Right, because you’re the grand arbiter of enjoyment in books? There’s more than one reason to read a book, and more than one way to enjoy that book. You clearly require complex and deep plot points to enjoy a book. That’s fine, just try to keep from saying that people are very special for thinking any other part of a book can be enjoyable.
Your viewpoint is not the only one. Learn some tolerance, Mr. Furry.
Oh, and books, they are paper. Do you not understand how the text gets to the book, or the mechanics of printing?
Hopefully you understand that a Novel is not a Pop-Up book, and the two are never compared, for obvious reasons. Someone who enjoys Shakespere is unlikely to enjoy Pat the Bunny in the same respect, however, while someone who enjoys Pat the Bunny isn’t wrong for doing so, they most certainly are wrong for trying to say that Pat the Bunny is better than Shakespere because it’s “funnerer” and “gots that soft fuzzy bit”. The two are simply not the same thing.
Avatar is not legitimate theatre, i’ll get back to this in a second.
Someone who likes Hot Tub Time Machine might not enjoy Precious, not because they can’t understand the complex story, but simply because they don’t get the same “escape” from it. However both movies are legitimate movies. While one may be simple, and one complex, they both tell a story built around characters and build everything up around that.
Avatar on the other hand takes a mediocre cookie cutter story told a million and a half times, and puts a fresh coat of paint on it. The story could never stand on it’s own, it’s thin, unoriginal, and while well acted the characters are boring as all ****. In addition to just sucking hard, people like this **** because Cameron is someone who has done good in the past. He can get away with this ****. Had it been a brand new director, but the same movie, it would not gross as much, nor receive the same fanfare.
Avatar is all about the visuals, not the story, the story really is an after thought. They followed every rule in the book of Disney in how to design the Na’vi. They use bright vibrant colors for the good guys and boring drab colors for the bad guys, this is fine in general, but not fine if the only thing you have going for you is visuals.
One could say Sin City is like this, but that would be a mistake, Sin City uses the visual style to enhance the story, not to replace it. The movie could have been made without the intense graphical style and still have stood. The same can not be said for avatar.
People who like Avatar, but refuse to admit it’s a glorified version of sesame street, are retards. The people who enjoy pretty colors _may_ be retards, but at least they understand that the movie is pretty much worthless otherwise.
People are entitled to an opinion, even if it’s wrong, but that doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t be corrected when they say that the story and message are great and that Avatar is more than a Polished turd.
And that is what Avatar is, an IMAX 3D Blue Polished Turd in Space. (view post) |

1) Fair Enough, but people are more likely to have paid attention to the story of pocahontas and not fall asleep.
2) Thus proving that the movie has no right to exist

It’s just as easy to create 3D from something real, if not easier since there is no animation required.
CGI has always been “as real as it can get”, Go watch Star Wars Episode 1, or better yet, the awesome YouTube review of it (and how it sucks) and look at the visuals. Then compare them to the movie you’re yiffing over now (Avatar). Both movies were described in the same way, but came out nearly 10 years apart. In 10 years someone will use Avatar in the same way, to show how CGI has gotten better and that it’s constantly referred to as “as real as it can get” (or something like that, i know those aren’t your words).
Also, take a look at this blast from the past: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5x5OXfe9KY
I remember when that appeared and people remarked at how lifelike the baby looked.
3D has been around for a long bum time, and it will never be perfected until the brain in hacked and video is inputted directly into the optic nerve replacing what your eyes are seeing. Until then it’s going to be a series of gimmicks that require you too look very special and pay way too much money.
Also: Movie tickets are too damn expensive, i’m not going to pay any extra $6 to see some ****ty movie in 3D.
In conclusion: CGI has nothing to do with it and Avatar is just Smurfs in Space acting out Pocahantas.
P.S. Serious about the Star Wars EP1 review, not only does it show clips from the movie, but the first installment has clips from Terminator and The Original Trilogy that were for thier time examples of realistic special effects and CGI.
Also: I can think of worse ways to waste 70 Minutes. (view post) |

has over-reliance on anaglyph stereoscopy held back the development of 3D cinema?Short answer: No Long answer: No, Avatar sucked.
But in all seriousness anaglyph is much easier to create than other forms of stereophotography and requires less equipment. It also is the only form that is easily adapted to film. (view post) |

Holy Crap Saint Patrick's Day!OMG OMG OMG! CAN’T WAIT!
Let us celebrate this highest of holy days (for us alcoholics at least) by posting some kick-bum irish music and discussing our plans (or lack thereof)
This is too damn catchy not to post first.
As for plans, there’s a little pub not too far from home that’ll be packed, but I can’t imagine any other place to spend the night. (view post) |

Retire INCITWell, the main flaw i see is that it requires active players to work effectively. Why not turn it into something a bit more like forumbuildr or itembuildr where the time window is longer, this would give more people a chance to play, upping the amount of quality (bumuming that you are more likely to get people playing is also bumuming you are more likely to get _good_ people playing)
Perhaps instead of a five submission cap it should be any more than 3 in a set hour window, or better yet, run multiple games during the course of a day.
One example would be to accept submissions on game 1 between 00:00 and 03:00, then accept submissions on game 2 and voting on game 1 between 03:00 and 06:00, and just continue with that trend. Allow non-submitters to vote too. This would solve a problem where early submissions are more likely to get more votes (somewhat of a problem with the other games).
It’s just an idea, it’s not really perfect, but I think it would help. (view post) |
