Hollywood (or wherever they produce them these days), always hammering you over the head with their message:

corporations, military, America, Christians = Bad

"indiginous people," hippies, communists, atheists and Muslims = good

Really really tired of their crap.

Last night's episodes of NCIS and NCIS-LA followed that Muslimes good, Christians bad pattern.

I'll probably borrow a copy of the movie just to see the special effects and simply ignore the messages, but it really is getting old being treated like a five-year-old by a bunch of elitist idiots.

I don’t plan to see it and here are the reasons. If you can’t come up with a better name than the stupid inane one “Avatar” which just happens to also be the name of an anime cartoon then no amount of money can save it. I don’t want to encourage that behavior. This is clearly a throw enough money at it deal. I am a big fan of the first two Aliens Movies but I’ve just not been impressed with a lot of Cameron’s stuff. I didn’t go to the movies to watch Titanic though I did watch it and it was ok. This movie has the feel of a Kevin Costner boondoggle and appears to be just another example of Hollywood self important largess. The worst part is there are so many classic sci-fi/fantasy stories and worlds that deserve to be brought to life and instead we get this crap? I’m sure it is beautifully done but it still doesn’t make it worthwhile.

I was caught offguard by that too. It was pretty pathetic and made for a lousy episode. I'll see Avatar knowing what to expect and enjoy the effects while ignoring the message.
