Butch, you need to see Avatar and give it a chance. The stroy is nothing new but it was a thouroughly enjoyable movie to see. I don't consider myself a sophisticated movie critic, but I thought it was a great movie and would say I liked it better than The Hurt Locker (I saw both of them in the last two weeks). I can't think of another movie I enjoyed more than Avatar in the last year, but I haven't seen a lot of movies recently (maybe Inglorious Basterds).
The HL and Avatar are two very different films. I really enjoyed them both but it's hard to compare the two. I also know that Oscar isn't a mainstream award (the Oscar doesn't usually go to the movie that earned the most of was most popular). There are some Oscar winning movies that I think were terribly boring like the English Patient.
