Not on IMAX (I really don`t know what that means haha) I watched it on my dvd player at home. The movie sound tracks are really awful and annoying, never mention the crappy over all story.

Yeah...it's much much better in HD and 3-D. Absolutely fantastic, actually; a regular DVD player and TV doesn't do it justice.

The big toe on my right foot is killing me; the pain is travelling from the tip all the way down through my arch and a little up my leg.
I don't know what I did to it, but standing in line at the post office made me want to say phrases that would make a sailor blush.

You watched a pirated version at home on your DVD player? Well, for starters, if that was recorded in a theater it can't be good quality.
I take back being sorry you got a headache. Not sympathetic about it now.

But what`s the point of watching it in 3D if the story sucks anyway?

I had to work extra hours.
All the kids at my job wouldn't stop screaming.
My car broke down on the way home.
I no longer have a car so I can not make it to the only town near enough to provide me with entertainment and stores where I will need to shop.
My fiance's bitch of a no good mother as done nothing but scream at him for our broken car and lack of money because we keep paying HER rent.
We need to find an apartment, but we are so young that renters are giving us shit for having no credit.
Things are just generally shitty right now.

Sorry, what? If that's your logic, what's the point of seeing "Fantasia", or "2001: A Space Odyssey." Don't analyze the story behind "Star Wars" or "Terminator" too closely. I'm a big fan of "What Dreams May Come" and "A Scanner Darkly", but I admit that I enjoy them because they are visual feasts, not necessarily because of their story-telling efficacy.
At any rate, choose to see it or don't see it if you think the biggest box office success in the history of movies won't satisfy you with it's story and that's all that matters to you. But don't take a film famous for it's revolutionary technology and equate watching it on a bogarted home DVD as the same experience.
And the bogarted DVD is probably why you got the headache.

Why won't you try watching it on 4-D? It's way cooler

Giving you shit? It's completely legitimate to not want to rent to teenagers.

Both of my kittens are in heat. Time to take a trip to the vet. >_>

I better not be pregnant. [Though I've never heard of a new pregnancy giving someone a fit of heartburn or burping. Nausea, yes. Burping, no...]

The idea of teenagers getting engaged/married makes me sick. Physically, violently sick.

I hate how badly Jake and my schedules match up, at most we get to spend one day together a week and most other days we don't even get to spend more than two waking hours together. I miss having an active sex life.

Please don't compare Avatar to 2001, Fantasia or Star Wars, I might get sick. Some people just can't forgive atrocious story lines and even worse acting and outright plagiarism no matter how pretty it is.

My entire night tomorrow may be fucked up and wrecked before it even begins to happen.
I'm getting sick. Hopefully it's not fucking H1N1 again..
I work tomorrow, and really don't want to go in.
My room is a filthy mess.
I fucking hate Valentines Day and there's no way to get away from it until it's over.
God damn tattoo itches.
Whiny bitch much? I think so.

The story line isn't new, nor is it atrocious. The people who say that now didn't say it about the hundreds of movies in the past the pirated the same basic premise. Corporation = Empire. The only difference is that Star Wars' Empire's bad guy had James Earl Jones' voice.
The acting was exaggerated, over-the-top caricature. It's what was required for the movie. This ain't Shakespeare.
Plagiarism? Every movie at this point is plagiarism. Nosferatu ripped off Dracula. Most folks I know like that just fine.
You didn't like it. Okay. Most of the world disagrees with you. Many of the critic's reviews are calling it this generation's Star Wars. Get over it.

I have a relative who started out from Boston to drive to Illinois yesterday, driving right into that storm front that has dropped 20 inches of snow so far in places on the east coast. Still waiting to hear from him that he is okay.

Most of these threads are buried under 3 pages of goddamn spam. I am disappointed.
