    I think the commenter was referring to this paragraph.

    According to Dergarabedian, only about 50 films in history, unadjusted for inflation, have hit the billion-dollar mark.

    But if you are only talking about the female director thing, then yeah I agree, that’s nice.

    I still don’t understand any of your other comments though. But let’s leave it at that.

      Christ it’s not that hard to understand. Everytime a woman achieves something in public, a whole bunch of people have to figure out SOME way to say it’s not that impressive.

      Here, let me help: “No way! That’s cool”

      AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. For fuck’s sake.

        I was not referring to that. I was thinking about your weird ramblings about inflation.
