Hey Adventureland Friends: Sorry, guys & gals, but this will have to do. We were nailed by an ice storm. This left me without power for some time. And I stil without heat. Sadly, things aren't loking up. Now they are predicting a major snow -- about 6-9 inches -- through the weekend. Perhaps I can build a igloo for warmth. Want your birthday noted here?

New Line Cinema film, starring Ferrell, grossed $15.3 million in its debut. Lackluster compared to Ferrell's 2006 NASCAR parody "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which opened at $47 million, and last year's figure skating comedy "Blades of Glory," which earned $33 million in its first weekend. Box office analysts said "Semi-Pro" likely suffered because it was released during a normally slow season and was rated R, while "Talledega Nights" and "Blades of Glory" were rated PG-13. "Will Ferrell is always a draw and audiences love him. But this particular weekend is not quite as strong as his earlier efforts," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers. New Line representatives declined to comment. Last week, Time Warner announced that New Line would be merged with Warner Bros. to cut costs and improve profitability. Last weekend's top film, Sony Pictures thriller "Vantage Point," dropped to second with $13 million, bringing its two-week domestic total to $41 million. Sony's new release "The Other Boleyn Girl" performed better than expected, opening at #4 with $8.3 million at 1,166 theaters. Its $7,118 per theater average outdistanced other movies in the marketplace. The weekend's other opening, the Summit Entertainment fantasy romantic comedy "Penelope," debuted in eighth place with $4 million. Box office revenues overall were down for the third straight week. The top 12 movies grossed $81 million, down 10% from last weekend and 25% from the same weekend in 2007. Estimated ticket sales for Friday - Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers. Final figures will be released Monday. 01) "Semi-Pro" @ $15.3 million. 02) "Vantage Point" @ $13 million. 03) "Spiderwick Chronicles" @ $8.8 million. 04) "The Other Boleyn Girl" @ $8.3 million 05) "Jumper" @ $7.6 million. 06) "Step Up 2 The Streets" @ $5.7 million. 07) "Fool's Gold" @ $4.7 million. 08) "Penelope" @ $4 million. 09) "No Country For Old Men" @ $4 million. 10) "Juno" @ $3.4 million. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/ +===================================+ <> <> <> NOW SHOWING <> <> <> +===================================+ July 2008 SEMI-PRO Set in 1976 against the backdrop of the ABA – fast-paced, wild & crazy basketball league that rivaled the NBA & made innovations like the 3-point shot & slam dunk contest. Jackie Moon’s franchise, Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, they must now do the seemingly impossible – win. Rated R for language and some sexual content. "...Ferrell, while sporadically amusing, has officially transitioned from actor to court jester." -Chicago Tribune, Matt Pais "...the laughs do come, but not as readily, not as heartily and not as joyfully as you might expect..." -San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle http://www.semipromovie.com/ +===================================+ <> <> <> COMING SOON <> <> <> +===================================+ March 14, 2008 NEVER BACK DOWN The new kid in town is determined to learn the discipline of mixed martial arts after he is humiliated and defeated by a bully in a fight.

Faustino found himself in front of the camera at an early age, for by the time he was just 3 months old, he was playing Lily Tomlin’s child in a comedy special. By 1983, David had starred on “Little House on the Prairie” and in the feature films I Ought to Be in Pictures and The Star Chamber. A pint-sized Hollywood veteran, Faustino was never at a lack for work, and after a brief stint on the sitcom “I Had Three Wives”, Faustino landed a steady acting job on Fox’s runaway hit “Married With Children”. Since the series ended after an impressive 10-year run in 1987, Faustino has appeared in the films 12 Bucks (1998), Totally Irresponsible (2000) and The Heist (2000). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004910/ http://www.bundyology.com/df.html +===================================+ <> <> <> SNACK BAR <> <> <> +===================================+ +===================================+ <> <> <> BUDDY LIST <> <> <> +===================================+ !!!

Her children Elijah & Grace hid under the stairs and she hung on outside their cubbyhole as the winds shook the house. "Our road looks like a war zone. It's pretty bad," said Judd. The concert raised more than $17,000, said organizer Lynn Fox, who also performed with The Fox Brothers. The tornadoes swept across Tennessee on Feb. 5-6, killing 32 people and injuring more than 190. A total of 50+ people were killed across the South. Judd, who own an 800-acre farm, said the storm damaged her home, knocked down trees and tore off a barn roof. SINATRA GETS PALM SPRINGS STAR Frank Sinatra Jr. has joined his famous dad & sister on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. The 64-year-old singer received star No. 307 on Palm Canyon Drive. Sinatra noted that he used to play on the same street as a kid. "This has been quite a sentimental journey," he said. Nancy Sinatra said her brother deserves the honor because he "is practically, single-handedly, keeping the American songbook alive." He has made numerous records, including a tribute to his father. http://www.palmsprings.com/stars/ +===================================+ <> <> <> REEL TALK <> <> <> +===================================+ PARAMOUNT'S LAST HD DVD RELEASES In a further sign that Sony's Blu-ray has won the high-definition format war, Paramount Pictures will release its last HD DVDs.

Universal Studios said last week it was shifting its focus to Sony's Blu-ray. JEN'S TWINS NAMED MAX & EMME Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony have reportedly named their newborn twins Max & Emme. Lopez' manager, Simon Fields, confirmed the babies' names. The twins were born Feb. 22, with 5-pound, 7-ounce Emme arriving about 15 minutes before her 6-pound brother. Fields said that Lopez, a first-time mom, was "thrilled" at the babies' arrival. Anthony has 3 other children. The Latin music power couple married in 2004. The babies arrived a day after their parents were named winners of Latin music's "Premio Lo Nuestro" awards. Lopez won best solo pop singer, while Anthony was named salsa artist of the year. http://www.jenniferlopez.com NOTRE DAME 2 HONOR SHEEN Activist-actor Martin Sheen will be honored by the University of Notre Dame with its Laetare Medal, the school announced. Sheen, who starred in NBC's "The West Wing," is to receive the medal at the school's May 18 commencement. Since 1883, the Laetare Medal has been awarded annually to a Catholic "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the church and enriched the heritage of humanity." Recipients include President Kennedy, Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan and U.S. House Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill. Sheen has used his recognition as an actor to help others, said the university's president, Rev. John I. Jenkins. Sheen (67) describes himself as a Catholic peace activist. 'JACKASS' STEVE-O ARRESTED Steve-O of "Jackass" was arrested for investigation of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance at his Hollywood home.

Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was booked at a Hollywood police station on suspicion of vandalism and an outstanding traffic warrant, Aguirre said. He was also booked for investigation of possessing a controlled substance for allegedly having a small quantity of drugs on him. +===================================+ <> <> <> TECH TALK <> <> <> +===================================+ +===================================+ <> <> <> GAME TALK <> <> <> +===================================+ +===================================+ <> <> TIME CAPSULE <> <> +===================================+ March 1, 1864 - Louis Ducos de Hauron patented a machine for taking and projecting motion pictures.
