First Rule: You Do Not Talk about Hulk Club
Box office predictions for the weekend. Hmmmm, I'd say that TheIncredible Fight Club will smash M. Night Shyamalan'sWhat's Happenin'! Wait, The Mung Hour can cough up a better parody title than Incredible Fight Club. Here are some options:
The Green Transporter Incredible History X Supergreen I Am Hulk's Raging Bile Duct
$55 million is a good bet for the Hulk. It has enough buzz going for it, but Hulk's big balls won't hang as impressively as Iron Man's or Indy's. This summer has shown us that a true blockbuster must include the ladies in attendance. Sex In the City notwithstanding, the reason that Iron Man debuted so large and hung on so long was the date factor. The fanboys were able to shore up dates. Dates that actually wanted to see this movie. No offense to Eddie Norton, but the girls don't wet their panties for him the way they do for Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard slurping Grey Goose shots off strippers' tits on a private plane. Plus KungFu Panda holdovers will bite into it. Still, it should trounce M. Night's latest thrillbag. His film should tank in around $23 million. Monday morning, Michael Bay's Night Platinum Dunes office should be getting a humble phone call from him begging to direct the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
There really is no reason for The Mung Hour to exist. Except to critique the Oscars each year, review a film or show, and occasionally worship George Clooney while tearing Steven Seagal a new one. You get the idea.
