"There were some things man was not meant to see..."



To be honest, I DID actually see and like X-MEN: FIRST CLASS but I'm usually writing this comic strip about seven days in advance.

Still wouldn't suggest a film of my origins though...

Picturing me tanning naked = Appetite suppressant



Why is it that when you go to a nudist beach you see people you'd never wanna see naked?

$23mil Friday/ $58mil Est. Wkend: X MEN: FIRST CLASS looks weak.




For any other movie $60 million would look impressive but look at the following opening weekends:


X-Men                                  (2000)    $54mil (adjusted for inflation: $79mil)
X-Men 2                               (2003)    $86mil
X-Men 3                               (2006)    $102mil
also:
X-Men Origins:  Wolverine  (2009)    $85mil

SO..whether it's the fourth or fifth entry in the series that $60mil weekend estimate looks pretty soft.


2011 big opening weekends:

Pirates 4       $90mil
Fast Five      $86mil
Hangover 2  $85mil
Thor             $65mil.

Guess who won't EVER be a sponsor of this page?


This originated from the old joke where a guy asks his friend what a senior tastes like.  He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Depends." 

Yum.

Who doesn't love peanut butter?


Reminds me of that urban legend about the woman having a surprise party for her, a dog and peanut butter...

$1 - all summer long!


I think that yes, Coke tastes WAAAAAAAAAAY better than Diet Coke or Coke Zero but I'll follow an old friend's advice:  Don't drink you calories.


And 310 calories, 1/7 of your daily calorie intake just on one pop?  Coke will be just a treat for me when I am not in a Zero mood.

Nudist beaches are funny...and kinda gross too...


It's the weekend!  Feel free to run naked around the house.  Not my house though.  I haven't laid down any plastic and you probably are leaking somewhere...

The Hurt Locker Room...


I woke up after all sticky too.  Thought I had showered before I fell asleep.  Ah well...

Who's you Daddy? No seriously, WHO is your daddy?


I'm debating whether I should make this strip topical or still with Charles Schultz's 'keep it timeless' philosophy.  Hmmmmm..... Making fun of people is ALWAYS easy....

The RAPTURE causes PIRATES 4 to disappoint at the box office...yeah, that's why...

THE RAPTURE!



Like the world really needed another PIRATES movie.

Crappy reviews, audiences still having the bitter taste of DEAD MAN'S CHEST and AT WORLD'S END on their palate and just plain fatigue gave PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES (hereby known as P4) the lowest opening day for a sequel in the series.

Opening days:                               $
DEAD MAN'S CHEST                 56mil
AT WORLD'S END                      43mil
ON STRANGER TIDES               35mil

This doesn't bode well for P4 as it's front-loaded with audiences rushing out first week for this movie.  Next week should see a drop of 50% of its audience which will cement its run as the lowest grosser of the series.

On the plus side, the much-lower costing BRIDESMAIDS lost only 19% of its audience from opening day last week.  It's this year's HANGOVER sleeper hit for sure.









Bri and the Real Girl


For those new to the world of Tanorexia, it's a comic that I started back in April this year.  The words are mine but the graphics and interface are from a program called http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/.  It's a lot of fun!

Brian has a blog!!

I'm heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!  :-)
