Avatar Now Number 1…

And so it comes to pass that the only person capable of knocking James Cameron’s Titanic off its perch as the Number 1 film of all time, is James Cameron. Avatar has now, officially, become the highest grossing film of all time. In 1/10th the time it took Titanic.

Amazing.

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
