000)

NOTES:

I haven't seen anything on the list so far.

I want to see Inside Man, V For Vendetta, and 16 Blocks in the theater but I'll probably end up seeing them on DVD. Of course I'll buy Inside Man since it features Jodie Foster.

I'll see Eight Below on DVD, and I may see She's The Man when it hits DVD, but more likely I'll see that one when it hits pay per view on my own TV.

I saw V For Vendetta and Inside Man. I have no interest in seeing the others.

Looks like I'll be having X-3 and M.I-3 on my movie waiting list since thare hasn't been anything worthwhile for me to go see currently.

I'll wait for V For Vendetta when it comes out on DVD.

Saw V for Vendetta. It was a pretty good movie. Just fun to watch and the such. Not the greatest movie ever, but a satisfying movie.

Haven't seen any of the films, and am only mildly interested in seeing "V for Vendetta."

Whoever thought it would be a good idea to give Larry the Tard a full-length feature film should be shipped to Siberia.

The comedian who plays Larry, the cable guy, will more than likely go for a television sitcom route a la Roseanne Barr did in the late 80's.

The guy from "V" from Vendetta looks like the Carver from Nip/Tuck.

He already has/had one with the other Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys called Blue Collar TV.

That's just a comedy tour televised on Comedy Central. I mean a producer will try to mold a show around his redneck hyperbolic persona with a television sitcom.

It's not just a comedy tour on Comedy Central. It was a sketch comedy show originally aired on The WB. It didn't last very long but it was a regular series.

I'm sure someone will give him a sitcom though. More's the pity.

To make matters worse, that pile of crap was what replaced a new season of Angel

Larry has his fans and hell..." Git R Done " has helped him get rich from what he said in an interview. I like some of his stuff. Its just a southern redneck type humor and it would work in a sitcom tailored to him.

Blue Collar TV had a good 1st season , took off really well but once moved to Sunday's it was the DEATH NAIL in that series. If a show is catching on in its time slot....keep it there people. ;)

Is that where that stupid catch phrase my co-worker likes to use and annoy me with? Another reason to toss him in a padded cell and melt the key down.

One could say the reason that Angel got cancelled was because IT was a pile of crap.

I will admit that Blue Collar TV was a whole bunch of suck, but then again, so was Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel. One only appeals to rednecks and white trash, the other only appeals to geeks and nerds.

Actually, season five ratings for Angel had improved from the previous season, with critics AND fans enjoying the new direction with Angel and the team running Wolfram & Hart. Not to mention just a handful of great stand-alone episodes.

Anyone know the budget for the Cable Guy movie?

Considering the names in the cast and the difficulty of setting up what are probably simple TV sketches all smooshed together, I'm betting it ain't much.

I'll bet that even with the rock-bottom $7M it's got under its belt, it'll turn a tidy profit. Even tidier once it hits video.

It helps Larry get more movies or a TV series. I think he's ok. I'm no huge fan of him. On Blue Collar TV I was more of a fan of Bill Engvall than anyone.
