It doesn't matter how successful it is: support what you like out of honesty.
I am don't like the pirate copy bullshit, but that's just me. I don't care how successful a film is or is not: I pay for it if I like it.
However, that doesn't mean that I can't try my best to adapt to what goes on, so I encourage people who pirate to purchase what they like most...as a means of compromise.

Although, it's gonna lose major power when it goes to DVD. It's a cinematic experience.

Thanks. It also sucks that you're just about the only other person I know that shares my belief on this. But, I guess I should expect that from people that I only talk to on the internet.
On you second comment: I'm not too sure about that. if you have enough money, the home theater can be just as good if not better than the movie theater. Just give me 2-3 years, and I'll show you what I mean...honest.

I have experienced a home cinema. It doesn't do it for me.

Oh, believe me, I know your stance on this topic!But I agree with your last statement, I'm not sure if I want to see this movie on DVD. Then again, I don't really care for 3D, so I may want to see what it's like in 2D.
Same, I want to see it again, but in 2D, but I also want to see it on the screen again, not at home.
Here's a question: what on Pandora made the Na'vi decide to show and teach the main character everything about themselves? They feel they can't trust the humans, they decide not to let people in on their secrets that have good intentions (the scientists, people who started schools for their children even). Then a soldier walks in and they say: well, show him everything we got! WTF???

There was a scene explaining that. They are superstitious weirdos. Nuff said.

Jake Sully was a warrior. The leader was curious about the "warriors" from both a tactical standpoint, and a curiosity standpiont.
The chief even said that they should learn all they can from the warrior.

It was mutual "learning" also. Remember the dialogue when the chief says something about his brain being too full..and he reassured the cheif that his brain wa empty, as a joke...?
They were used to scientists who "knew everything" and had a hard time accepting the mystical aspects of their adventures as fact. The scientists wanted to just teach them science and tech and just learn their ways...but not LEARN their ways, as Jake did.
