[Requiem ex Inferni]

So I just got back from watching Avatar- you know, that movie with the blue people with bows fighting heavily armed soldiers-, and I have two complaints.

1. The cost. The ******** charged me for the ticket AND an extra $3.50 for the damn 3D glasses. I basically payed the normal price of $9.00 to get into the first matinee showing of the day (first showing for Cinemark theaters is $5.50). This left me with no money for soda (the only thing I must have when seeing a movie is a big a** Mr. Pibb).

2. The 3D itself gave me a headache. Apparently the human eye is not meant to stare at 3D images on a screen, through a pair of 3D glasses AND regular glasses, for two and a half hours. I was dizzy as hell when I left the theater.

Besides this, the movie was excellent. If you haven't seen it already, go out and see it. James Cameron has definitely outdone himself with this movie- it makes the rest of the stuff he's done look like absolute s**t.

I hope it isn't good enough to make a staple of it...

Like how anything that Michael Bay does has explosions, 'splosions, splodin'-things, robots, trucks, robo-trucks, and transformers... And an unhealthy amount of death in the direction of our armed forces.

I'll see it when you drag my dead body inside the theatre. I love Avatar, and I am ******** insulted about how all the characters were made into white people for the movie.

It's not the movie for that mediocre TV show. The live-action movie for that show is called The Last Airbender. The movie I'm talking about is a sci-fi movie directed by the guy who directed Aliens, Titanic and the first two Terminator movies.

This is why I refuse to give them back in those recycle bins they have. Gonna charge me for 'em? I'll ******** keep them, and wear them NEXT TIME, too. ******** you, theater.

I get a headache too, but it goes away after ten minutes or so, when my brain adjusts.

From what I've heard all the white people in the movie Avatar are racist jackasses, and the two people who are minorities, a relative term, are the 'good guys'.

This is another 'whites are racist ******** and you should hate all of them because of it and all you whites should feel bad' movie.

Also could be seen as an allegory for the war in iraq.

You nailed it. This is anti-war mythbuilding. Kind of like a cross between District 9 and Ferngully 1 and 2.

More like District 9 in most respects. The humans wind up being the evil ones because all they appear to want are new weapons and don't care about the aliens.

The myth of the moon in orbit of a planet near Alpha Centauri is the standard "they have resources that Earth needs now or we're all gonna die' plot. Thus, send in the space marines to settle the claims.

it is xd it really really is...
call the planet/moon there on Iraq,
call the company Haliburton or Blackwater,
call the metal or w/e there mining oil,
and call the Navi iraqi's...

other than that, this movie was AWESOME... i came buckets xp it;s 3D landscape/fantasy creature porn... i had to sit like 4 rows from the front so it wasn;t as good as it could be... but s**t, them's some pretty flying lizards... heart

There's a Ferngully 2?
...
*sigh*

Is there also a Bambi III?



Would have been a better movie IMO if they sent Captain Picard instead of the SPACE MURRINES!!!

Not that I'm against a good Aliens vs Space Marines movie, just don't want one that makes them look like a bunch of racist derps.
