Guys. Squirrel, by making a neutral observation about inflation, isn't attacking or devaluing Avatar, MUCH LESS YOU. I don't see why this is being taken so personally.

The point is (for those of you who don't understand inflation), while Gone With the Wind may not have grossed as much, the money it did gross was worth much, much more back then. Think 30 cent gas prices (this is a rough guess, I'm by no means a gas price historian).

Basically, he's just pointing out that ticket sales are the best metric for a movie's success, not un-adjusted gross. He's NOT attacking Avatar. Damn, he's just explaining this for the people who don't know or understand this--which judging from your angry, hyper-defensive posts, is a lot of you.

Who are you talking to? I've read through your post twice now, and I still don't know.

Look, Squirrel has been around on these forums for a long time now. He's been in a lot of debates, and even started debates completely out of the blue. He's one of our biggest debaters, so when I start a debate with facts and don't give the slightest hint of anger, why does it draw that sort of response? Why are YOU so overly defensive and angry? Seriously, who pissed in your cornflakes? You're being really annoying. And take into account that the average ticket price hasn't kept up with the average income in the United States (but apparently debating and bringing up facts means that my arguments are feeble and that I'm really angry).

Edit: I was gonna say: come on, I just apologised. But NM, just saw your next post.
