Okay, so, first off, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, lands the top place at the box office. This may or may not have been a result of legions of thirteen-year-olds buying Paul Blart tix so they could sneak into the R-rated Notorious, but Fox cable doesn’t seem to care. They are all about underestimating the intelligence of our nation, and they’ve green-lit a new series about — what else? — a mall cop.
The show is called Walorsky, and it “follows the exploits of an ex-cop who now patrols a shopping mall in Buffalo, N.Y. He’s forced to start caring about his job — and not just Buffalo sports — when he’s partnered with a rookie.” Variety points out that Fox picked up the show before the success of Blart this weekend, but still. Mall cops are totally the new shoe salesmen.
Mall cops are totally the new perfume girls.
I vote for Kevin James to star in it.
I blame the economy. People need mind-numbing entertainment when times are hard.
Ugh, I live in Buffalo NY and we are suffering enough, we don’t need this horrible show. We have one huge mall and a few crappy ones. I have never walked into one and thought “Oh, there should be a TV show about this place and its wonderful weirdo security people!”
how is this movie getting so much attention. The reviews are always bad, and ratings are always low. Yet this movie is at the top of the list? Ay yi yi.
It’s a fluff movie in the same way people like fluff music. I thought Step Brothers was hilarious and I don’t hate all Britney Spears songs. Not everything has to be art.
I totally agree, fun will always win with me. I don’t go to the movies to cry.
Kevin fills the mindless happy clutzy chub guy void Chris Farley provided when he died.. and he does it pretty well. YES, he can be a leading man and comic.
Underestimating the intelligence of a nation. Good one. Have you checked out ‘Tool Academy’? And I thought the nation was stupid for the fact that ‘The Girls Next Door’ make it to season 2. Some people actually believe that Holly was Hef’s girlfriend. Can we sterilize them? Anyone who bought into that show that an 82 yr. old man is bopping these 20-somethings needs to be sterilized.
I just want to say that I cannot wait to see this movie because it was filmed in my mall. And we saw all the movie stuff in July and the Christmas tree and everything and it was so exciting. So even though it is bound to be absolute SHITE, I’m excited. Because it’s my mall.
