At the Movies...

Well, I guess I have to go see SlumDog Millionaire now.

I wonder what it says about the American viewing public that SlumDog Millionaire, which was just acknowledged as the best thing to come out this year, has made 98 million since coming out 15 weeks ago. At the same time, Paul Blart: Mall Cop has made $121 million in 5 weeks and Madea Goes to Jail had a $41 million opening weekend. I'm not sure if that speaks to a bigger disconnect between the film studios and the Academy or between the Academy and the American viewing public.

Eh, whatever... 164 days until G.I. Joe comes out.
