I haven't seen Iron Man 2 yet so I skippity skipped to post that I just re-watched Winchester '73 . Man I love that movie but I never realized Rock Hudson was in it. I watched the whole movie trying to figure out who he was. Then I looked it up, laughed and watched it again. oh Hollywood! You're so silly sometimes.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Nightmare on Elm St. made $9 million.
I feel badly for Jackie Earle Haley. He's one of my current favorites and I want him to succeed. While I would not see an Elm St. movie on a bet (not my speed) and I was sad to see a clip that proved his performance was not up to the original (Even HE says Robert Englund is Freddie), I wish it had done better.

Englund's turn as the creepy high school janitor on a recent Bones was very funny.

Hey. New board.
Don't feel bad: Nightmare made $39 million last weekend (it was #1) and has already exceeded its production budget. I expect it will make more than 9 million next weekend from people who walked into the theater to see Iron Man and said "Oh, a new Nightmare movie? Maybe I'll see that next week." and then actually will. Then HBO or somebody will snap it up to show on Halloween and a sequel to a reboot of a franchise with WAY too many sequels will, of course, be greenlit.

Speaking of Winchesters, I bit the bullet and bought the first four volumes of Adèle Blanc-Sec today. Hope I like them (and that the movie eventually gets here)!
Of course, since I was paying ridiculous amounts for shipping anyway, I also got some Astérix, the 3rd and the 4th volumes of Persepolis that I couldn't afford when last in France, and the final volume of Le Chat du rabbin, which is apparently coming out as an animated feature next month.
