Anyone seen "Avatar" ?

[Invincible_Moose]

Eh, Avatar was okay for what it was. Kinda like Pocahontas, Fern Gully, and the Blue Man Group all rolled into one ten foot action movie. Once you start making fun of it, it becomes good. I mean...watching it, you can almost hear him break out into song: "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wish that my junk was as big as my feet!"

Taken, by the way, was probably one of the better movies I've seen in a while. Because of that, I will never sit in a metal chair in the same room with Liam Neeson. I like my legs the way they are.

Still haven't seen There Will Be Blood. Heard that it was really good, though....

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Avatar is an insult to the film-making industry, and James Cameron is a disgrace to directors everywhere. He combined Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, and pretty much every movie ever made about how white men are evil and indians are mystical uber-hippies completely at one with nature. He then removed all of the nouns and played mad-libs, while randomly poking his keyboard (ensuring that vowels outnumbered consonants at least two to one, for that pleasant, airy sound) to create names.

The creatures were nothing but the result of randomly flipping through a National Geographic and wondering what would happen if two dissimilar creatures were to "mate for life." It should be noted that he cleverly ensured his film would appeal to ricers everywhere by putting carbon-fiber in places that nature never intended it. Much like the double wing on the back of a Honda Civic, skeletal structures are in no way a tasteful application of carbon-fiber.

In his desire to make sure that absolutely everyone who saw the movie properly grasped the scope of the evil that these wicked capitalists were unleashing upon the eco-friendly aliens, he dragged out the movie an hour and a half longer than he should have. I was even anxious for fight scenes to end, and there is nothing I like more than watching mech-warriors battle the unholy offspring of Smurfette and Lanky Kong.

My hat is off to any man, woman, child, or elongated smurf that can watch that cinematic abortion 5 times and walk away happy. My testicular fortitude only carried me through the first hour before I began to weep self-consciously at the thought of another portion of my life, wasted, and gone forever.

i still kinda wanna see it..........if you think about it, when did the last "good" movie come out? i cant even remember....plus, it would be MY opinion of what i thought a good movie was.....people thought forest gump was good, all i saw was some retard having a shitty life but he was too dumb to notice.......

That mine is right across the street. Seriously! I live a few miles from the pit. Every Wednesday at 12:20PM on the dot, a mine blast occures. Shakes the whole house and everything.

This man I know worked at that mine(aka EVTAC; aka UTAC currently) for over 38 years now. He was around when the "incidents" occured and he told us that once again, Hollywood has over-dramatized what really happened. None of it was nearly as bad as the movie portraid. It was bad, but not that bad.

I thought it was a really good movie.
