Caption This: Win Uwe Boll’s Far Cry on DVD!
I'd love to go if re-release plans were realized.
Mr. Hunter you are thinking of Broke Back Mountain with Heath Ledger you obviously already knew that or else you would never had made that statement
It Would Be lovely if the Dark Knight picked the Oscars clean but lets face it the pannel for the accademy wards are dominately senior citicens and middle aged people who probably dont dig the films of comic book and fantacy
While there's something to be said about the notion that a billion dollars is only a billion dollars when it's actually a billion dollars, using a non-adjusted metric only means that what was 15 years ago an unattainable box office figure and is now an astoundingly high box office figure is going to be in 10 years a high, but regularly achieved box office figure and in 30 years a fairly normal box office figure for a high-budget film.
A billion dollars simply doesn't buy as much now as it did when Gone With The Wind reached that figure in yesterday's dollars. Now it's just a footnote in a stimulus package, the annual revenue of a company that hasn't come close to making it onto Fortune's list, and less than the net worth of any of the 500 richest people in the world.
