Lamar Smith Presents: The Sunday Screen Sopapilla!

Greetings, Blog of Doom Members and Savio Vega Fans!

Yes, the rumors of true, Representative Lamar Smith has returned! Savio Vega Fan Travis Banks (it still astounds me that you SOPA/PIPA hating cowards hide behind usernames) had to attend multiple football games this weekend, and decided to skip out on his Hispanic movie column. But like Joseph Cool, when I see opportunity, mainly opportunity to gain votes this close to election day, I snatch it up. And thus, the Sunday Screen Sopapilla has arrived!

Please note that this is a spinoff of the critically acclaimed Cinematic SOPApilla, which was brought to you by SOPA and PIPA!

Last week, Mr. Banks asked you who the best James Bond actor is, and you answered Sean Connery.

Has the RNC Incident soured you on Clint Eastwood?
Yes
No
Meh

The Hangover Part FFF

Ouch, my head...

I think we all partied a little TOO hard last week during the FFF One-Year Anniversary Fiesta. Hey, why is Mike Tyson's tiger in the bathroom? And why are Bart Simpson, Jay Leno and a monkey bathing Krusty the Clown?


One person I didn't see at the Fiesta was Good Ole Jope, who claims he couldn't make it because he had to go sell some cell phones.


Seriously, dude looks JUST LIKE Jope.

Last week I asked you to #settlethefeud and vote on who writes the better Fiesta, and not only did that NOT trend worldwide on Twitter, you DIDN'T #settlethefeud. The poll ended in a TIE, with both myself and Jope receiving 40% of the vote. The other 20 went to the Master of SOPApilla Baking himself, Representative Lamar S. Smith. Poor Brown Chiclets.



-- Box Office News: It's the worst weekend for theaters since 2008!
-- Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Lincoln, The Oranges, and You May Not Kiss The Bride
-- In Theaters This Week: Resident Evil: Retribution
-- Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: The Cabin in the Woods

-- Box Office Mojo takes a look at the summer's winners and losers
-- Screened takes a look at L.A. Confidential
-- Mitt Romney wants a movie about himself?
-- Ever wanted to be like James Bond? Well here's your chance!
-- A Samurai Jack movie?
-- Extendiana Jones
-- James Cameron, the guy who claims he came up with the idea of Star Wars, tries to take credit for another franchise
-- Get ready for more Bourne and more Ted
-- No Director's Cut for The Dark Knight Rises
-- And finally, FOX News celebrates 007's 50th Birthday by declaring Goldfinger the best Bond movie. To make sure this was accurate, I turned to Our Boy An-Day for some ANDalYsis:

"FoxNews is owned by Fox, who owns Fox Movie Channel, which is going to show movies that are distributed by 20th Century Fox's Blu Ray department, so of course they're going to say great things about a James Bond movie. But at least they picked the best of the bunch- Goldfinger."
Welp!

And that brings us to this week's poll.



Who is the best James Bond?
Sean Connery
George Lazenby
Roger Moore
Timothy Dalton
Pierce Brosnan
Daniel Craig

Friday Film Fiesta One Year Anniversary Fiesta

Welcome everyone to the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECTACULAR of the Friday Film Fiesta!

Let's have some cake, shall we?


Yes, it was exactly one year ago this week that I rescued the Fiesta from the depths of obscurity after Brown Chiclets briefly rescued it from the depths of Jope. And what a year it has been! From SOPApillas to Real Steel puns to Dark Knight Rises penis jokes, the Fiesta has HAD IT ALL. Well, I don't think there's been any hardcore full frontal nudity, but that's why we look forward to the future!

Last week, Lou Holtz asked you if you were sad that Jersey Shore was canceled, and 50% of you voted no.

And hey, some special guests have turned out for the Fiesta's Fiesta!



Hey, you know the King of Prop Comedy can't resist a Fiesta! It's Carrot Top!


Straight from Thunderdome, it's Mad Max!


And here's Van Halen to sing a song written exclusively for the Fiesta's Fiesta!


Jope is Cryin'
Set to "Jamie's Cryin'" by Van Halen

He saw the new look Fiesta
When he turned on his computer
He had to get revenge
And it was now or never
It made him feel so sad
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'

Now Jope wouldn't say all right
He knew they'd forget his column
When Jedi took off one night
He tried to make the column better
Shoulda sent him a complaint letter, uh yeah yeah
Uh, just to try to make himself feel better
It'd said "Gimme (Gimme another chance)"
But he knows what that'll get him

Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'

Now Jope's been in a theater before (Ahh-ahh)
And he knows what movies are for (Ahh-ahh)
They should mean a little, a little more (Ahh-ahh)
Than explosions. Woo!

(Guitar Solo)

Shoulda sent him a complaint letter, uh yeah yeah
Uh, just to try to make himself feel better
It'd said "Gimme (Gimme another chance)"
But he knows what that'll get him

Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jope is cryin'

Enough Jope bashing, let's get to the news!
