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.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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.

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.
