Case in point, he was more upset that he didn't win Oscar for Best Writing for Inglorious Basterds than Oscar for Best Directing.

Lincoln is amazing....it will blow by $150m. Another win for Spielberg.http://boxofficemojo...&id=lincoln.htm

$1b is looking good for Hobbit but not guaranteed. What major markets do we have left? China?

I recently watched Tarantino's Howard Stern interview and he said that when films would go overbudget he'd use his back-end money to finish the film. I'm assuming he has really good back-end deals. The guy is worth $90 mil according to Celebrity Networth.com and that's with none of his films being blockbusters in theaters.

Lincoln is not getting his due. :unsure:http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=lincoln.htm

Besides Disney live action and animated properties you have Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones...sheesh....they're the Exxon of the movie industry. I haven't even touched their Distribution deals.

The way these threads are going, there must be something in the water.

To each his own. *shrug*

You'll thank me later:http://www.nolanfans...hp?f=17&t=12255#2 and #3....shudder....yes!

First, not all female feet are created equally: I am but not extreme. Let's just say that before I start seriously dating someone I have to take a look at her feet. If they look like they came from Iowa, i.e. corn filled Hammer toes then.......no. A woman with nice shapely toes that aren't too curved (like claws) is a big turnon. Also, feet that don't give off an odor is another must. Fortunately, I haven't come across that too often.

You don't know what you're missing.

Excellent post.Besides presumably Jaws, what did joy did 1975 bring for young Mr. Gittes?

I will now try to catch every flick Leo is in simply because he is in it. He has been growing on me since Departed.

I know count Death Proof as one of Tarantino's films, and not a half-movie in the same category as Four Rooms. It's a full-length feature film, the extended version is 120+ minutes.

Matrix Reloaded (Superbowl spot)

I created this thread because looking back at the last 362 days, I am struck by how fantastic this year has been for moviegoers. In fact, I'm going to go so far to say that for me 2012 is the best movie year since I really started getting into movies. Check out this list! http://boxofficemojo...?yr=2012&p=.htm Avengers, TDKR, DU, TH1, Lincoln, Skyfall...the list of enjoyable/excellent films goes on and on. While none of 2012 movies cracked my top 5 of all time the cumulative effect tops any other year. PS: I say 'in living memory' because 1939 was just unfair. http://www.films101.com/y1939r.htm

Unfortunately DU doesn't seem like the movie that will play well to overseas audiences (62% of IG's gross came from OS). Hope I'm wrong.

It's almost overkill to keep making this observation..lol Nikki always overestimates, Rth no longer needs to prove himself. It should no longer be a surprise/novelty that he's accurate. His estimates should just be taken for truth. In short, Rth rocks.

$300m for TH1 is looking more and more likely.

Christmas 2013 Opening Days (for now): [*]Jack Ryan Nationwide [*]47 Ronin Nationwide 3D/2D [*]The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Nationwide Looks weak. Les Mis and DU are probably safe at #2 and #3 (unadjusted) until 2014 at the earliest.

Thank you CJohn for my 100th Like! I made mention of this in the Milestone page.

A year from now will there be an Anniversary thread?

Hobbit is now within $5mil of IAL (adj) and that made $291 mil.

LOL @ Chiefs comment. Good point.
