It was incredible- yeah! Bought it for Ian when it came out just before Christmas- saw it twice in the theatre. Very good movie-

Whatever. If I see a thread title and choose to click on it and type something in the comment box, that's fine. You can whine and complain about it all you like, but this is still just a message board, and that's the point. Maybe you should take it a little less seriously and go ahead and post in those threads if you have thoughts about the films. Wouldn't hurt anybody if you did.

Like I said, it's just a message board. This isn't a congressional committee meeting where everything needs to be serious and poignant.

I tend to not hold strong opinions about things I don't know much about.

It would be pointless for me to walk into a thread about a movie I have no interest in seeing and proclaim that I have no interest in seeing it because it's going to be [insert complaint here] and even though other people tell me that [insert complaint here] isn't actually what the movie is about I still go on and on about it then whine that I'm just posting my thoughts on a message board and it's not Congress.

And now I'm done with you. Thanks for playing!

The 3D was cool, I think it made it feel more immersive (on the IMAX screen) but it didn't make the movie. I also won't be going back to the theater and I doubt I'll buy it. Very few movies will I see twice in a theater. I suppose that's why I only own 24 DVDs too.

I think we should all just accept that Jazzman is committed to not liking Avatar for reasons A, B, and C, and just move on with it.

We should have a District 9 thread... (because I rarely open up the Miscellaneous Movie Musings Postings Daydreams Etc thread... mostly because I need to read back too far to find out if someone's talked about a movie or not... and maybe everyone's talked about it, but I'll never know...).

I luvved that movie.

Do you think Lucas has ANY inkling of what a self parody he's become, or is he truly that clueless?

I think he went nuts somewhere between Empire and the song "Lapti Nek" in Jedi.

In addition to the 3D, I wonder what else he will feel compelled to tinker with. (Of course, he could decide to spend half a billion dollars and turn phantom Menace into a good movie - I guess that means remaking it completely, though.)

Also, in what way did Avatar change the way audiences watch movies? Really! In what way! I demand to know. I sat in a theater seat, wore cheap plastic glasses and was completely entertained by a remarkably conventional narrative. What was new about that?

[Jazzman]

I sense a great disturbance in the force...

Dammit Alex! Why do you have to ruin everything?!
