Last night

-

The official Avatar forums exploded last night with surprised Avatar fans who could not believe The Hurt Locker for both Best Picture and Best Director. Said forums turned out to be a lot more entertaining than the Oscar show itself, in fact, I thought I had found a goldmine of humour until it dawned on me that these were actual people writing on this forum. Actual people with no perspective at all. From then on it got a little scary and depressing. Anyway, I bring you the best posts from Avatar's official forum after last night's loss:

"Avatar lost both best director and best picture, but fear not. In a years time, who will be obsessing about The Hurt Locker? No one. What movie won best picture the year Star Wars came out? Annie Hall. Know what that is? I don't."

"I'm going to do the only thing that makes sense to me. Go look through the Neytiri pictures thread while listening to the soundtrack..."

"I'm going to kill myself. Oooh my dear Lord....nooooooooo."

"Noooo please don't... Oscars don't amount to anything in our hearts... in our hearts Avatar is the best movie ever made, this won't change a thing for us!"

"I was hoping Avatar would win more than that, still happy though that they won some awards. How could it not win Best picture and best film editing? Especially editing look at how much stuff they had to edit during the production of the film."

"Avatar belongs in the "Most Significant Movie in History" category. I cannot see any movie ever compete with Avatar in terms of its effect on the entire human population."

"About the Hurt Locker: "I don't get it, it gets SOUND and MUSIC awards? There isn't even a single music snippet in the entire movie, except for one scene when they're listening to a CD... and there's like 2-3 explosions, other than that - no sound at all....”

"I AM NOT ADVOCATING TERRORISM BUT I THINK WE NEED TO GO TO DVD STORES AND STUFF AND DESTROY AND DISPOSE OF EVERY COPY OF THE HURT LOCKER SO THAT IT CANT MAKE ANY MORE MONEY!!!!!"

"the hurt locker", i think, was very good technically speaking (filming, editing, etc.) but i think as well the story was plain boring after 30 minutes. if you had 30 minutes instead of 2h+, it would have been much better + it's a documentary, huh!, not a movie!"

"AVATAR is so vastly different and beyond extraordinary that it really can't be compared to other movies in so many ways .. and that is probably the problem .. the industry was trying to 'Criteria' it by their standards, where Avatar needs to be criteried by a completely different chart."

"This is the greatest movie ever made, with the greatest movie director and writer, and the greatest community gathering on the greatest forum... does the Hurt Locker have that? Nope don't think so. Did The Hurt Locker make people feel feelings like Avatar did? Nope. Avatar is the greatest movie ever, and the Oscars will not sway my view of the movie, in fact I must see it again!!!"

"well the initial disappointment of Avatar losing is subsiding. People are right. Star Wars didn't even win and lost to some movie called Annie Hall. THL didn't even show in any theatres near me, so I couldn't see it if I wanted."
