...coffin, consider that the first film in the franchise, made for just $1.2 million back in 2004, earned $103.1 million worldwide; and that the total gross for the first five films is a whopping $669 million on a still stingy $35 million cumulative budget. That's the kind of return on investment that encourages a studio to keep grinding 'em out.

I was in the eighth grade when the first Tennessee soldier was killed in Vietnam in 1962, and 10 years later I was fortunate to return from service with the 1st Air Cavalry Division in Vietnam. Let's hope the decision makers review Ferguson's work while examining the war in Afghanistan...
