LOS ANGELES, California (PoopyCaca.com) - Sin City, the dark, violent, R-rated film demolished the PG-13 rated comedy, Beauty Shop, at the North American box office, proving once again, chick-flicks can't fight action movies and should only air on cable-movie channels for women.
Sin City, which stars Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Benicio Del Toro and Clive Owen took in $28.1 million, while the weaker, feminine, Beauty Shop, starring Queen Latifah, took in box office pocket change - $13.5 million.
"Typical" is how Harvard President, Lawrence Summers, described this weeks box office performance of Beauty Shop. "I'll bet that Beauty Shop made even less money than that, but they had a woman doing the math and you know how that goes," said Summers from his testosterone riddled Cambridge, Massachusetts compound.
Camille Paglia said that Sin City being number one at the box office is "indicative of a deconstructed Western Civilization where the penis and violence are combined by the mainstream media providing a way for the population to parasocialize, deriding any possibility of evolution or postmodern reevaluation of the male role." A translator was not available at press time.
"I thought Sin City rocked," said Bill Broward, 21, who works full time as a greeter at an unnamed major retail outlet where he has to wear a blue vest. "It was cool. I like the comic book, graphic novel thing it came from. It was fun. I’m glad it was number one. Everyone at work is going to be talking about the box office, you know, after the Pope and stuff."

Obviously, Sin City has the wider potential market. I was surprised at who I saw in the audience when I went, comic book fanboys and art students were in the apparent miniority. Question: Would you take an 11 year old to see Sin City? I can't imagine what was going through the parents' head when they dragged their kids to this, are people that hard up for baby sitters?
Beauty Shop might be funny, but its first impression is chick flick.

Beauty shop is a chick flick, and it had piss poor marketing.
I also was confused about the amount of youngins in the movie. Specifically those that weren't with parents or guardians.
