America Has No Taste
Let’s have a look at the weekend’s box office chart from the US.
1 The Expendables $35,030,000
2 Eat Pray Love $23,700,000
3 The Other Guys $18,000,000
4 Inception $11,370,000
5 Scott Pilgrim vs. the World $10,525,000
Really America? We let you have the film first and you repay us by going to see The Expendables and Eat Pray Love!?
I am consoling myself with the knowledge that the phrase “From the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz” holds a lot more weight over here and that it will no doubt have an awesome DVD that will sell well. Besides, there won’t be a sequel anyway. My only concern is that if films like Scott Pilgrim, Kick Ass and Watchmen don’t do well in cinemas then we’re just going to have more and more mainstream comic book films and less originality.
I shake my fist at you America.

I felt guilty not being over impressed by the PS3 game & deleting it straight away.

Ooo, the Expendables. I’ve heard that’s good.
