I love reall...Yeah, we should definately go for it. I love really random stuff. As an example, see The Sarah Silverman Program episode from last week, Slip Slope (or something), when the crack guy draws the garden show guy. It is completely moronic, yet I couldn't stop laughing.<br /><br />Anyway, so the hippies break into the evil (in their opinion) corporation..<br /><br />[HIPPIE] Open the cages! Let the animals go!<br /><br />[CORPORATE TYPE] Not so fast, weedo! Those animals are held in protective custody!<br /><br />[H] You can't cage animals, man! They deserve their freedom as much as we do!<br /><br />[CT] These animals come frome some place where some ancient graves or something were unearthed, and some frozen corpses that died of some kind of plague long ago or something, and with the eating and the infection, and this isn't in our immune system anymore, so we're all gonna die unless we extract some stuff from the animals to make medicine. Yeah, sure, we'll also make a profit, but it's for the good of humanity. Humanitarians, that's what we are.<br /><br />[H] Oh MAAAAAAAAAAAN.<br /><br />See? It practically writes itself. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444376138297002474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-44844613113413034272010-02-22T16:29:34.844-05:002010-02-22T16:29:34.844-05:00I see the roll. [MORE LAUGHTER].
Thanks for your...I see the roll. [MORE LAUGHTER].<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts on this one H! I'm glad I'm not alone. Cameron is just so damn preachy it's a touch painful.<br /><br />I should watch it again. Some of it is very very good, even the performances are solid, especially the actress who played the Navi girl. But it was generally forgettable unlike Wikus in District 9.<br /><br />Your suggestion for a movie idea is absolutely freakin' classic. It's hysterical and you know, it might just work! It's out there and clever. Hmmm, we should start scripting immediately.<br /><br />A refreshing post as always!

I'm on a commenting roll today. ;)
I sa...Hey,<br /><br />I'm on a commenting roll today. ;)<br /><br />I saw Avatar 3D too, and I have such mixed feelings about this.<br /><br />The technical part of it, the 3D, the visuals, Pandora, all that stuff - amazing. Never done better, of course, and really awe-inspiring to look at. Even a few of the trailers before the movie were in 3D, and I also thought this was a huge step in the right direction. 3D is obviously here to come. And we just got HD on one of our major channels here in time for the olympics..<br /><br />Then we come to the parts I didn't like so much. As you and many others have pointed out, the plot is fairly simple - we've seen it before, hundereds of times. But Cameron at times gets so preachy that I want to to pour a barrel of quicksilver on a lapp (that's our version of the indians, the old raindeer-lovers that lived here before us civilized folk) just to compensate. Oh yeah, corporations are evil. See Team America: World Police for a good commentary on this tiresome theme and a few others.<br /><br />What I would actually love to see is a movie where some hippies want to tear down the evil corporation and turn out to be really wrong. It probably isn't a great base for a movie, but it would be SO refreshing. :)<br /><br />Anyway - Avatar - probably on my top 30 of the decade for the technical achievements, but the story gave me little.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444376138297002474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-34323304876345554212010-01-26T21:47:13.051-05:002010-01-26T21:47:13.051-05:00Oh and one more thing, it's a damn sight bette...Oh and one more thing, it's a damn sight better than the dreadful Michael Bay turd Transformers and that made a killing.
