Ah! Thanks! I shall check it forthwith.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I don't have them transcribed, but I have .mp3s of both I can send you.

So it's been pointed out that the average domestic gross of the Best Picture films this year at the time of their nomination is only $37.1 million.
And yet, no Serenity noms. sigh.
And now that I've made a topical comment, I must also confess my undying love for JZ's uncle...I don't have anyone cool like that related to me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't think nominations have anything to do with domestic gross.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder (but am too lazy to check) what their costs were. I mean, are these grosses truly on a level with Serenity?
Do you keep a movie in the theatre longer because the critics like it, even if it's not making its money back?
As for noms--I really liked the film, but I'm not sure, outside of technical categories (and that's just a vague proposal) it could be nominated.

Oh, no. That wasn't my point. I actually think "domestic gross" and "art" are generally almost diametrically opposed. Still, if a film can not be wildly popular and be considered for an Oscar....there's a certain film I'm thinking of. Not that I expected anything, anyway.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I remember hearing an estimate of about 45 mil.

I wonder (but am too lazy to check) what their costs were.
I know that Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck and Capote all cost around $7M, give or take. Brokeback was in the 15 range. Munich and Syriana cost boatloads more.
