I feel like I should start getting research done for my senior thesis two years early, since I already know what it's going to be about. I could write half of it today based purely on my own knowledge, but I'd still have to source it all, and I certainly don't know enough about certain cultural and societal and sociological and racial trends of the past to write it. But I want to learn about all of it now, soooo... Perhaps over the summer I'll start. Time to read up on the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s. Then I get to have my thesis bound and put in the college library. Oooohhhhh, faaaancy.
Additionally, Avatar is going to steal the top spot right away from Titanic. It's already passed $1 billion in three weeks, and Titanic made $1.8 billion total. Not that that matters. I
really wish that grosses were adjusted for inflation on that list, because it looks entirely different when they are. Titanic is still top ten, buuuut outside of that.... Yeah. The exact movies that you'd think would be at the top are, the ones that have not and likely never will leave pop culture.
It will be funny when James Cameron has numbers one and two on the highest grossing films of all time list, though.
His ego will be through the roof if he's not careful. And I know he's not careful. He's the ruthless, cruel variety of perfectionist, not the kind that is self-effacing and gracious and calm. I wouldn't want to be around him. It will still be amusing, though, even if Avatar in particular is tired and old... I loved the 3D CGI, though. Oh my word. That movie was exactly what I thought it would be and why I went to see it: crappy and overdone plot, hilarious dialogue when it was supposed to be serious, and pretty pretty pretty.
