Flotsam & Jetsam

Wait, Is Tyler Perry Jewish?

Between the Wizards and the Avatar there’s a lot of money floating through Hollywood right now. Vast riches unknown by the average shmo! Sure glad we have the Jews to take care of it for us.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince grossed a magical $US58.4 million in it’s opening US day alone. It pulled in $US22.2 million in midnight shows. Can some one talk to J.K. Rowling about giving America an loan? [ Variety ]

Right now, with it being the End of Days and all, what would you do with $US240 million dollars? Finance a James Cameron 3D movie about a band of humans pitted against a distant planet’s indigenous population? OBVIOUSLY! [LAT]

Forbes List of 2008’s highest paid men in Hollywood. The children of Israel round out the list. So they control the movies and the banks! How do they do it?[/Film]

Fox’s telecast All-Star Game delivered an average audience of 14.6 million viewers, making it the most-watched midsummer classic since 2002 — even without Jon Hamm’s sexy hands gripping a bat. [THR]

Nick Hornby’s An Education has gotten some pretty rave reviews. It looks to be poised as a real Oscar contender. The trailer, filled with British accents, does look pretty titillating. [Variety ]

  • Artie Fufkin

    in the words of sarah silverman, as a jew i am afraid we are losing control of the media

  • Helman

    @sallymad: I thought precisely the same thing, and then felt like a terrible, terrible person.

  • AndIAmTellingYou

    A Trade Roundup tag and a Tyler Perry mugshot? The jokes write themselves folks...

  • allyzay

    @Natasha VC: eeeew i don't wanna think about harry potter's boners.

  • DaeSu

    Tyler Perry?! Dear God. I have repeatedly warned my girlfriend that if she ever watches a Tyler Perry film while I'm home, I'm taking the dog and moving out.

    @allyzay:

    I thought it was a boner joke.

  • Jackiewsu

    @Conchie Birdie: I thought some of the movies were funny but not the best. The TV shows are horrific.

  • allyzay

    @allyzay: theoretically that youtube would be at the bottom, like it was in the old commenting system but you know why not just make shit different randomly for no reason at all. imagine that video is AFTER the colon.

  • allyzay

    so, um, i'm the only person uncomfortable with the title "half-blood prince", right? i mean, i get that british people are "even less racially sensitive than americans" and "don't get this kind of thing" and "eat gross shit" blah blah blah so i guess it is what it is for jk rowling, but they changed the title of the first one from "philosopher" to "sorcerer" because americans were deemed too stupid to understand a word like philosopher, so...half-blood? really?



    it gives me an excuse to do this though:

  • Conchie Birdie

    This may sound strange but I've never actually seen Tyler Perry - I've only watched those ads on tbs for his shows or whatever. Am I missing something here?

  • straightbuggin

    @allyzay:

    Alas, but Snape is the Half-Blood Prince, so we are talking about...Alan Rickman's boners?

    You are killing me. Stop it!

    @Madge: I'm certain Mr. Perry's boobs look better, too.

    Tori Spelling looks better with a little extra weight.

    @someonelikeyou:

    Oops - just saw that others saw the same thing!
