And its great how you've tried to divert this
conversation to a debate about Star Wars.

I'm talking about something very fundamental:

Is box office gross a proper measure of the
goodness of a film? And if it isn't, is it
fair to use in a comparison between TDK and Ironman?

We begin by asking you a simple question:

"Is TDK >>>> Titanic?"

The answer to that will end this conversation.

>it's two completely different genres of film making. but i
>GUESS you think that IRONMAN is better than both, aren't you??
>since you're the one trynig so hard to make some point,
>whutever the fuck that point is...

No, why can't you answer the question?

Because they are different films?

LOL.

I mean, there are profound differences between Ironman
and Batman as well:

TDK was a SEQUEL to an already successful movie, which
is the SECOND TAKE on a character who is, alongside
Superman, the most popular superhero in America.

Ironman was a part ONE with little
of the hype that accompanies a sequel.
When you throw in the fact that Ironman
is nowhere near as popular a superhero, overall, as
Batman, than I can make the same argument that their
box office grosses shouldn't be compared either.


So again:

"Is Dark Knight>>>>>Titanic?"

Answer the question

With matinee tickets coming in at less than $1.00 most
places.

Wrong.

Not sure how you can ignore the ticket prices argument
here.

>have done that

Still not sure how you can ignore the ticket prices
argument here.
