Wow

So like a month ago, me and my homeboys (my brothers and my dad) went and saw Quantum of Solace. As we were walking out, we saw this monstrosity of a poster...

We had a laugh at the crazy looking Goat, Lizard, Monkey, orb wielding people, and thought the title sounded like a noise you'd make when you sneeze,but thought nothing of it. We went on our merry way.

So just like 15 minutes ago, i found a Yahoo! headline thing that said "Animated 'Delgo' Has Worst Wide Release Opening Ever". That's right, ever. Here's a tidbit from the article.

"Don't feel too left out if you missed seeing the animated adventure movie "Delgo" this past weekend. No one did. In fact, the movie broke a record for having the worst opening ever for a film in wide release. "Delgo" earned a measly $511,920 this weekend on 2,160 screens, not even breaking the top ten. That's an average of $237 per screen for the three days. If you figure there were five screenings a day, and assume ticket prices are about $8, that comes out to two people in the theater per showing."

And apparently some guy just decided to make a 40 million dollar CGI movie, didn't get picked up by a studio, and made only half a million dollars. Poor guy. I laugh at him. But who would miss out on such a magical film? IMDB list such classic characters as Filo, Bogardus(My personal favorite. It's not a very pleasant name.),Elder Marley, Delgo's Father, Narrator (what a terrible name), Ando, Giddy, Lockni Man, and Spig and Spog. I mean, come on people. Can't we just give Bogardus (that name gets a laugh out of me every time, man) a break and go see his freakin' movie? The poster we saw even said it won a "Red Stick Award" for best animated feature. I mean, come on, who doesn't want a red stick?

K, I'm done going on about this. Anyone wanna go see Delgo? I heard it's really good. LIES!
