Eighty percent of the films in the top 50 highest grossing films of all-time were released after 2000, while no film prior to 1977 appears in the rankings because ticket-price inflation isn’t considered. To me, that’s not an accurate historical representation of which movies were most popular. So, after some digging, I found a chart based on data from boxofficemojo.com that ranks films using figures adjusted for ticket-price inflation, based on total box-office receipts. With Hollywood intent on the bottom line, it wouldn’t hurt major studios to consider remaking, modernizing, or “rebooting” these titles. Unless you’re a diehard film buff or are old enough to have actually seen these in the theater, chances are you’ve never heard of these cinematic sensations. See the list after the jump!

Yesterday, we ran across College Humor’s Natalie Portman Golden Globes video and could not stop laughing, despite having watched it 50 times. After we regained our composure, we trawled for other videos that get funnier with each repeated view. Go ahead, we dare you not to laugh at this list of laughing videos.

I could rant on about the Golden Globes (or lack thereof), but when it comes down to it, you just want to know who won, right? Right.
On behalf of the winners, I would like to thank God/agents/producers and you at home!
Actors and actresses already get too much exposure and credit for a job well done – bring on a WGA-free Oscars, I say.

We recently chimed in with our thoughts on the truncated Golden Globes, stating that the awards show is barely relevant to even the most hardcore pop-culture follower. The Academy Awards, on the other hand, are a far larger affair.
With the Golden Globes being scaled down to a high-society press conference, is the axe looming over the Oscars?

With the writer’s strike still going strong, the WGA has denied invitations to prepare material for the Golden Globes on January 13 and the Oscars in February. If both events didn’t seem crappy enough last time, they should be craptacular this time around.
(See what happens when you don’t get pros to make jokes for you?)
