Visually stunning it was, and so too lousy with hoary left-wing, anti-American, anti-Republican cliches.
“James Cameron’s 3-D sci-fi epic earned $1.02 billion.”
Can he make a 3-D movie that will pay off our national debt too? ;-)
Won’t get a penny of my money.
Too bad. This has been a banner year for Hollywood, which I’m afraid means that they will encouraged to make even more cr*ppy movies.
I passed on Avatar and went to see Sherlock Holmes because my daughter was praising Avatar and it’s left wing lean. She said she wanted to live in a tree! (LOL - yeah...with her closet full of shoes) Sherlock Holmes was very fun. Loved it! Despite Robert Downey Jr’s dubious past - he is quite the actor and really plays the role well! Looking forward to a sequel.
Obviously the world population has too much time on their hands to see this Hollywood crapola.
I have taken Cameron’s message from this movie to heart and have decided to punish all those greedy corporations and bankers by not spending any money on this movie they made called Avatar (or as SP put it, Dances with Smurfs in Space).
Oh yeah . . . and does anybody know what the number one movie based on number of tickets sold is?
The numbers don’t make sense. $68 million in North America should be at leastt 50% ot the total.
Finally saw Avatar last night on IMAX. Midnight show sold out (Manhattan). Visually breathtaking. The bias (worse than I thought) drove me nuts, of course. So I join the loved-it-but-hated-it crowd.
This is *not* a good movie to be playing overseas. It plays into so many stereotypes about the USA.
I told a friend that watching Avatar is like watching 3 hours of the BBC’s Planet Earth. That same mesmerizing feeling.
Tiddlywinks.
Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had sales of $310 million in North America and the UK alone in just 24 hours.
After just 5 days, the game had racked up sales of a staggering $550 million in the US and the UK alone.
Meanwhile, the Avatar video game bombed.

This has been a long weekend of movies for me, and I NEED to see a really GOOD one. Actually, I did see one: the new Disney Princess movie. The Princess and the Frog. For once, Disney’s princess has a dream that she knows takes years of hard work to achieve. She is not after only finding her prince. She happens to fall in love, but it’s not her only goal in life.
The animation was sensational and HAND DRAWN. The location is New Orleans, so the music was excellent. The characters were wonderful. The story was quite original. Conservatives, take your kids to this one without fear.
I felt that “Up in the Air” and “Sherlock Holmes” were serious meh. Even though the stars were some serious eye candy for us girls.
Sadly tonight Jim Cameron gets some bucks from us. I have teenage boys, sorry.
BUT, the next three shows were sold out! Even the regular Avatar 3D was sold out all night. So we saw Sherlock Holmes instead.
BTW, this was on the upper west side of Manhattan. This is going to be the biggest grossing movie ever.
It was like watching and listening to a blender full of marbles for 3 hours.
Capitalism, A Love Story.
You have to be some strange breed of disgusting cretin to root for a global corporation that hires mercenaries to murder thousands of women and children (even if they are blue). The hero is a (former) Marine who does the right thing.
Yes, there was leftwing propaganda dispersed, but I enjoyed the movie thoroughly.
This is bullcrap. Adjust the dollars back to the movies they are being compared to. It’s 7-8 bucks to see a movie now. Star Wars in 1977 dollars probably kicks this movies’ ass.
I’m ashamed at the number of freepers who supported this dreck. Won’t make the tiniest sacrifice to fight liberalism. Depressing.
