Wow, looking back at later blogs I am still blown away by how much money The Dark Knight has made. I thought 120 mil opening weekend was a lot! lol. Now the question everyone is asking is will it pass Titanic for highest grossing movie of all time. The Dark Knight still has a long way to go, but I think it could happen. I've already seen it twice and am planing on seeing it again. I have heard hardly any bad reviews of the movie and it leaves you wanting more. This is the perfect combination for a truly great film!
So do you think it will beat Titanic making over $600 mil when it is all said and done?

AFI's top 100 movies
When I saw the list of AFI's top 100 movies I started laughing profusely. I thought it was a joke. Citizen Kane #1? Are you kidding me? Here is a link to check out the list yourself- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years..._100_Movies_(10th_Anniversary_Edition)
Tell me what your opinion of the list is. I know that they need to preserve the classic movies and look at it in its time period, but most of these movies are borderline unwatchable. I specifically rented Citizen Kane because of this list and I fell asleep- literally! Let me ask this- how can a silent film be in the top 10?!? Do they not know that it is 2008.
I would like to know what everyone thinks are the top 10 movies of all time. Not your favorites, but the 10 best of all time. Here's mine-
1. The Godfather
2. Star Wars
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. Casablanca
5. Schindler's List
6. Gone With the Wind
7. Lawrence of Arabia
8. 12 Angry Men
9. The Godfather Part 2
10. Titanic

Best TV Show
The question will always persist- what is the best show on tv? Everyone has their own opinion and thought about what's the best. The Pop Culture Guru is here to tell you let you know the truth!!! The best show on TV is Lost. I mean come on what else do you want from a TV show. Its exciting, funny, and spooky all in one episode. It's the kind of show that you wake up Thursday morning and say "yeh Lost is on today". Of course many do not agree with me.
What is your favorite TV show?

2008 World Series
Who will play in the 2008 World Series? Tough question this early in the year, but the Pop Culture Guru is here to tell you and listen to what you think. Out of the American League I think the team with the best shot at making it to the World Series in the Boston Red Sox. The Devil Rays have had a nice run, but come September they will fade. I don't see any serious contenders out West and in the Central the White Sox and Tigers I feel can make things happen in the playoffs. They have both been there before. Boston, though, has the least holes and once they get Big Papi back will be unstoppable.
My pick to come out of the AL- Boston Red Sox over Chicago White Sox
The National League is a whole different mountain all together. There are several teams that could find themselves playing in the World Series. Heck, look at the Colorado Rockies last year, no one picked them to be there in the end. The top 5 in the NL are the Cubs, Brewers, Phillies, Mets, and Dodgers. Again, I highly doubt that a team from the West will be win it, but Joe Torre's playoff experience has some value. Al much as I hate to say it, I still don't have faith in the Chicago Cubs. I mean come on- 100 years? With the Brewers picking up C.C. (chocolate cake) Sabathia I'm not even sure the Cubs will win their own division. That being said, the two-headed monster of C.C. and Sheets will tough to beat come playoff time.
My pick to come out of the AL- Milwauke Brewers
As always I want to hear what you guys think. Sox v. Brewers? Who knows, it could end up being Devil Rays v. Diamondbacks (wouldn't that be great). Nah that wont happen!!! haha

The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is obviously the most anticipated movie of the summer. I know there was Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Sex and the City, etc but nothing will compare to The Dark Knight. I'm predicting it will break some records on how much it earns the opening weekend. I mean everyone is going to see it for several reasons- looks awesome, Heath Ledgers last performance, Batman fans. Dare I say $120 million opening weekend? I'm going that far. Iron Man and Indiana Jones both made over $100 million its first weekend, so why not.
I want to hear your opinion. How much will it make opening weekend?
