Will be popular in the U.S. and Europe. But I predict a small opening Down Under.

Amazingly, Richard Simmons was not cast.
Posted by: WriterDude | June 10, 2008 at 03:03 PM
Anything stupid in the news other than BO is all right with me.
Posted by: lilrascal | June 10, 2008 at 03:06 PM
From the homepage: "'Cornhole: The Movie' follows four teams as they make there way to the National Cornhole Championship in Cincinnati, Ohio."
Someone's not up on they're grammar.

Beavis & Butthead must be proud!
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 03:09 PM
Who's in it?
(The movie, people, the movie)

(psst, lilrascal -- BO? Is it such a slow news day that they're [not there] giving body odor too much coverage?)
(*makes mental note to leave CNN off today*)
Posted by: WriterDude | June 10, 2008 at 03:20 PM
Didn't they used to show highlights from the National Cornhole Championship on "The Really Wide World of Sports"?
Posted by: Danny | June 10, 2008 at 03:21 PM
I heard Richard Gere may be in it, Meanie.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 03:23 PM
*snork* @ Danny, both times.
Posted by: WriterDude | June 10, 2008 at 03:25 PM
I heard Richard Gere was going to try to french kiss the Dalai Lama. Or maybe that was the Dilly-Dally Llama. I get them confused.
Posted by: JayP | June 10, 2008 at 03:25 PM
Meanie,
Here's your A-list (har!) cast.
Posted by: Danny | June 10, 2008 at 03:26 PM
It'll be HUGE in San Francisco! (nttawwt)
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Can't wait for The Making of .... special on cable.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2008 at 03:31 PM
I think I'll see it after it's been in the theaters for a while. I don't want to be there the day it opens.
Posted by: Danny | June 10, 2008 at 03:33 PM
I'd stay away from the trailer, also.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2008 at 03:35 PM
Umm...Needs a NSFW label, especially the last scene...
Posted by: Allen at Division | June 10, 2008 at 03:36 PM
Me either, Danny. It's gonna be packed! I'd hate to have to squeeze inside.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Some of those openings can be dangerous. Better bring protection.
Posted by: JayP | June 10, 2008 at 03:39 PM
I'm not sure about the quality though. That's what you get when you're working with a tight budget.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 03:40 PM
But, didn't it get two thumbs up, Siouxie?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2008 at 03:44 PM
Meanie, I heard that Ebert fully backed the film, while Roeper couldn't seem to get into it.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 03:49 PM
But both of them thought it was surprisingly deep.
Posted by: Danny | June 10, 2008 at 03:53 PM
I'd heard the entire project was in jeopardy because the original director pulled out.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2008 at 03:54 PM
*sits in theater seat*
Oh. Fudge.
Posted by: fivver | June 10, 2008 at 03:55 PM
Am I the only one who would like to join her team and help Gina with her cornhole? We could practice together until we could both...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | June 10, 2008 at 03:58 PM
Good thing they didn't pull the plug, Meanie.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 04:00 PM
Chris, you help Gina...I'll help Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrramon.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 04:02 PM
um...on second though...mebbe not. He may like it.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 04:03 PM
*adds 't' up there*
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 04:04 PM
Our church has an annual Cornhole Tournament. They finally renamed it the Bags Tournament this year. Too many snorks from reading the weekly bulletin, I suppose.
Posted by: Cat R | June 10, 2008 at 04:17 PM
Cat R--
Were there just too many "Oh God! Yes! That's it! Just like that! Slip it in there! Jesus! Yes! Just a little to the left! That's the spot!" comments for church?
Posted by: JayP | June 10, 2008 at 04:23 PM
*SacrilegeSnork! at JayP*
Posted by: Cat R | June 10, 2008 at 04:25 PM
Adds 'it' to 4:04 PM post correction and can't seem to stop laughing about the thought of a way to fine corrected 'it'.
Posted by: lilrascal | June 10, 2008 at 04:26 PM
You people are sick!
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 04:32 PM
A church cornhole tournament? Was the winner the person who led the most sheep astray?
Posted by: Danny | June 10, 2008 at 04:37 PM
You guys are blowing this whole thing out of proportion.
Posted by: Erb's point | June 10, 2008 at 04:39 PM
Not only that, Erb's, but the hole thing sucks.
Posted by: WhiteSchnauzer | June 10, 2008 at 04:43 PM
Cat,
I'll bet you're right that the weekly-bulletin snorks were a problem. But the crank calls to the church office ("I'm trying to reach Pastor Cornhole," etc.) didn't help, either.
Posted by: Danny | June 10, 2008 at 04:44 PM
Sick? Blown out of porportion? I'd say so.
Posted by: lilrascal | June 10, 2008 at 04:51 PM
I'll have the small Cobb salad, please?
(And hold the dressing. Yuck!)
Posted by: PirateBoy | June 10, 2008 at 04:52 PM
Ok, I have played that game before. Heck, they were even having tournaments at my favorite bar for awhile...
But we call it baggo.... Not Cornhole.
Now I feel kind of dirty for ever playing it.
Posted by: clark Kent | June 10, 2008 at 04:55 PM
