As a point of reference, the #100 movie of all time on that list is Shrek 3 at $337mm, a number Star Trek will not likely get anywhere near.

I was about to post asking if the figures were inflation-adjusted, and you not only answered it (nope), but cited it as well!

Graeme, you say non-inflation adjusted then you immediately compare it to a 15 year-old movie.
As said above, completely meaningless.

Not really. Been looking for years and the used copies are about the price of this new hardback edition...

Yeah, I said it. Bring it on. Late '80s in the house.
(Also glad Howard Chaykin gets a mention once in a while. He's a little underrated IMO.)

ST is brilliant.
I love Chaykin, but I recently read BITE CLUB. Boy, was that ripe.

Miracleman shows up in a quick search of the Pirate Bay. Stealing is bad and all, but if its out of print never to return then that's a special instance. There's no ethical reason to pay such high after market prices when the author won't see a dime of it.

Uh, I second that advice, I have most of the issues themselves but that torrent contains some really rare shit.
I don't think it's illegal to torrent something which isn't commercically available.

It is, and some companies (if they find out) will still go after you. This was a big issue that got raised in regards to "abandonware", which is the consumer-side term for PC games that are no longer commercially available, and are a bitch and a half to track down on the secondary market (assuming you can afford what you do find). Sites popped up that dealt _exclusively_ in software that was no longer on the market (like old Sierra and Lucasarts games that weren't available in collected sets), and they still had C&D orders dropped on them.

Did 'Watchmen' not take place in an alternate 1985? 24 years ago? Dopey.

Which pretty much means it was never a "near future" setting, just an alternate present-day one. At the time of release.
