The much touted anti-teacher movie had the second worst opening since "The Rocker" back in 2008. Stats for worst openings have been recorded since 1982. Way to end the weekend.

They're going to have to release it on DVD fairly quickly for showings in fundy churches that preach hatred of the poor.

I'm looking forward to Parts 2 and 3. Believe me, they will probably all be MST3K-level horrible.

The main problem with these idiots is they see FOX "News" beating MSNBC 2 to 1 and believe that means they outnumber Liberals 2 to 1.
What it actually means is FOX "News" viewers have no where else to go.
