Monday Must

If you have been putting off watching Avatar…don’t any longer. The DVD dropped this past Thursday and is selling in record amounts.


Whatever you may think about this movie (that it maybe looks silly and slightly cartoonish?) it does not come close to the reality of it. How could we have ever doubted its excellence when this lady stars in it?


A large part is CG but every time I see this technology at work I am even more amazed at the detail and sheer genius of it. Avatar is not a new story line, as we have been told; there are no new story lines but it is original in the retelling of it. Instead of Cowboys and Indians, it is Military and Aliens. The concept of the stronger, greedier race trying to destroy the smaller, sensitive one for profit is the backbone of this tale.

The Na'vi are in tune with the land, they are a part of nature and coexist with every creature on their planet. The military wants to destroy their land so they can take a new precious metal called Unobtainium.
They opted for a happy ending instead of the harsh reality in these situations. If only the Indians had this guy, maybe things would have turned out differently for them.

He is smokin’ hot no matter what color he is.


And if he looks familiar, it’s because he was this guy too:

And this guy:




This movie is a Monday Must!

  10. Yeah, I totally loved it! It's such an inspiration (you won't believe how badly I spelled that 2 seconds ago) for us writers. You don't need the most original concept, if you can weave a story like James Cameron.

    On second thought, maybe that's not inspirational...

It helps to know I'm not just talking to myself.
