Well there goes that broad appeal!

Fact: I don't know a single person that liked Titanic, other than you and my sister.

GhaleonEB

I don't know that guy! So with the exclusion of Maurice, who apparently has not seen something with such broad appeal, we're at a grand total of TWO PEOPLE on the Internet that we know that liked Titanic.

Wow, now wonder it was such a broad hit!

I'll go out on a limb and bet that he didn't praise Transformers 2.
He was a producer for both Transformers 1 and 2.

edit: and I just saw this.
[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

The actors were definitely over-acting on purpose.  This was probably on purpose to make it easier for the animators but there's no way they can deserve an oscar for it.

I would not personally spend the time and money to see a painfully derivative adventure movie aimed at teenagers.

That sub genre is just not my cup of tea.

And yet you'll watch painfully horrible action movies aimed a teenagers. smh

I generally stray away from painfully horrible action films, unless they have specific elements I want to see. None are apparent in Avatar, sorry.

Hey, even I don't like the sequel, no matter how hard everyone tries to lump me into that audience.

But the mere fact that you went to see Transformers 2 after seeing Transformers 1 makes me want to throttle you! You are part of the problem, Willco!!

The sequel at least has better mechanical designs on the new robots than the first one did.  I can at least tell The Fallen, Devastator, and Jetfire apart from each other.

The first movie was complete fail.  Giving it a B- was Willco's darkest hour.

You helped give Transformers 2 mindshare. Mindshare that enticed more people to spend their hard-earned monies to go to see it. You practically funded a third iteration, Willco!

It seems weird that we haven't seen any other giant robot Hollywood movies considering how big the Transformers movies have been.

The Voltron movie seems to be in development hell, and the Robotech project got announced like two years ago and then nothing...probably mired in rights issues.

I'm sure those fetishes have everything to do with my belief that Cameron should win Best Director for Avatar.

I get the same feeling after all the hype and discussion it makes but then I see this video and laugh my ass off.  Avatar's acting looks weirder than a fat man doing parkour, which is enjoyable but not for 3 hours.
