I am so sick of everyone saying that AVATAR is the greatest movie of all time or that it is the most successful movie of all time, based solely on Gross money made.
Yes... Avatar has broken the one Billion dollar boundary... but I say its mostly because tickets cost $11.50 a pop now. $16.60 if you go to the IMAX 3D showing.
I have always been a huge Star Wars fan and to hear people say that the shit-eating Avatar movie is "more popular than Star Wars ever was" is a God-Damned Blasphemy!
Star Wars... as well as many other movies have and will stand the test of time when it comes to TICKET SALES!... actual asses in seats... not just how much fucking money a movie made.
