Box Office Recap: WTF!?!?!

In what has to be one of the worst box office weekends of all time, the #1 slot went to...*drum roll*...Meet the Spartans with a gross of $18.7M.


That's right ladies and gentlemen a movie starring Carmen fucking Electra is #1 in the box office. Meet the Spartans is another in a line of spoof movies done by the dynamic duo of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the knuckleheads responsible for such greats as Epic Movie, Date Movie, and the worst parts of the Scary Movie franchise. This time they set their sites on 300 (and movies like it).

Other than Boobs McWhoreface the next most famous people in this cinematic travesty are Kevin Sorbo and Diedrich Bader. Fucking Hercules and the dude from The Drew Carey Show NOT funny enough to be on Whose Line people! How the hell does something like this happen? I realize the choices at the theaters are about as bad as any of the candidates for either party in the Presidential Primaries, but wasn't there a better option than going to see fucking Meet the Spartans like reading a book, or going outdoors, or ritual suicide?

Does this mean the Cloverfield hype is officially done? If it couldn't beat out fucking Meet the Spartans in only its second week of release, it has to be considered a failure in some respect...right?
