Novocaine - that was stinko. Bleh!

I kind of liked Novocaine. I've never seen the original Pink Panther movies mostly because every time I try they are so completely unfunny that I give up quickly. But it has been a decade at least since I tried so maybe I'm more refined now.

The trailer looks terrible and the "turn off your cell phone" thing I've had to sit through a dozen times already is more than enough to keep me far from the movie.

This is how I feel about most Mel Brooks and all of Monty Python, but, odly enough, I love the Pink Panther films.

Ohm yeah, and I meant to reference that Steve Martin film above. Yup. I did.

It may be my favorite as well. Sillier than the first two (three if you include "A Shot in the Dark") but loads of fun regardless. Love the laughing gas scene!

My parents turned me on to these films at a very young age. I saw them all in the theater, except the original. Very cool that you are turning your kids on to them. They really are timeless.

Not to mention the current boxed set of them all are swankily packaged in Shag artwork.

I don't think the Pink Panther films have dated well. Either that, or I just don't enjoy them as much as when I saw them in theaters on their original runs ... when I was 12.

I still think Peter Sellers was brilliant, and that attempting to put someone else in the role is folly. Though, of course, the irony that mousepod pointed out is that Sellers would never have performed the role if the folly wasn't committed in the first place.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Inspector Clouseau bumbled his way to the top of the box office as Steve Martin's "The Pink Panther" debuted with $21.7 million to lead a rush of new releases.

I keep hoping for a revolt from the viewing public against this endless onslaught of crappy remakes. Apparently, I will be waiting for a long time. Why does anyone want to even see this crap?

Well, the suburban families have to do something with their time.

This weekend was a rare one for me. I couldn't find a single movie playing within 30 miles of me that I was willing to go see (that I hadn't already seen). Not even with my low standards and really wanting to get out of the house last night.

I almost went and saw Firewall just because but ended up watching Blade on TNT (might as well watch the crap for free). But I would have expected more families to end up at Firewall than The Pink Panther.

I won't be seeing The Pink Panther. Just wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it (obviously, from my earlier posts).

On Rotten tomatoes, though, I'm amused that Firewall has a lower rating than Pink Panther - and the Pink Panther is only at a 20% rating.

'Firewall' came in 4th. Even the monkey beat Harrison Ford. Wow!
