'Marley & Me' dominates weekend box office

1/5/2009

"...as human beings we are capable of making sense of situations based on the thinnest slice of experience."

Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point.



NOT A DOG'S LIFE: This weekend's blockbuster was heart-tugger Marley & Me, which raked in

$24 million with its story about a loveable Lab who wins over a family and, obviously movie goers. (RL)

\FAR OUT: Remember the hilarity of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" comics? Some people remember a little too well and have a little too much time on their hands. We have the re-enactment pictures to prove it. (RL)

SHAMELESS PANDERING: Let's see, a single dad who lives in Seattle. Check. Give him a 3-year-old son. Check. Now try and set him up with true love. Yes, it's Sleepless in Seattle, only the folks at The Bachelor TV show are

making it work for them. Yes, a whole slew of new realitiy shows is ready to go. (RL)
