Hey, McKay managed to make a very funny film about a very serious financial disaster. Who knows, he might just have the perfect combination of comedic and dramatic sensibilities to make an informative but entertaining film about Syria.

Yeah this is unbelievable. Crazy enough that it has me posting about boxoffice again which is very irregular for me. Haha I just posted on Facebook about it even though I'm 100% sure that nobody I know in real life gives a damn about this film's OW. The most astonishing for me though is still the DH II midnights, probably because I was there to witness it. It was like a festival of fandom, and hands down the best audience I've ever watched a movie with. And then the numbers.... I'm actually curious; has there ever been a more concentrated span of business for any film in history or is that it?

Hahah I've always wondered, but I'm honestly not around enough to know whether you're kidding. I hope you're serious though.

You know, I'm obviously not a regular poster but I'm a long term lurker. I would stilllll like to congratulate Kal on his insane success predicting - against EVERYBODY'S expectations - that Avatar was going to light the biggest fire the box office has ever seen. Well played, Kal bud. (Gosht that guy was such a trip. I wonder if he's still engaging in ferocious box office flame wars somewhere out there in the wider web.)

I'm a hugeee fan of both Moebius and Chris Foss.... incredibly excited to see this doc. $179M/450M But seriously, I will probably cry tears of joy at least once during this.

Says you. Taste is subjective. Anyway, Scott Pilgrim is everything I look for in a comedy. Witty, playful, uniquely shot and edited, heartfelt. It's fine if it's not your taste, but that doesn't really make it shitty.

Ooo, I wanna play. 1. Scott Pilgrim 2. Avengers 3. Iron Man 4. Men in Black 5. TDK 6. Nausicaa 7. American Splendor 8. Sin City 9. Ghost World 10. Oblivion - This film is so flawed, but the production design is just beautiful. I like all the Marvel stuff though, and it feels weird not having one of Rami's Spidey films. Also, I'm totally ashamed to say I haven't seen Oldboy and Akira. Need to get on that. And I haven't watched Blue is the Warmest Colour yet.

Did anyone else catch that the third yearbook picture they show of Maeby in episode 12?? Thought the folks here would appreciate that.

Haha I hardly ever post on these forums, but I've been casually reading since the DMC / Superman Returns summer on BoM. Even as a casual reader I remember Kal-El, he was craaazy but I have to admit it was entertaining. Man, Avatar would have been his swan song... his insane predictions were actually pretty close to what ended up happening.

Spot on, except I'd call the Avengers less of a caricature and more of a culmination.The other thing that I think a lot of people will remember fondly, is one of the most flawless stretches of filmmaking in history from Pixar.If you go beyond filmmaking though, the defining cultural phenomenon of the 2000s is undoubtedly Harry Potter.

This says it all in my opinion. Dunst has certainly had longevity in Hollywood, but she's never been the huge star that Emma Stone is becoming.At the same time, you can't really judge a celebrity's star factor by box office alone... by that measure someone like Orlando Bloom would probably look like one of the biggest stars of all time simply because he was part of two mega-trilogies... but it's not like he carried either of them.

I can't imagine a person in the world who would dispute this. It's absolutely crazy to think about what he's done in his career.

No apparently Chris Hemsworth has been recast in both roles.

Just heard news that George Lucas is coming out of retirement for the long awaited Star Wars/Indiana Jones crossover.

And pretty much ten years on the nose since SM1.
