What, that it's basically a rehash of a 1962 H. Beam Piper novel? That the story has been done to death in just about every genre (DANCES WITH WOLVES being the biggest one). Yeah, I think everyone else got that.
One of my employees didn't understand that Avatar was set on another world, why "that one man was so hateful" and insisted "it was hard to understand!"
No one understands BLANK like I do... Seriously, get over yourself. The themes and concepts presented in Avatar are hardly new or innovative. Its called Gaianism.
I do feel that few people appreciate Avatar the way I do. It's really, really not hard to "get", but its strengths lie in astonishing amounts of worldbuilding, mindblowingly beautiful scenery and airtight direction and cinematography, all of which seems to get lost in the cheapassed story and the paper-thin characters. Every time I watch it, I wish I could just go off away from the story and fly around looking at the giant trees, the floating rocks and whole moon's worth of strange, entirely untamed wilds.
Yes, because we all know Avatar is full of rich, complex themes that the average moviegoer is unable to fully comprehend.

ReplyDeleteHer shirt is missing a 'U' between the 'D' and the 'M'.

ReplyDeleteNobody understands what it's like making a Pocahontas joke about Avatar the way I do. I feel like it's totally *my* joke.
ReplyDeleteFern Gully is totally my movie...
ReplyDelete@Trae Dorn: HEY. Fern Gully is MY movie!
ReplyDeleteSo, she's saying she's super racist?
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy! some real intelligence on this thread.
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard they've made a Smurfs movie in 3D, my first response was: Didn't James Cameron already do that?

ReplyDeleteWhat, she's a closet furry?

ReplyDeleteare you John Conner?
Oh god no! Is that a Dave Matthews Band t-shirt she is wearing?
ReplyDeleteSooooo..... the guy who think Planet of the Apes sucks is a crazy, but she's not?
ReplyDeleteonly reason I watched that movie was to see blue nipples.
ReplyDeleteI was disappoint.
