Is this the thread where it's ok for me to say Avatar was boring?

That's being too kind.
And both CGI and most big tentpole movies suck. But BFD, I have HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a comfy couch. I wouldn't go to a theater anyway, so I don't expect Hollywoo to try targeting me with cerebral, well-acted films.

Technology has produced a race of spoiled and entitled pricks who have lost anything resembling suspension of disbelief. They feel Hollywood owes them perfect realism and perfect stories that adhere to the highest levels of 100% accurate science. Any flaw in this is considered a piece of shit. And yet they create nothing of their own.
When I was growing up they threw dummies out of windows, fights were phoney, ray guns simply worked, and getting shot was only a flesh wound. We knew it was fiction and we used our imagination. Today, brilliant accomplishments like Gravity and Interstellar get shit because they're not 100% scientifically accurate. This is because technology has produced a bunch of entitled anal OCD accuracy nerds with no imagination. They'd rather pick something apart than take the ride.
The Six Million Dollar Man use to run in slow-motion. Never forget.

Why does Oscar need to pick society apart instead of simply riding with the rest of us?

For what it's worth, this list seems to concentrate on when the cgi was most distracting. Though I do understand what Oscar is getting at, there is a point where they should have just left it alone.
