OUR CRYSTAL BALLS SAY

ANAL-YSIS

Apparently there’s this movie out called The Avatar. Haven’t heard much about it myself, but from what I understand it’s become something of a cult hit, like Rocky Horror or The Room. I guess people dress up like the main characters and act out the scenes and throw spoons at the screen or something. Don’t really get the fuss, but it seems to be doing fairly well at the box office, in fact it will likely beat out newcomers Taken 2: Mad Max 4: The Final Solution (aka Edge of Darkness) and What Happens in Vegas 2 (aka When in Rome) starring the adorable Kristen Bell – who’s kind of like Mel Gibson, except cute and small and less Jew-hatey. I suppose I’ll have to check out The Avatar eventually – being a movie biz pundit and all. Screw it; I’ll just wait until they run it on HBO and go see The Tooth Fairy instead. He’s a big muscly guy who has to be a tooth fairy? For real? OMG!
