Gabbing Geek Box Office Report: You Know What Earned The Most, But Read This Article Anyway

Look, do I need to draw a map?  Everyone knows what came in #1 last weekend.  The only question is how much did it come in #1 by.  Seriously, was there any chance it wouldn’t?

You know what’s even odder?  All the Gabbing Geeks have seen that movie by now, and no one has written a review for it.  Not even Ryan listing all the things that were wrong about it, which he even does for movies he likes.

Pixels Sucks…and Why It Didn’t Have To Suck (Spoiler Free Review)

Let There Be Peace on SNL: Eddie Murphy to Return!

One of the ONLY things missing from Tom Shale’s BRILLIANT 2008 book, Live From New York: An Uncensored History Of Saturday Night Live, was the participation of the biggest star to ever come out of SNL (with great apologies to Mr. Murray, Mr. Ferrell, Mr. Downey Jr, and Ms. Fey).  Eddie Murphy, a talents whose rise was so meteoric that he is still the only person to HOST the show while still a cast member, never looked back since 1984.  Until now…
