Braindead Box Office

It’s hard to make anything coherent of a box office that ends with Sandra Bullock’s Proposal and The Hangover in the top spots. Both movies appeal to people who enjoy sharp blows to the head and throwing up inside their own clothes. The Proposal takes the nauseating conventions of the Sandra Bullock romantic comedy and somehow makes it worse by marrying it with a touch of the frat comedy. The Hangover is just a frat comedy, racist, misogynist and just downright retarded. And they’re what’s ruling the box office.

Of course there isn’t much competition. There’s only so long that UP or Star Trek or Night at the Museum could rule the box office. And Year One, despite being retarded enough to score 20 mil, wasn’t retarded enough to win the Idiocracy demographic far enough to shove The Hangover or The Proposal aside. Of course at number 4, this means that 3 out of the top 4 movies appeal to people who should be somehow prevented from reproducing.
