Weekend box office news

Well apparently someone had all the short buses gassed up and running this weekend with nowhere in particular to go or else DirectTV lost its main satellite link. That's the only explanation I have for the Eddie Murphy movie Norbit coming in first at the box office this past weekend.

C'mon, people, what's it going to take to get you to quit going to see any piece of crap Eddie Murphy happens to be in. Would you have gone if it had starred Martin Lawrence? I don't think so, as Big Mama's House 2 will attest.

As long as people keep handing over their hard-earned dollars for sub-standard fare, Eddie will be content to crank them out. He can do better, and so can you! Stand up for your right to be entertained. Otherwise he will be like the Chicago Cubs, putting out garbage team after garbage team because their "fans" apparently can't tell the difference and keep filling up Wrigley Field regardless of the product on the field. (I still believe the Cubs could charge $8 a seat to watch them cut the grass when the team is out of town and only 6% of the people there would even realize there is never going to be a ballgame that day.)
