I plan to go see it this week, had to much on my social calendar this weekend to go see it...I was at Talladega last fall while they filmed some of the movie, and I might even be in the movie, they brought a film crew up into the stands and did crowd shots (I was about 10 rows away) I took a few photos that weekend and got some of the filming too

 

Nice pictures. Looks like you and I were at 'dega at the same time a couple of times. I have some of the same pictures you have, especially the OCC pics.

Looks like you and I also share another interest..... The Red Sox!!! I was born and raised in New Hampshire as a Red Sox fan, so that's a given. My 2nd cousin used to own what is now NHIS, so that's another given that I'm a fan of stock cars.

Talladega Nights takes #1 at the Box Office: Will Ferrell's NASCAR spoof "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" enjoyed life in the fast lane with a No. 1 finish in the weekend box office race, taking in $47 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. "It's one of those movies - pardon the pun - firing on all cylinders. When you have Will Ferrell and NASCAR, you just know you are going to have a crowd pleaser. But this was way beyond expectations," said Rory Bruer, president of distribution for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Also entering the box office race with a surprising debut was the animated movie "Barnyard: The Original Party Animals," placing second with $16 million. Overall, box office revenue for the top dozen films was up 17 percent over the same week last year, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc., which tracks box office performance. As for "Talladega Nights," he said: "It's reinvigorated the box office. Everybody loves Will Ferrell. You know you are going to have a good time and NASCAR is an utterly American sport." Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" earned another $11 million to place third with attendance dropping 46 percent over the previous week. "Pirates" has earned $380 million after five weeks in North America theaters.

 

Went to see this earlier tonight and it was pretty funny. Not fall off your chair funny...but I enjoyed it. Definitely worth what I paid to see it.
