A very restrictive way to look at movie making. |

Now if they can figure out a way to actually use CGI while people are talking they may eventually need a script. In eye candy terms though this one turned out to be the Extreme Sour Atomic Warhead. |

It's just a movie. ;-D |

I think they only list production budgets on that site. I know if you click on the complete budget list it has both Pirates sequels as 150 million each. But I heard that both were closer to 250 million once marketing came into effect. |

I actually like them, well V for Vendetta and the first Matrix at least. But I watched the movie and feel like it was the biggest waste of my time ever...and this coming from a guy who paid to watch Gigli....
pathetic movie, and it deserves what it is getting...BTW, Speed Racer barely made over a million it's first Monday, it is crashing and burning hard.... |
