I know, but it was a little depressing that this movie has made $45 million. Probably means there will be more and more of 'em. I may never see a movie again.

I hardly ever go see them now. So much for really trying to appeal to "The Passion of the Christ" crowd.

Another thing - I doubt if the Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB) statistics I posted earlier are pro-rated for rising ticket prices. As you go down the list of all-time top grossing flicks, the quality gets worse and the films are more recent. Some films like Gone with the Wind from 1937 are still on the list, when ticket prices were 25 cents, as compared to today's average $7.50. So unless the scores are weighted for inflation, they are false. Even so, BM didn't get near the top 350 mark, by half.
