So maybe I shouldn’t have retired from box office predicting, after all — my Iron Man 2 prediction proved right in the ballpark. Its estimated domestic haul was $133 million, so I was off by just $6 million.There were a lot of people who were predicting much bigger things, though. I notice a few were thinking this movie was going to threaten The Dark Knight’s opening weekend records, or at least beat Spider-Man 3. As a result, people are playing up the fact that there were no records set. The big headline everywhere is “No Records for Iron Man 2″, overlooking the fact that a $133 million haul is a mighty good performance that most movies would kill for. Like I said before, though, I think people are starting to tire of the superhero/fanboy genre at the movies, and I think that’s one reason why this movie didn’t set records.

Miley Cyrus new slutty video shows her in skin tight black bikini. Unfortunately the thick high waist belt pays a little too much homage to Lady Gaga. The music’s not so bad, although it does sound a lot like Britney Spears’ old stuff. Overall I think she’s a little too racy here given she’s just barely come out of her Hannah Montana shell. Call me old fashioned, but child stars should transition a lot better than this. They’re encouraging the same stupid ideology… “I’m grown up now. I can be a bad girl if I want to”
