I’ve seen it three (yes that is 3) times in the theater.....and I took most of my kids and grandkids.....I’ll also buy the DVD

If it was such a bad movie.....why is it enjoying the numbers it’s seeing????

There are folks out there that would bitch if they were hung with a new rope.....and for some reason, there are more than a few of these types on line.

1. The masses are Asses. See "American Idol," the success of movies like "Twister," and the Pet Rock. Folks are easily distracted by spectacles, even those with poor acting and cliched storytelling, such as the case with Avatar.

2. I found the movie to be visually stunning, but the naive "noble savage" politics and anti-technology/western BS makes me want to deport James Cameron back to Canada.

There is a word for people who love movies largely due to "special effects." We call them "special people" for a reason, and I'm not talking about those kind folks with down syndrome either, some of whom can even see through this BS.
