Weekend at Bernie's: a film about two guys who pretend that their dead boss is alive in order to take advantage of the sweet party and sexy babes that are concurrently going down at their boss's beach house. A work of pure fiction, or a stunning portrayal of reality over two decades before it happened?
Jeffrey Jarrett died last month. […] Two of his friends, Robert Young and Mark Rubinson, allegedly loaded his body into a car, hit a bar in Denver then another one in Aurora, before finally taking Jarrett, 43, home.
Rubinson, 25, and Young, 43, then ended their night at Shotgun Willie’s in Glendale, but without Jarrett. They then allegedly took $400 out of Jarrett’s account. (CBS Denver)
It's true when they say that life imitates art. I can't wait for the sequel when Jeffrey Jarrett's body is cursed by a voodoo sorceress and starts walking toward buried treasure whenever there's music playing.
Note: I know that I'm not the first person to connect this story to Weekend at Bernie's, but I can say with certainty that I'm the first person who's bothered to photoshop the heads of the perpetrators onto a promotional image for the film.

Is it a coincidence that I just watched Weekend at Bernie's 2 late last night? Then again, I seem to watch that one every other week.

Eek
If there's one thing that new age hippies/morons have taught me it's that there's no such thing as coincidences.
