Would people go and watch it and say they honestly liked it for the story, though the visuals were monumentally droll?
The visual effects were great at the time and I am sure many people only went and saw it because of them. However, Star Wars ALSO had a great story and that is what is keeping it interesting today, something Avatar does not have.
An interesting story perhaps, it's well directed, it has a good cast, a decent soundtrack, but then of course there's the LOL IT RIPS OFF DANCES WIV WOLVES!!1! AND POCAH0NTAS!!
It has not an interesting story from what I've read. If it has no interesting story it can't be well directed. I don't know any of the cast that played in the movie. Soundtrack is probably the only good thing in the movie.
Did you know that Star Wars borrows heavily from Akira Kurosawa's filmography, and was oft compared to Lord of the Rings for similar themes? Not that anyone here is familiar with Akira Kurosawa. I don't hear people denouncing Star Wars because it mildly ripped off something else.
Did you know that Avatar borrows outside looks of humans as their characters only making them blue with special effects?
DVD sales will be through the roof, and generally people will rent it out from their video shop. It will of course be rerun on television every year, because such a high box office number suggests people actually liked it.
Nobody is going to buy the DVD because it becomes another movie that is shown in TV every half a year on the same channel, and it becomes boring instantly.
Suggesting that no other movies have wikipedia articles
I don't think that was exactly Scratcher's point.
Wait a second... So you're telling me that when everyone went and 'saw' Avatar at their local cinemas, they had blindfolds on, or did they buy their tickets and sit outside? Or did they walk in then immediately walk out? I certainly didn't, and nobody else at my cinema did. but I suppose I cannot account for anyone else.
That's another one of his points I think you understood wrong.
Please people, I did not choose Star Wars as the EXACT movie that is the only one that is a classic. I only chose it in battle against Avatar, because it was the first movie that came to my mind. So quit your yapping about "Star Wars vs. Avatar" and think of "Star Wars" as every classic movie.
Oh also, popcorn isn't that great.
