how are you suppose to know how much money a fictional character has???  Do they ask the authors/creators...or do they just guess?

Seriously?  Someone actually made a list?

I'd love to see what criteria this is based on, lol.

Re: Twilight's Vampire Carlisle Cullen Tops Forbes Richest Fictional Characters List

Hmmm, OK. two thoughts:

 

1.) SERIOUSLY??  Who the hell got paid to make this list?  And how do I get a paying job to make crap like that up for Forbes?

 

And

 

2.) No way is Carlisle Cullen richer than Tony Stark.  Come on now!

I can't get the Gillgan's Island theme song out of my head either...speaking of that, can you believe that someone is actually going to remake Gilligan's Island? Ugh....

Really!  It will end up being a mess.  I loved that show as a kid.  The reruns were on when I got home from school.

 

Ducktales ooooh oooh...ugh!

They have been talking about a redo, but the original cast has trash talked it back ever time it comes up. I think they are waiting for more of them to die first, only 2 of them left now.

I remember a few years back when TBS came up with arguably THE WORST TV IDEA EVER – to make Gilligan's Island into a reality show. Remember The Real Gilligan's Island? When I saw the commercial for this show for the first time – which was essentially softcore porn – I remember thinking, "this is a new all-time low..."
