A favor, please

I would ask this of movie studio publicists and journalists alike.

For the love of God and your own body, Titanic is not the highest grossing film of all time, at least in any way that matters. Sure, domestically it made a crapload, but that's in unadjusted dollars. And unadjusted dollars don't mean squat.

Gone With the Wind is the best-selling domestic release of all time, okay? And the number one comedy of all time, for the record, is The Graduate. I'm not counting Disney films in this or even The Sting, though it had some serious chuckle power.

Can you get it through your thick skulls? Please? Sign up for Box Office Mojo if that helps.

Thanks. That is all.

Widge with a conundrum

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
