That claim is even worse. No forum goers are your average "casual" movie goer? The fact that you visit *any* forum excludes you from being an average movie goer? I'd argue the majority of forum goers are your average moviegoers. Sheesh. It's not like because you are passionate about gaming you chamge your movie-watching habits. Either it must be that:
a) People who eventually sign up for *any* forum have never been the average movie goer, because of their generally high interest for gaming/politics/hunting/music/etc.
Or b) When you sign up for a forum, you automatically change your movie watching habits because god knows why.
Neither makes particularly much sense to me though.

I am not sure wheather you are intentionally are trying to misunderstand me, or if I am not explaining myself correctly...
When I talk about thé "casual" movie goer, I am talking about my mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, people 50+, that has no particular interest in todays entertainment.
Neither of them watch that many movies, but occasionally when something big hits, or something is hyped in the media, then they go see it.
I don't cosinder myself an extreme movie goer, I watch between 20-30 movies every year in the cinema, while they might only watch 3-5, if that "many".
What i meant with the forum comment, was that if you are sitting on a forum with 50.000 members and 47.500 of them are saying they hate Avatar and don't care about Avatar, and you think that counts for everyone else, then you are mistaken.
Does it make any sense?

Wow, coming from a Star Wars fan I'm surprised you are showing some respect and defence towards Avatar. I applaud you and agree 150% on what you have stated. My thoughts exactly and I've been trying to explain this to so many others. It seems the hardcore INTERNET crowd is hating on Avatar and they are using this medium to spread lies about it because THEY didn't enjoy it or for god knows what other reasons. Avatar is a great film and is NOT hated worldwide like most over the internet assume it is.
BRAVO!!
