(Drudge sez: CHRISTMAS OUTRAGE: 'BAD SANTA' HITS #1 AT BOXOFFICE!)

Dimension Films' "Bad Santa" North American gross totaled $16.8 million in its first weekend of release, exceeding all industry expectations. The film was shown on 2005 screens, with a per screen average of $8379. Last night, "Bad Santa" was the #1 movie in America.

The movie received tremendous reviews, but audiences are showing their love for the film as well, with extremely strong exit surveys and word-of-mouth driving viewers into the theater. Dimension plans to expand the film a few hundred theaters each week through Cristmas, giving audiences what they want ... more "Bad Santa!"

This italic font sucks to read. Better switch to Comic Sans MS.

1. Is this an advertisement?

?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. It's from the Miramax website......

<okay>

[htuttle]

6. Is there supposed to be some sort of controversy about it?

I don't watch Entertainment Tonight very often...(like never).

I thought the Christian Fundamentalists hated Santa and Christmas trees anyway -- they're old pagan icons.

8. I saw Lou Dobbs diss it before it even vame out. I guess that

makes it "controversial." :hi:

[htuttle]

15. LOL! Ah, I see

For some reason, that reminds me of a old SubGenius slogan:

"You'll PAY To Know What You REALLY Think"

:hi:

9. Let's just say...

it's a baaaaaaad Santa

[foo_bar]

14. it's outrageous to the middle class

mainly people whose kids are asking too many questions about Santa and/or sex. Drudge doesn't need an excuse to put soft male erotica under a headline.

[foo_bar]

11. does Drudge get kickbacks?

[Liberal Veteran]

2. I don't quite understand the outrage...

It's not like it's supposed to be a story about the real Santa Claus or anything.

3. I saw this movie over the weekend and thought it was really bad!

They ought to change the name from Bad Santa to Bad Movie. I wonder if Lorilei Gilmore is proud of her participation.

[pruner]

5. what didn't you like about it?

I saw it over the weekend too & I thought it was great.

[AWD]

7. Wait!

Lauren Graham is in it???

OK, I gotta see it now!

[chaumont58]

13. You'll really get off

Her best line is "Fuck me, Santa! Fuck me, Santa!"

[Catherine Vincent]

18. I saw the movie over the weekend too.

That "fuck me santa" bit was funny. He really was a bad santa. Or should I say a horny santa. This movie is definitely not for kids with all that screwing and stealing. LOL! I give it a 5 out of 10.

[henslee]

16. so that was Lauren Graham.... great performance...

that movie took swearing to a whole nother level. I liked it.... it was old school richard pryor type cussin.

12. Hell, I'm a Democrat, I don't have to have people agree with me
