...King, do the two genres intersect. For 2006, for example, the five live-action movies that grossed more than $200 million at the domestic box office - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Da Vinci Code, Night at the Museum and Superman Returns - received not a single major nomination among them. (Cars, the top-grossing cartoon, won a nod in the animated feature grotto.) Until the Academy creates a category called Best Picture a Whole Lot of People Paid to See, the SPFX epics and crowd-pleasing comedies will have to be content...
...doesn't take much to see why. This summer I could have paid 10 bucks to watch Superman Returns for three hours. Or I could have paid 15 bucks to be Superman whenever I wanted. It isn't just the thrill of playing dress-up either; Superman Returns is static, always saddled with the same ending. But WoW, like the real world, changes with every choice I make.

X-Men: The Last Stand…Because who wouldn’t wanna watch an acrobatic, blue-haired Frasier fight Ian McKellen? 5. Click…Because we were all secretly hoping Billy Madison...
...story-telling craft and, for the most part, the star-making business. The industry had nowhere to go but backward: into the prehistory of its most popular characters. So in hope of recycling old heroes for a teen audience, it explored the early years in the legends of Superman, Batman, James Bond and Bugs Bunny, Indiana Jones and Darth Vader. So why, for love of commerce or love of his creation, shouldn't Harris examine Hannibal in his pupal or pubertal stage...
