Okay, I have no idea what point you are trying to make. Surely it MUST be my fault. So I will break down everything......

1. Avatar was and will always be just a movie
a. It is made up fiction
b. It can only carry as much meaning as I gave it.

2. Yes it played on the greedy Western culture of take, take and rape.
a. This is liberal propaganda, which I detest.
b. Therefore I treated as meaningless fiction because I gave it no value

3. I put Jesus before everyone and everything
a. I would not go and watch a gay Jesus movie.
b. Not a thousand gay Jesus movies could ever take away from Jesus
c. Neither did Avatar take anything away in my eyes
1. It was make believe
2. My beliefs are not founded on make believe

4. I can see why some would take offense
a. I chose not to give anyone that much power.
b. Any message they were pushing was wasted on me.
c. I enjoyed the story for what it was, a story.

5. I am free to decide who I give my money to.
a. Sometimes I have paid for one movie and watched another.
b. This can greatly add to the enjoyment

6. I can separate fantasy from reality.
a. I am free to do so
b. This is America and no movie is going to quell my love for her.

could it be (rumored) the copyright lawsuit over the avatar story?

could it be that avatarland will not be ready in the Disney animal kingdom park?

(it is still just dances with smurfs. )

I think they’re going to find the world has moved on. The intervening years have allowed the world to realize it’s just not that good a movie.

“Okay, I have no idea what point you are trying to make. “

So you do not recognize anything YOU posted?
I linked you to it.

"Please don’t act like a liberal and label anyone who disagrees with you."
"But you are calling me a liberal or at least saying I am speaking like one."
"Are you a liberal in disguise? I see no attempt at resolution. Just another childish outburst."
So not only do you call others a liberal first, you keep it up, then claim victimhood..like a liberal.
Along with YOUR childish outburst.

Fine, but to me it was not interesting or amusing, Avatar was just boring drivel. I saw separate 15 minute snatches and some of the end. ZZZZzzzzzzzz

Maybe a good movie to take your grade school kiddies. YMMV

See their post 32.
They were somewhat offended that someone did not like this greatest of movies.

It may have eaten Gargamel, and is now on to eating the others.

Avatar makes sense if you are stoned. It becomes “awesome”

This is so childish. You accuse, I simply ask questions and and are then blamed for calling you something WHICH I DID NOT!!!

Fact!!! Liberals always make something out of nothing

This is finished

” Liberals always make something out of nothing”

Like you have been doing since post 32?
“ calling you something WHICH I DID NOT!!!”

Uh, yes you did, and I quoted you directly and gave links.
Sorry little feller, but your words are right there in black and white.
If you don’t like that it is hardly my problem.
