Ferrell’s continued ‘Glory

Blades of Glory took in 33 million this weekend. Apparently, the studio was hoping to match the 47 million from Talledega Nights. I still haven’t bothered watching that movie yet, and I see everything!

Are those executives on crack? Ice skating is a pretty hard sell for even the most die hard fans. The plot is ludicrous, especially since Ferrell is about a foot too tall to even be an ice skater. Let alone, a world champion skater. But it’s comedy, so they can get away with it.

What will be next, some project featuring Ferrell doing his James Lipton impression for a high def camcorder? Say, come to think of it, I actually might watch that. They did do that stupid Jiminy Glick thing, perhaps he might consider some tv work for comedy central.

Or what if he did a Robert Goulet movie. That would be funny too. If they can stretch a high concept ice skating movie into real cash, then why not expand one of his skits. Everybody else is doing it.
