[lenidog]

I was bored and decided to see what the box office had done this week. Unfortunately for the studios it still sucks. Though I decided to hit the link and see what the all time box office hits were. What shocked me was that "The Passion of the Christ." was the 9 biggest money making movie of all time. Hell! I didn't know that. I mean I knew it made a ton but not that much. For anyone who is interested here is the top ten. Look at what it took to beat it.

1. It will be getting bumped down soon

After the next Star Wars film gets released.

2. You are right even if the movie sucks the Star Wars fanatics will

spend enough to get it to the top ten.

4. And considering it's the last one

They'll probably go see it 10 times instead of the customary 5.

6. I have no doubt of that I mean some of these people were lining up

weeks in advance of the advanced tickets sales. I am sorry there is no damn movie worth that and even George Lucas wont have changed the movie if you have to wait a week to watch it.

3. Jesus is probably thrilled

That his death has been so profitable.

5. I dount it but since Gibson put up his own money I bet he is thrilled

7. It doesn't mean shit.

The Bible is probably one of the best selling books of all time. That doesn't mean shit either.

8. I didn't say it meant shit

Well it does mean shit. It means it made a shitload of money and that is about it.
