I saw Avatar on my Date with Ryan the other night. i have this to say about it:
Ok....yeah ok it was pretty, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, save for the two exit signs that were TOTALLY ruining my 3-D experience by adding unnecessary glare....safety my butt. But....come on..."I see you"?, come on creative team! It was so long though, that I could probably honestly say I enjoyed a good hour and 45 minutes of it, the other parts, I get to be critical of.
Like, how old hat is it so demonize the military. I mean I'm not like a HUGE fan of the army and I'm sure not ALL the choices they make are morally stable, HOWEVER I would like to imagine that in the year 2154 we would have the brains to deal with new civilizations in an intelligent way. You can't honestly expect me to believe that the U.S military came upon a planet with humanoid natives and went "pushy Violence/Mass genocide, works every time!" as if they forgot everything about the birth of their own country and many others. I can't believe that after thousands of years to develop a perfectly viable sector of the military they would have people in charge that would go "Science and valid information baaaad, Violence and ignorance goooood".....it wasn't believable hence making it all the more obvious that this was an allegory for something......else.
Also during the movie Ryan leaned over and told me that the main girl
Na'vi reminded him of me.....simply because I'm tall. On that same note, the main avatar reminded me of my friend Blaze....
simply because he is tall...I should also add that he is a talented musician with a new(
ish) band called "
The can't tells" Check them out.
