Were you one of those that watched the Oscars? I watched the first hour or so and actually enjoyed it. Apparently though the viewership was way down. They’ve got to shorten that thing!

World Almanac’s Blog had a great movie related entry today! The entry is entitled, ‘A Visual History of Box Office Receipts‘, and it introduced an interactive graphic from the New York Times . The graphic is called, ‘The Ebb and Flow of Movies: Box Office Receipts 1986-2007‘ and is fascinating! Hover over the curves to see various movies. Click on a balloon for more information and/or a review of the movie. Be sure to read the interpretation information on the right. Have fun!

Prefer to check out some books on Movies rather than a Website.   Satisfy your longing here…
