I maintain that Avatar wasn't actually a movie, but a 178 minute long digital painting. You can get rid of the sound, or sub in music for most of the movie, and I would be equally entertained. There is an audience now, small but growing, who have read so much, interacted with, and thoughtfully consumed so many stories, that good storytelling is no longer so much about the story, as it is about the telling, if you understand what I'm trying to say.
