Where were you when Princess Diana died?) How many times did you watch Avatar? :-) But that's just me - I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to these things. ;-) I loved it, completely and totally, and I might add, unashamedly. :-) Avatar is like ‘Star Wars’ for our time – it’ll redefine the movie experience for sure, and you can add another question to the Big Question List: (Where were you on 9/11?

And apparently this is enough to get it an Oscar nomination. 3D technology, photorealistic graphics, the absolute depth (read: cost) of the whole project: it certainly *did* refine graphics as a whole to an extent we haven’t thought of.

They felt that the real world couldn’t compete with Avatar…methinks someone needs to get out a little more." Hmm. That sounds a little like paid-for marketing hype, to me. “Did you hear about the many people who experienced depression after watching it?

I'm sure you've seen the bit going round the interwebs demonstrating that the story was basically the same as Pocahontas with the names changed. In its own way I suppose the story is classic but this was an interesting way of telling it, plus it looked awesome. Did you hear about the many people who experienced depression after watching it?
