The weekend box office gives a pretty good snapshot of America’s current moviegoing tastes. To wit: They love crazy action that is well done; they don’t think Chris Rock is as funny as mainstream news wants them to think he is; and Sandra Bullock can’t open a can of tuna, much less a movie anymore. And oh yeah, put enough famous people in a silly comedy, and they’ll go see it. In its second week, Frank Miller’s “300″ takes another $30 million, surpassing the $100 million mark in box office take as easily as Leonidas slaughters those pesky Persians. Coming in second was “Wild Hogs”, while the Sandra Bullock movie “Premonition” brings in $18 million, and the Chris Rock’s “I Think I Love My Wife” scrapes the bottom with $5.7 million. This proves my theory that Chris Rock is not, and has never been, the funniest man in America. In fact, I don’t find Chris Rock the funniest man in my living room when there’s just him and I.
Spartans are King of the Hot Gates, baby.
