I am pretty sure that Streisand was one of the stars of the top-grossing comedy of 2004.

I would be willing to bet you really good money that more people know who she is than know who Heath Ledger is.

Is Babs enormous among any group of people not getting ready to collect a social security check?
Been to the Castro or Chelsea lately?

Jams remarking his GF loved it -- the b.o. success will depend on straight women.
Indiana would have had a much better point with a couple of current, legitimate royalty
But see, you get his POINT. Screw the example.
(Dick Tracy had several dozen times the Fun Quotient of every 'serious' comic-book adaptation since, and a Screaming Al Pacino that fit, for once...)
What if Brokeback had been makeable in 1980? Jeff Bridges and Dennis Quaid... mmmm...
Ally, I promise to be rational about 'Spielberg sucks' if I can point out the massive silliness of The Thomas Crown Affair, one hot chess match aside. ;)

Veering dangerously off topic but Dick Tracy has a terrible rap. The worst part about it is actually probably Warren Beatty but even he is ok. I haven't seen it in quite a while though. Both Madonna and Al Pacino were actually great choices, despite their obvious flaws in like virtually every other movie thrown at them. Even Bullworth wasn't really horrible! It is a little unfair, Warren Beatty's drop off had less to do with the actual quality of his work vis a vis others and more to do with Warren Beatty as a person.

Armond White doesn't always 'review the reviews.' He critiques the way 'good' films are ID'd and positioned in the culture by the marketing-media complex, which inevitably requires mentioning his peers sometimes. Esp when it's the most visible movie critic in the nation idiotically dismissing War of the Worlds on the grounds that 'tripods are illogical.' Or those who hail a filmmaker who makes one interesting movie (Christopher Nolan) as a visionary, which enables him to make bilious mega-budget juvenilia like -- you know.
