At the water cooler

I was at work yesterday and everyone in the office was going on and on about Avatar and how great it was and unique it was. The plot, mind you, not the special effects. So, I joined in. I said “Oh, I heard it was basically Dances with Wolves with blue cat people.” Dead silence. Everyone went back to their desks. I killed the water cooler chat.
Avatar… I know. I am also very timely.
