He says, as if he's not responsible for three out of four of the top grossing movies of all time...

The movies may be bland as all fuck, but the man knows how to put arses on cinema seats.

Not mine. The Avatar crap was too boring to even watch at home.

You can't even watch it at home as intended. You'd need 3D (which is dead) and high frame rates for certain scenes (which aren't supported).

I really really don't see what it adds. I saw it with all the bells and whistles and was bored out of my tits after the first 10 minutes

Now and then I'll be watching some older movie, and there will be these weird directorial choices of auto parts flying at the screen, and I'll realize that I'm seeing a 3-D scene. It not only ages badly, it gives the film a bit of a cringe factor, like you realize that back when it was made, it was trying too hard to be liked.
