Don't forget product placement and merchandise sales; those can pretty significantly offset the cost of making a movie. Ticket sales are becoming a smaller and smaller piece of the pie over time.

The original trilogy had mediocre acting but had one-liners that were on par with Evil Dead. I think that's what made it a cult classic. None of the other movies will be remembered for their one-liners, but from what I can tell that&#

I'm inclined to agree. I am more impressed by an engine that plays well in limited hardware than one that plays well on faster/more expensive hardware. This is one of the reasons Core War was so intriguing; all the programs battl

Wouldn't this logic only apply if the distribution is symmetric? We know it can't be symmetric, because there is a lower bound to how cold it can get, but no upper bound to how hot it can get; the question then whether the asymme

Wow, that's quite an experience! I wonder what conditions you must have had for the oil to not already be on fire / smoking, but hot enough that a disturbance caused immediate combustion.
