Fucking Avatar

[B E C K]

Why the fuck is this so popular? 

I haven't seen it.  I really didn't care that much to.  When I first heard of it, I was all "wow, Sigourney Weaver's in it!"  When I saw a teaser for it, I was all "what the fuck is this shit, those things are U-GLY!"  When I looked the movie up and realized they made the Na'vi people of color and were doing this whole Magic Whitey bullshit (but, like, IN SPACE!!11), I admit I only lost more interest.  I'll probably Netflix it eventually.  Hell, I did that to the Abyss and I can't imagine anything being worse than that shitfest of a movie.

I know this was mentioned in the movie thread, but is it a new fetish to retarded-looking blue aliens or wut?  This movie has already killed a man.  No more need to die.

DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU CAN'T WATCH IT IN 3D

Seriously, the plot is nothing special. Its just another telling of how awful humans and especially white people are and how we like to stomp on things we think are shiny.

The reason to watch this is the 3D effects, and the story is just strong enough that the whole experience is pretty awesome, but without the 3D, don't fucking bother. You won't care for it, I am sure of it. With the effects, it is awesome.

Nothing is worse than The Abyss.

Okay, I get what your saying, but 3D films make me ill after the first half-hour. 

[Derrick]

People are killing themselves because they can never live in the world presented. Fucking wierdos.

[B E C K]

That understandable.  I think we'd all like to be a little taller.

[Fiero]

But the breasts are all far too small!

I'm sorry about not being able to stand the 3D. The movie is good without it, just nowhere near as good. Go watch it and if you end up leaving early go bitch at a manager to get a free pass for anther film.

"This dern thing is givin' me a headache!  I want my money back!"  I wonder how many people did that.  Can't you just take the glasses off and sit for the rest?  Not that I'd want to.  Or do you see those little colored lines coming from shit?

[Rama]

I think this just setting up James Cameron to become dictator for life. Way to go guys.

[B E C K]

Who has money on him being assassinated by a guy painted in blue?

[Fiero]

Haha. So, yeah, you can take the glasses off. My parents said my one year old nephew did that at Disneyworld in the "Bugs Life" 3D ride thing like thing. He threw them off of his face on the ground as soon as a bug came at his face, but then got used to it.

[Rodent of Unusual Size]

Didn't see it and didn't plan to for a number of reasons. There's no 3D theater within two hours of where I live, I don't like theaters, anyway; it looked stupid, and I don't care for preachy movies. For instance, I got Dances with Wolves on VHS for two dollars with a Happy Meal (does anyone remember McDonald's doing this? It's how I got a lot of TMNT cartoons on tape in the day). It remains my worst-spent $2 ever. The tape was burned unceremoniously in the old backyard trash barrel.

[Fiero]

@Rodent:  I do remember that.

In your case, because there are no 3D theatres within your reasonable range, don't go see it. Its not worth it without the effect, IMHO.

And then he learned to love bugs that day.

  Even better was when I read this to Merla and she was all "That's not appropriate for a Happy Meal!"

I got Dances with Wolves the same exact way. But unlike you I sold it at swap meet for 2 bucks last year and thus got my money back.

And I remember getting TMNT tapes from Burger King.

I watched it on 3D and still don't care for it.

Have any of you heard about the new Avatar pr0n movie?

[Karmarose]

I really don't care for it at all.
My brother apparently saw it, told me he liked the visuals but the story was lacking.

[Fiero]

That's exactly what I've been saying.

My biggest irritation was when their is an out of focus element in the foreground. Have I already mentioned that?

You mean people actually *did* pay money for that festing pile of crap? USED?! The only thing good about that movie was that Kicking Bird basically mocked his role by playing Joseph in Maverick.

And I remember getting TMNT tapes from Burger King.

Quite right. I'd forgotten.

[Fiero]

How can you people not like Dancing with the Wolves?

[Rama]

I thought Dances With Wolves was ok. Not great, not bad. Just ok. I wouldn't mind to having it in my DVD collection, but I'm not going out of my way to get it. In fact it's been in the 5 buck bin here for awhile and I still haven't picked it up.

Well, the name of the thread is "fuckig avatar."

[B E C K]

I've never seen it.  I tried but decided to do something else within the first five minutes it started.  Merla saw half of it (I think) and never bothered finishing it.

[Rama]

It's kinda an Anti-climatic ending.

[B E C K]

Does it involve any breaking dancing canids?

[Rama]

Well...depends on if you are ever going to watch it. If you say no then I can just say yes and make you feel better about it. But if you then go watch it you'll be let down when you really see it.

What I won't tell you is that it's just Costner riding off into the snow hauling President Roslin behind him while an Indian is all like "Oh no...don't go Dances with Wolves we luvers you!!! Come back Shane, Come back." Cause that would be totally disappointing.

[B E C K]

Pa's got things for you to do, Dances With Wolves! And Mother wants you. I know she does.

[Rama]

You know..Shane and Dances with Wolves do have a lot in common. I mean replace family farms with Buffalo, and Cattle Men with Army Men and Settlers and it's kinda the same.

Did he hook up with the girl? Did he?

[Rama]

Yes.

[Faye Valentine]

Did she get preggers or something scandalous like that? Or was it just like Pocahontas, slam wham thank you ma'am?
