I will wait for it on Bluray.

It comes out here this week. Looking forward to seeing it.

I think might I’ll go see it and just ignore any political subtext underneath it all.

I’m not a big movie go’er, but every few years I might see a spat of them in a few months, and I doubt they’re all ‘FR’ approved, so what?

In the video ads, Avatar came across like a big screen fancy ass cartoon with a $300 million budget. I thought maybe Cameron got his funding from Obama.

Now I know the whole story. Liberal claptrap!

Think I'll watch the Duke in Fort Apache tonight.

Since I don’t now, never did, plan on seeing it - no spoiler warning required.

" REVIEW: Jim Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ Is a Big, Dull, America-Hating, PC Revenge Fantasy "

I figured that out just from the trailer. Sigourney Weaver ain't gonna save it.

Titanic worked BECAUSE it appealed to liberals and conservatives... rich and poor - young and old.

Maybe next time James Cameron can make a movie that ONLY appeals to old Ethiopians - and gives the finger to every other racial and age group... then be stunned it doesn't pull in the big bucks.

That said, I'll wait to see the movie - Cameron is usually entertaining and always worth the price of the ticket. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now - and hope he didn't really give half the people in the United States - the middle finger. Including me.

While I dig the Roger Dean look of the movie, I've been burned every time I have paid to see a movie for the FX. I just get bored, and every review of the story and characters ends up apologizing for them or making the moronic point that you HAVE to have a cliched story in something this mega-huge, or something.

The folks really high to see this movie remind me of the people who like those Japanese hardcore cartoons, and animal-people sex stories. Cameron sounds like a jerk, and while people say 'Yeah, but his movies rock', I find his stuff tedious and childish. Imagine if someone with a Peckinpah or Kurosawa-like sensibility had these tools to make a movie. Their politics might not've been mine but they had more going on in their movies so one could ignore any disagreements there, which is the case with great art almost all the time.

Cameron's got the taste of a brat, and some of the things that turn him on are freakin weird. Endless battles? Well, I dunno--I'm in my forties, seeing stuff blow up just isn't that interesting to me anymore.

I could tell from the trailers it just Dances With Wolves on another planet with Blue Indians.

but the stupids will lap it up..

I saw a trailer for it about a month or so ago. You got the entire essense of the politics of the movie very quickly. I knew this would be one I would be avoiding with ease.

Jar Jar Binks was a pain to begin with.

Why pay good money to see his blue cousins?
