Went to see Avatar. It did not suck. It’s essentially an extremely optimistic Dances With Wolves. Revealed by this viewing were the following four facts, which I add to my database on the universe:
1. Sigourney Weaver is smoking hot at 60 years old. She looks better now than I have ever looked or will ever look.
2. Every film – every film – which involves a stand-off between good and bad must and will at all times come down to a fistfight between the main bad guy and the main good guy. I don’t care how big their armies are, what species they are, I don’t care whether they’re from the future or the past or anything else. Two of ‘em. Fistfight.
3. Even on other planets you need a training montage if you expect to get good at anything.
4. We still know very little about the universe, its origins and the ways in which life comes to be – but we are sure aliens will usually be pretty sexy.
5. 3D’s great. Maybe I just like the glasses…

I haven’t seen it and don’t particularly want to – the reviews I have read all say things like ‘great 3D, shame about the 2D plot’.

Thanks for the encouragement rain
I’m happy I make you laugh, for what it’s worth you make me laugh too!
truthsign I heard the same reviews, went expecting nothing but eye-candy, and was pleasantly surprised. I’m not saying it’s Shakespeare but it’s got its moments. I think the trick is to expect very little. hm. Maybe that’s something I could apply to my whole life!
