Beukey on Pop Culture

This blog will focus on pop culture, with an emphasis on views outside, overlooked, or ignored by the mainstream. I may veer off-topic. We are all grown-ups, so don't act shocked at occasional bad language. This blog is not the place for those of you who stood in line to see "The Lake House".

Will Ferrell Visits "Land Of The Flops"

Well, it finally happened, thank God. The great American love affair with unfunny Will Ferrell is over. Land Of The Lost (movie budget $100 million, advertising budget estimated to be $30 million) made less than $20 million in its first weekend of release. There is nowhere to go but down from there.

I saw a trailer for this movie, and it looked awful. Even worse than his usual dreck. Is telling Matt Lauler to "Eat it" supposed to be funny, and worth $10 to see?

I can only hope this is the start of a long series of flops. Soon he will need to make the career-reviving dog movie (think Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson's Marley and Me). I can only hope people stay away this time.
