Hey there. How was your weekend? Mine was filled with revelations. See, the weekend is generally the time I watch the most movies and television, usually compiling a list in my head of notes and observations that would otherwise go unheard. Aren’t you lucky?

Revelation #1: Sharon Stone Films Banned In China.

Basic Instinct 2 will continue to get as many rentals as it did before the ban.

Revelation #2: They Made a Jurassic Park 3

Anyone else forget this movie existed? I caught it on TV this weekend and realized it was the first time I’d actually watched it all the way through. It’s essentially just a series of Raptor encounters capped with a Pteradon attack. Apparently, most of the big scenes were leftovers from the previous movies. Felt like it.

Revelation #3: Girls Can No Longer Make Fun Of Nerds

Judging by this weekend’s box office, women are just as ridiculous when it comes to Event Movies as men. Sex and The City actually beat out Indiana Jones because ladies, young and old, flooded the theater on Friday. The movie took in 26 million on that day alone, but there was a tremendous drop-off the next day because they ALL went to see it on opening night. I think it’s fair to say that girls have now lost their right to crack jokes about Star Wars nerds dressing up and waiting in line. No doubt there were thousands of cougars-in-training dressed up like homeless hookers, wielding cosmos like lightsabers.

Revelation #4: The Spelling Bee Is FANTASTIC!

Case in point:

“That’s a relief.” I seriously love the Bee for moments just like that one. And also for the patchy middle-school moustaches.

Revelation #5: Wired Lady Should Host Sticky Floor More Often

Friday’s episode had almost 3 times the view of my regular episodes. More proof that girls are nerdier than guys.
