A nitpick

[texaslawchick]

Over and over again last night, I kept on hearing the same words, "most successful movie at the box office of all time."

You got to be fucking kidding me.

The most successful movie at the box office of all time was released in 1939. And it's going to take a hell of a flick to knock it off it's pedestal

I would much rather see movie "success" in terms of tickets sold rather than dollar amount, especially in the case of avatar as there are significant surcharges attached to both 3-D and IMAX.

*nodnod* I was just wondering how the money numbers would be converted to tickets sold numbers, because that would be fascinating.

Also, i have much glee that Star Wars is #2...

You should see The Graduate. It's awesome and you'd love it. The dvd with the director's discussion is really cool.

that wasn't from anonymous, btw. It was from me... Bn'B.

I love you for doing this. I hate it when people don't take inflation into account. Like antiques shows where they take the price paid 60 years ago and are amazed at how much more it is worth now. Duh.
