And yet, no Serenity noms. sigh.
I don't think nominations have anything to do with domestic gross.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

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

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.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
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 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.

Compassionately intolerant
I rented the audiobook of Shatner's Star Trek Memories and I have to say, I was riveted. Okay, yeah, ego bigger than the great outdoors...no news...but the stories were really interesting. While I don't think I'd want to shake his hand, he's done good in terms of building a career out of being a joke. With at least a little dignity.
I remember seeing him do a dramatic reading on the Merv Griffin show. Never thought I'd grow up to respect him.
