HOLIDAY EDITION!
Its Christmas today so happy holidays to all of any and all faiths. If you celebrate this day or not, it doesn't matter. Joy, Peace and Safety to you and your family!! This is a good day to just relax, reflect maybe and wish good things to all. Ideally it would be great if this trend could catch on.Weekly Update:
I must have been really tired toward the end of the week. The other night I was watching TV and I actually fell asleep!! That never happens to me ... so this past weekend and the coming week is all about sleep!! What is nice about work is I only have to work one day, we are all taking turns coming into the office and covering the phones. We do have to check from home our e-mail and messages but that is nothing.
At the movies:
Looks like comedy takes the box office crown with Ben Stiller in A Night At The Museum with a big four day gross of 43 million. This laugher not only entertains but educates! Hanging on to the #2 spot is the heart-warming "Pursuit of Happyness" with an extra 19 mil for the 4-day forecast. New at #3 is the "not-waiting for" FIFTH sequel Rocky Balboa with 26 mil. The Rocky number may appear to be decent, this is actually a 6-day gross since the movie opened on a Wednesday. The number itself is "ok" however the per screen average of $5k would indicate otherwise. If it stays in the top 5 next week then MGM might actually have a semi-winner for a change ... if not, well ... In at #4 is the suspense drama The Good Shepherd with 13.9 mil which is NOT a good number for a 4-day box office. Rounding off the top 5 is "Charlotte's Web" with an additional 9.7 mil and a cume of 28.5, looks like its time to eat the pig.
Other new movies that did not make the top 5: WB continues to impress with its growing list of box office misses and we add another to the recent list. The depressing drama based on a true story, We Are Marshall with only 9.4 mil. Personally, people do not go to the movies to be depressed during this time of year, why release it now?
Comment Response:
Most of the best food list is from San Francisco actually but yeah, come on out to LA! There are a ton of cool places to check out and have some good eats.
Other News:"It feels good ..." The Godfather of Soul, James Brown, died this morning at the age of 73. His music was unique and seat-jumping for me and he will be missed. He was hospitalized with pneumonia Sunday which lead to heart failure the following day. The legendary music icon who influenced SO many, his passing will leave a gap and ripple in the music community.
