I think In Bruges is probably better than Avatar
But it didn't win an oscar.

That's hardly a like for like comparison.

I wasn't trying to make a like for like comparison
I think I was just trying to show that a great film with a great story isn't going to do as well as a special effects show real with a not very good hackneyed story.

that's because idiots are involved in the selection process
but I imagine Avatar might win for best special effects, it's certainly not going to win best original story.

I like the review by someone I forget
that when 3D movies are the norm we will think that it was ground breaking but ultimately shit.

I could live without the 3D really
it was interesting, but ultimately didn't add anything and didn't make it seem like you were immersed by any means
