We were at the movies a few weeks ago and the preview was shown of Avatar. My decision was made immediately that I would "NOT" spend my money on this movie.

The movie is anti-West and ANTI-Military.

In Hollywierd-speak, the term "white" = Anglo-Europeans,

Protestants, Messianic/Orthodox Jews & Devout Catholics,

Bible-reading,

GOD-fearing/ worshipping,

gun-bearing,

game-hunting,

hard-working,

log-splitting,

fur-wearing,

child-bearing people.

I don’t agree with the whole “white” argument here. The movie was about as anti-America, and anti-Bush as you could get. Visually impressive for sure, and fun as long as you didn’t care about the whole plot and dialog. I openly laughed at several lines because they were so blatant. It was a fun movie and I definitely talked to my kids about it before & after we saw it.

I recently saw a promo for this crapfest on TV. It is an anti-capitalist screed. It is slickly packaged anti-capitalist and anti-industrial poop.

Haven’t seen it so I can’t poo-poo it. A review I read likened it to a “Sci-fi Dances with Wolves” where the soldier goes native.

Yeah, but the actors are only slightly more animated than Kevin Costner.

I saw "Avatar" at a I.T.-vendor-sponsored event back on Friday. Since it cost me nothing but 3 hours of my time, I agree with the assessment.

Having been a long-time fan of James Cameron, his infantile perception of the Military and Industrialization has the naivety of a ten-year-old girl (apologies to intelligent 10-year-old girls everywhere).

Technically, the movie is flawless. Cameron & his team put forth considerable effort in realizing a technical marvel of movie-making.

Unfortunately, he did not spend very much effort in story, plot, pacing, dialogue, and character development. James Horner's music score was 'phoned in' and Cameron's amateurish direction of the military characters is laughable.

In summary, New Line Pictures gave $300 million to Peter Jackson who gave us 9 hours of 'Lord of the Rings'. In the context of ROI, New Line invested very wisely while 20th Century Fox did not. In the context of repeat-viewings, Jackson gave us our money's worth while Cameron did not.

'Avatar' is emotionally top-heavy, intellectually void and won't match "Titanic's" success.

It's just a movie.

The greedy corporate interests mining the planet included characters who were white and non-white humans. The creepy comment regarding race had to do with 'human' race not white. The indigenous people of the planet worshiped the nature around them and the planet as their deity... much like Al Gore LOL! BUT also like many primitive cultures on this planet have done. This is a work of complete fiction. It was very interesting to watch the animation and 3-D technology.

If this was trying to indoctrinate someone - it did a poor job of it. Avatar is not a 'deep' movie and no contender against the likes of Tolkien. Avatar is enjoyable escapist fiction.

"The fact that quite a few among the predominantly white audience cheered for this movie shows that anti-white hatred and stereotypes have become so widespread and accepted that most people cannot even see it, least of all whites themselves."

That's because your top economic leaders manufacture the stereotypes, then try to pit groups against each other. They sponsor the media broadcasts, the "education" and all political parties. It's an old tactic of empire to divide colonial groups in order to keep them from attacking the fearful leaders for their traitorous deeds and thieveries.

Oh, and I agree with a critic’s published negative assessment: “Avatar is the World’s Most Expensive PC Screensaver.”

Evil white men.
Technology.
The Marines.
Business.
The West.

Good little noble naked blue savages.

Sounds like Copenhagen. Or Washington DC.

Hehehe my sentiments exactly. Hollywood has gotten paid for me to watch a release in a theater twice in my life, and I didn’t personally pay either time. The last time was over ten years ago. That’s my personal commitment to not supporting them. Same for television. My life is perfect enjoyable without having watched anything but TCM for years. I’m ready to get rid of the TV altogether now because even TCM is flaunting its bias in less and less subtle ways. Not to mention they’re showing too much crud from the late 60s, the 70s, and beyond. I don’t care how they try to spin it, those are NOT the era of classic film.

Its definitely a paen to white libs, call it liberal’s white supremacy. This anti-white shtick has become a self parody though, that frankly won’t last long. Out in the world this self-flaggelation will look to be silly self congratulating and little else.

Basically, the white characters are portrayed as brutal, greedy and insensitive beasts who rape the environment and destroy other cultures with a smile in the search for profit.

Are we to defend and emulate such?

While I respect your opinion, James Cameron begs to differ, as does his fellow leftist Sigourney Weaver. As do many leftist reviewers who are cheering it for the same reasons cited here.

Those concerns were sufficient to convince me not to pay the full-fare ticket, anyway.

Is Barack Obama perhaps a Hollywood avatar?
