One and a half stars in the Trib today No, and I don't think it'll make a lot of money either because it seemed to only begin marketing itself a few weeks ago. Additionally, I don't even think they know who they should be marketing the movie to. McBride is still a nobody in the comedy world, and Anna Friel is even less popular. I'm watching ESPN several days ago and was surprised to see a preview for an upcoming Man vs. Wild co-staring Will Ferrel. I realized then they're marketing the show to idiots. The people who tune into Bear Grylls' "adventures" and wonder to themself whether Ferrel can possibly survive the wild! Then, because Ferrel told them too, they'll see the movie. They've already seen every other one, so why not keep the trend going? Edited June 5, 2009 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, these M vs W episodes are drawing ratings through the charts. http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/06/will-ferrel...rd-ratings.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I actually still like Will Ferrell, its Bear Grylls that I cannot stand at all. I could care less how many stars a comedy like that gets, they never get good ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 They're putting in a Sonic a couple blocks away from me. Construction is supposed to start any day now. I've been seeing their commercials for years now yet have never even seen one so this should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crazy when it first opened. For like the first two weeks there was a constant line and wait times for like 45 to an hour. I don't know what compelled people to wait in that long for average food. Maybe it was all that advertising and no chance to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Sonic's food, I 100% agree with BS's comment - it's subpar - and that's probably being generous. However, for some reason, I am seriously addicted to their cherry coke's. They have a really good fizzy coke mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree most of the rest of their non-ice cream food is bleh, but I have a soft spot (and a fat ass) for their Coney dogs. Sometimes you're in a drive-in mood, and Sonic is pretty much the only one still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the food is "subpar" at all. I usually get mozzarella sticks, a grilled cheese sandwhich, sometimes fries, and a Sonic Blast (think Blizzard from DQ). Pretty solid meal. Their drinks and desserts are definitely what makes that place though. Edited June 5, 2009 by dasox24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