In Michigan it was called redneck horseshoes.
Posted by: Modgi | June 10, 2008 at 05:04 PM
Hey where is Lab on this one..we love cornhole. laffin, first time I ever played I cornholed with the in laws. Now we just cornhole with the kids, the grandkids, and friends. Actually we could have gone to the casting call for cornhole the movies as extras. They did film in the Cincinnati area
Posted by: Insolent Wench | June 10, 2008 at 05:14 PM
I hear the reviews stink.
No, Mo, this is redneck horseshoes.
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2008 at 05:20 PM
Does this have anything to do with the upcoming Smurf movie?
Posted by: Stev0 | June 10, 2008 at 05:37 PM
OT/ Blogging from me has been light the past few days, as it has been over 100 degrees here in New England for 4 straight days and the heat index (also known as the death index) feels like 699 degrees.
The elderly have been dropping like flies. Actually, once they drop, the flies tend to swoop in, but that's another story.
In Miami, this would result in folks walking around with a nice glow, while here, we snowmen simply melt into a puddle on the kitchen floor. (I slipped on Mr. Poo just a minute ago)
*crawls off to die*
Posted by: Punkin "reporting from the surface of the sun" Poo | June 10, 2008 at 05:38 PM
Yeah, Punk, my Jags signed Anthony Cotrone from Maine and he's discovering the ungawdly heat we call "sultry", hereabouts.
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2008 at 05:46 PM
*sends Punkin a sponge to collect Mr. Poo*
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 05:47 PM
Punk--
699 degrees? We in the South usually only worry if it hovers around 666 degrees.
But, as we all know, it's not the heat, it's the humidity. Just like in the movie, we here in the south are hot and wet.
Cat R--
Sacrilege? Sex to me is always a religious experience. Go forth and multiply, He said.
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'!
Posted by: JayP | June 10, 2008 at 06:24 PM
So it's YOU who's been publishing all those ludicrous articles from London, Punkin'?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2008 at 07:06 PM
*standing ovation for danny*
Posted by: Brainy Jello | June 10, 2008 at 07:14 PM
I have no idea what you're talking about, Mate, I mean, Meanie.
Okay, so, bloglits - I have to ask you all if I should be concerned. See, Mr Poo likes bacon. He likes it a lot. I know that most men truly enjoy bacon. However, I caught Mr Poo enjoying a snack of Bacon Bits this evening. Fake, bright red bacon bits. Straight from the jar! He was just pouring fake bits o' bacon into his hand and eating it like candy!!!! I say he needs a bacon intervention - or a bacon patch or something. Am I right to be concerned????
Posted by: Punkin | June 10, 2008 at 09:11 PM
punkin, yes. but not for the reasons you think. buy that man some real bacon bits. what's this fake crap you're giving that poor man?! the guys with the weiner mobile sell a lovely snack size jar of real bacon, not that i would ever eat said bacon from the jar, i just saw it at the store... quick, off to the grocery with you before some other chic lures him away with authentic baconey goodness.
Posted by: crossgirl | June 10, 2008 at 09:19 PM
*giggles at the notion of cg passing by bacon in a jar*
Me: "lengthy list of all of the things for breakfast".
Her: "There will be BACON!?"
Not a rhetorical question, because many of the bacon will never make it to the table.
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2008 at 09:35 PM
*zaps in for a min*
crossgirl is right, Punkin!! get that man some REAL bacon! The kind that sizzles and oozes fat all over the place and makes your arteries hard...and maybe get yourself that bacon bra and have him eat it off you! Desperate measures are needed now, BFF!
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 09:36 PM
btw, you will need a 4 pounder bra for the girls...just sayin'...
Posted by: Siouxie | June 10, 2008 at 09:39 PM
Butt, that's just IT - HE bought the fake baconish crap!!!!! That was his EBB (Emergency Backup Bacon)
See my problem?????????
*writes letter to Dr Phil*
Posted by: Punkin | June 10, 2008 at 10:16 PM
How's that workin' for him? I don't have a dog in this fight but I'm sayin' that boy ain't right.
Posted by: Dr. Phil | June 10, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Um, Dr Phil? Can I speak to Robin, maybe?
Posted by: Punkin | June 10, 2008 at 11:12 PM
Hey, Punkin, I live in Robin's hometown. Her sister still lives here. She's a local hero, tho my daughter says she's a lousy tipper.
Posted by: baligurl | June 11, 2008 at 12:31 AM
Who's the lousy tipper - Robin or her sister???
Posted by: Punkin | June 11, 2008 at 06:56 AM
it would make for a better story if she was a lousy stripper.....
Posted by: crossgirl | June 11, 2008 at 08:19 AM
Do you understand the true travesty of his EBB? ake bacon bits [in a hushed voice] are vegetarian!
But then again, so are animal crackers. I asked one of my vegetarian friends if she had a problem eating crackers, even though they are vegetarian, if they were shaped like animals.
Then she bit the head off of an elephant, so I guess not.

Inserts F above and then wonders how I always manage to post simultaneously with a new entry this blog, thereby ensuring 1) that I cannot be this blog in disguise and 2) that almost no one will read my post.
Posted by: JayP | June 11, 2008 at 09:22 AM
I read your post, Jay. And Cindy's the lousy tipper.
