Avatar, still?

I can't believe people are still talking about Avatar. I got to admit that when I saw it (not by my choosing) it was better than I assumed. But it's nothing to dissect. Yes, the CGI is amazing in it. Yes, it holds one's interest for the length of the entire film. But what impresses me the most is that it was (somewhat) original. Hollywood hasn't had an idea since the Matrix.

Sadly, during the previews prior to Avatar, they had a trailer for Clash of the Titans. No one is asking for a remake of that film. So why do it? All Hollywood can do now is remakes and (atrocious) films on comic books and video games (save Nolan's Batman and Silent Hill).

Do what I do, never go to the movies unless you actually are interested in the film. Perhaps the drop in box office revenue will show the walk of fame that you can't shit in a can and call it Terminator: Salvation (Note: never seen it, but I guarantee it sucks).
