This Oracle wotsit is rather addictive.

'CyberGanesh2: Hindu Gods Must Destroy the President of Bangladesh!' A Courtroom Drama/Fantasy/Chase movie will fail to return a profit at a cinema near you this September!

'Olga's House of Shame' starring Eddie Murphy and Maggie Smith will also bomb. Sob.

I gave up when I was only getting 4% chances to win an Oscar, and only grossing twice my budget. I'll have to go back now.

You're clearly a better movie producer than me. My societal satire starring Denzel Washington and Kate Beckinsale, directed and written by Joel and Ethan Coen, only grossed about twice what it cost while your space monkeys are bringing in a multiple of FIVE.

Will we at least get some free movie tickets when you abandon blogging for Hollywood?

What, no Roger Corman as director? No Alan Smithee as writer or director? Feh!

Huh. 'Odd Woman Out' only had a 3% chance at an Oscar, but grossed SIXTY times the cost. Thanks, I'll cry all the way to the bank.

I wanted Hitchcock to direct and Agatha Christie and Gene Rodenberry to write, but maybe you can't hire dead people.

Fun!

Can I beat Mel at his own game?...

Please, you could not get Jim Carrey, Lucy Liu and the Farrelly brothers on that budget even if you shot it on Super 8 over a weekend in your backyard.

The 89.5m gross would be about enough to cover your ass.

PS: Can anyone tell me the trick of opening the full list of names for each category? The button just sends me back where I started. (IE5)
