    I actually cried during the first 10 mins of "A Complete Unknown." And the only other time I've ever cried in the first 10 mins of a movie was when I accidentally paid to see "Avatar" in 2D.

    My take on the "AVATAR hasn't made a big cultural impact" thing is that for movies in the last 40 years to make a big cultural impact, people need to watch them over and over and over, and among popular films, AVATAR is uniquely bad at being a movie that people want to watch on their TV.
