In a true cinematic insult,


Thursday, February 21, 2008

blondeambitionboxofficehit.jpgIn a true cinematic insult, Conor Bresnan, editor in chief of Box Office Mojo International, has told People that Jessica Simpson's travesty of a film Blonde Ambition "will gross more than No Country For Old Men." But wait, what's Simpson got on Javier Bardem besides her double Ds? Actually, the former Soviet nations. While the long-forgotten film (co-starring Luke Wilson? yikes) only survived an eight-week run in Texas, grossing just $1,771, Ambition just hit number one in the Ukraine. "How to explain the comedy's success abroad? One word: escapism." If only we all could escape this. [via]
