After a slow start to summer blockbuster season, Bad Boys: Ride or Die slapped some life back into theaters this weekend. The latest installment of the long-running Sony franchise exceeded expectations by opening to $56 million domestically and nearly doubling that figure at the international box office. All of which also added an impressive stat to Will Smith’s film career — he’s now led movies to the top spot at the box office in four different decades.
Meanwhile, Julia Louis-Dreyfus responded to claims from her former co-star Jerry Seinfeld that political correctness is “ruining” comedy. In a new profile with The New York Times, the Veep star referred to that kind of thinking as a “red flag,” and went on to explain that having “an antenna about sensitivities” doesn’t mean “all comedy goes out the window.” More largely, Louis-Dreyfus commended tolerance in comedy and shifted the focus to what she believes is the real enemy to the “creative voice” in comedy: the “consolidation of money and power” in Hollywood.
Louis-Dreyfus and a couple of Bad Boys aren’t the only things starting the week with a jolt — we’ve got some hilarious new tweets too. Today’s funniest ones include those about a weekly 9/11, a romantic night in and that guy Derek.
