Yeah, well most movies that get Oscar nominations don't appeal to the mass audience, mostly just the objectively dedicated and cinema-buff types. To quote Christian Slater talking with Saul Rubinek in True Romance, they're "unwatchable movies based off unreadable books". The rest of the world, who is busy in the theater watching Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich movies for the explosions and then complaining about it after the credits for being mindless action, only picks up on or realizes that the movie exists until after the fact, when it's already up for consideration. Hell, critical acclaim is usually half the advertisement that the movies that end up scoring big in the Oscars get. Otherwise, the casual audience isn't going to the theater to ponder over the sociopolitical metaphors in the abstract foreground of a post-modern, avant-garde piece of arthouse swill. Anyone who's seen the Onion Movie knows exactly which scene I'm thinking of right now. If not, sorry, it ain't on Youtube.

saw it again.

Its worth it...take it from someone who is suspicious of any popular movie ever since watching Napoleon Dynamite. Biggest waste of time ever. Avatar, however, was great.

That's what she said :downs:

(haven't seen it either)

My parents offered me to go see this with them during our Christmas Break. I didn't really believe the hype before I saw the sales and my classmates' response to this movie. That night, I instead chose to productively work on a college admission supplement.

That's right, you heard me. My parents offered me to go watch this movie with them.... in 3D... and I effectively denied. I have not watched this movie yet.

........ I denied the opportunity to watch this movie.

.............. Denied.
