Psssss! Hey Gayass, what do you think now?
Dances with Wolves in Space, a computer graphics show in 3d with zero originality, boring stereotype characters and a lousy script, that managed to make zillions of dollars, the end is near folks
So I've heard. I think I'll stick with my noir films from the 40's and 50's. They have plot, character, good scripts, fine B+W photography, i.e. all those things that have sadly gone out of date in the world of the present.Dances with Wolves in Space, a computer graphics show in 3d with zero originality, boring stereotype characters and a lousy script, that managed to make zillions of dollars, the end is near folks
Your confusing the purpose behind Avatar. Plot, character, and script were not the prime reason for the movie. It was the introduction of new technology. Yes it was a formula movie. Hollywood is full of them.
I guess a lot of folks will pay to see a demonstration of special effects. I'm not among them.
ask Gayos Baltar, he'll tell you how much he loves to hate, or hates to love the movie.
This still doesn't explain the rationale for including a DVD with the blu-ray... Just trying to understand your reasoning here... DVD's are all fully capable of running in Blu-ray players, in fact, most (if not all of them) will even upscale them to near HD quality... I have had a DVD player since 1997... and have over the years amassed a personal library of over 1200 titles (not counting our rather extensive library of adult titles...) and I'm not about to replace them all! I haven't come across a single one of them yet that won't play in my Blu-ray.... The only reason I still keep my DVD plugged into my home theater system is for versatility. (The DVD player is a five disc carousel and is a lot more user friendly for playing MP3 compilation DVD's...)

That's not quite the point. Rather, how many folks have a portable Blu Ray player or a Blu Ray player in their car or bedroom? But many do have DVD players for such. If you're going to sell Blu Ray, you'd also better keep that huge base of DVD customers happy.
Not really... those people would normally just buy the DVD regardless... why pay extra for the film if all the DVD's would still be fully compatible with any Blu-ray player they may happen to purchase in the future.
This explanation seems much more viable IMHO...
I cannot tell a lie. I read that somewhere on CNET. (Insert 'never had an original idea in his life' smilie)
