In Reply to: "Avatar is not something I'd ever buy." - Well, maybe it's something others will buy; did you ever consider that? posted by Audiophilander on December 29, 2009 at 00:33:50:
Then again, you bought several HD DVD players, which tells everyone something about your grasp of trends in the HD video market.
It doesn't have so much to do with politics as insipid writing, sophomoric direction and the other points I made in my initial reply. Though, yes I do find the politics of Avatar to have been telegraphed rather badly, adversely impacting the film.
I'm very rarely wrong about these things and I just don't see 3D taking off--not in movie theaters and not in home video. Every few years there is another push for it, but aside from sensationalist hype little comes of it.
But you always were a sucker for sensationalism, weren'tcha auph?
