Will Ferrell skates to first place...
Even though the only gay character in "Blades of Glory" is a crazy stalker, I still enjoyed this goofy flick. So, it was no surprise to see that "Blades," which has Will Ferrell and Jon Heder playing-skating rivals who become the sport's first men's pair, debut as the No. 1 movie with $33 million in ticket sales.
Ferrell scored the second-best opening of his career, behind last summer's "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which took in $47 million in its first weekend.
And "Talladega" had a more prominent gay character who was a racing champion (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) instead of a stalker even if that stalker had my favorite line in the movie when he says to Heder: "I want to cut your skin off and wear it to my birthday party!" And my favorite scene? Someone's head falls off...that's all I'm saying.
