    'Avengers' sinks 'Battleship' at box office
    By Lisa Richwine and Piya Sinha-Roy, Reuters

    Superhero movie "The Avengers" topped U.S. and Canadian box office charts for a third straight weekend with $55.1 million, sending action movie "Battleship" into second place and toppling comedy "The Dictator," according to studio estimates on Sunday.

    "Avengers," from Walt Disney Co's Marvel Studios, has amassed more than $457 million in domestic ticket sales since its debut earlier this month and another $723 million internationally for a worldwide total of $1.18 billion, according to Disney.

    "Battleship," which had high hopes of becoming a summer blockbuster in the U.S. and Canada, could muster only $25.3 million this weekend in the face of the "Avengers" juggernaut.

    Re: Battleship

    I have a copy of Rocky Horror show that I am waiting for some night were I can put on my rain coat, grab my squirt gun, and crank it up. The problem I have is playing it at midnight, I am usually in bed by then.

    Gee. When I first saw Rocky Horror I thought it a sweet innocent, uplifting movie of the Mary Poppins type. And I remember the high school girls, who at 3 PM turned from sweet schoolgirls to hooker wannabes. Perhaps I am just cynical.

    Oh do those HS girls so that ...
    And take them buying clothing once in your life. I guarantee your hair will go gray in a hurry.
    More than one time a salesperson heard my rant against my nieces choices in clothing as "Early American Slut" and "Proud Streetwalker" clothing. All modesty seemed to leave their little minds in a clothing store.

    There's a nice, wonderful little store called THE CHILDREN'S PLACE that makes kiddie clothing and it is fashionable and adorable but it is also MODEST. Their clothing isn't plain. It's got sparklies and prints and all sorts of wild colors but most important. It's modest.

    Sorry to be a bit off subject but I feel that ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is not for most teens.

    A goodly percentage of the teens I have known could give sex tips to Dr Frankenfurter.

    Perhaps you just need to see it with a teenager; they could explain it for you.

    I ain't a virgin. No explanation is necessary.

    My apologies, I was too flippant. It's just that I have cooked for a program for homeless teens, volunteered at a social center for GLBT kids, had several homeless trans kids spend time sleeping on my floor. Quite a few of them were turning tricks. I have few illusions left about the innocence of youth.

    I wasn't angry or even disturbed. I was trying to be funny and obviously I didn't succeed.

    Re: Battleship

    Aliens and weird ones aliens and improbable battles...
    Why it's the American version of Godzilla-Mothra-Gihdra-Rodan movies. Lots of Godzilla movies.
    That makes it waste of late night time, mindless excuse to eat popcorn with your lover movie.

    (it's on PPV and it's silly fodder, stupid fun for a Friday night.)
    "Cliches out the wazoo" as they say...
    Lots of cliches. Stupid dialog, stupid aliens, Heroes that are everywhere they need to be adn do everything without messing their hair, etc.
    AND ONLY ONE ROUND LEFT!
    WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

    What can I say, I love stupid sci fi movies. I grew up watching cheesy sci fi on CHILLER THEATER.
    I turn off my mind and watch it.

    You need to get with Talula's roommate Gem, he has watched every Godzilla movie ever made, all 62 or 63 of them, in one sitting. Yes it went on for weeks.
