Ladies and Gentlemen meet Metta World Peace.
Perhaps he is an all new man. Even since Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace, he’s looked pretty solid. His last two games have been great efforts. Maybe Mike Brown has the right idea making him the leader of the bench (aka 6th Man). One this is for sure, this dunk from … Read more
Box Office Barometer 12-19-11: What’s Going On?
Blah, blah, blah, the box office is down again this week. Surprisingly, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked are both way down from their previously installments (-$22 million and -$25 million, respectively). Normally, the next step in any analysis would be about the state of the movie industry and … Read more
Box Office Barometer 12-12-11: Calculating Actors’ Values
Movies like New Years Eve get made, because studios think “star = money, therefore more stars = more money.” Thus, we get this concoction of 18 “stars” in a two hour movie. Even just by looking at the movie poster, you can’t ascertain anything except “actors,” “New Years Eve,” and “smiles.” Since the movie only … Read more
Box Office Barometer 11-29-11: A New Hope?
Another weekend means more analysis lamenting the decline in movie ticket sales. For every movie that does well like The Muppets, there’s a Happy Feet Two (leading to layoffs), Immortals (successful, but the budget’s too high to make money), and Tower Heist (just didn’t meet expectations). Instead of finishing the year on a sour note, … Read more

Requiem for Community
NBC has all but canceled Community this week, sending the internet abuzz. It is a quality show with a rabid, but small fan base. As a network that was defined by quality in the 80s and 90s, current president of programming Bob Greenblatt claims the he is trying to restore NBC back to its glory … Read more
Box Office Barometer 11-14-11: Debating Immortals’ Mediocre Status
Another weekend, another depressed box office. As the movie industry looked for hope from two cross-dressing lead roles (J. Edgar and Jack and Jill) and the self-proclaimed “non-300 rip-off” rip-off Immortals. With Adam Sandler coming in second with what will surely be another $100 million movie featuring his “brave” performance, Immortals used some fighting pun … Read more
