Avatar

Has anyone seen Avatar and drawn a parallel between Parker Selfridge and Bruce Ratner?

I saw Avatar. I did not draw that parallel. The film was too much fun. To politicize it would reduce the pleasure.

On the other hand, if you can find several thousand ten-foot tall blue-skinned folks riding dragons to attack Atlantic Yards, I will root for you and them all the way.

Avatar = Fern Gully + Dances With Wolves. aka Dances with Smurfs. Or so I've heard.

except instead of smurfs it's hot 3D sex kittens

amazing movie by the way

Wow look at the pretty pictures = Avatar

I grew up in a very rural area, when we played little league and a plane flew by, all of us kids stopped playing and watched the plane.

Thats Avatar in a nutshell.

The pretty pictures draw attention away from the non existing storyline.

Also not enough of the blue mfers get killed by headshot.

Haven't seen it yet, but this review had an interesting take on this.

Planning to [finally] see it tomorrow night at the Battery Park theater. I'm mostly interested in the visuals. I fee like I've been watching previews for a year now.

I saw Avatar last week, and I enjoyed it. Not for the storyline, which is predictable at best (the whole Na'vi/Native American parallel is so heavy-handed that, a couple of times, I had to tell myself, 'okay, just ignore it'), but for the visual spectacle. It's the only movie in years that has made me say, "man, I really gotta see that on a big screen."

Eh...I thought much of this while watching Avatar, which I will NEVER see again.

First of all, the Battery Park theater is my new go to. Clean, stadium seating and there were like 15 people at Avatar!

Don't go for the story, got for eye candy. And I like this:
