Ecological disaster has long been a hallmark motif in many science fiction stories and movies, from "The Day of the Triffids," where alien plants take over earth to "Them," the classic science-fiction movie about ants transformed into giant arthropods by the atomic bomb.
In the Hugo-winning science fiction novel "The Sheep Look Up" by John Brunner, (perhaps the ultimate environmental disaster novel), the final solution to stopping the environment from being destroyed by man is to kill off the most "wasteful" nation on earth, the American people!
James Cameron's new sci-fi extravaganza, "Avatar," set to open Friday, says virtually the same thing, but on a bigger scale. The major problem with "Avatar" is that Cameron tells a story that hates people.
In the story, a group of nature-worshipping aliens triumph over the greedy, evil human corporations that want to destroy their planet. The aliens eventually send the humans back to a dying earth to die. How marvelous!
If you think this sounds as if Al Gore wrote the script for "Avatar," not James Cameron, you may be right. This theme of kill all the humans, especially the pro-American, capitalist humans, has long been an underlying message of the left-wing, environmentalist movement, beginning with Rachel Carson's hysterical plea to ban DDT, even though, to this day, there is no evidence that DDT is harmful to humans or the environment, and even though the use of DDT can save millions of human lives from the deadly disease of malaria.
Many millions of malaria deaths later, along comes "Avatar" to, once again, cast human beings, especially militaristic capitalists, as the super-villain and to create heroes out of a bunch of pagan primitives who have achieved an idyllic, but impossible, at-one-ment with nature.

I'll be damned if I'm going to spend money on this crap, for myself or anyone in my family.
Let's help this big budget cow chip go down in flames! Spread the word FR!
I could tell from the previews the bad guys were going to be the marines and evil capitalists so I made up my mind then to not give it any money.
Sounds like Obummer’s death panels. I guess it will be a cold day in hell when they make a movie when the bad guys are environmental Chicken Littles and liberal bullies.
I just linked this at FaceBook. Hopefully, others will share from there. Really a shame.
McDonald’s has the alien figures from this dog of a movie in their Happy Meals.
The Commies were right: capitalists will sell the rope that will be used to hang them.
When my Leftist friends (a dwindling group) start talking about how bad humans are for the earth, I always ask them this: Are you going to join the Voluntary Human Extinction Program? I know the VHEP would love to have them!
I can’t wait to download the Divx of Avatar and make a pro-capitalist mashup and put it online to piss Cameron off
We figured this out in October.
If your theater is set up properly, buy a ticket for another movie, and use it to see this one. Its what I’ll be doing, since I still want to see the effects, but have no interest in supporting the message.
If you have a thing for nine-foot tall blue women with tails, this is the movie for you!
It did have a plot---written by ART BELL! Yes, THE Art Bell of "Coast to Coast" infamy, the late-night radio show about aliens and ghosts. Art Bell and Al Gore apparently have more scientific street cred than the 12 Nobel winners who appear in the Global Warming Swindle" to totally refute AGW.
What I’ve never understood is that most of these wingnuts are also atheistic evolution proponents. My question to them is WHY DO YOU CARE??? If we are all just a random assortment of atomic particles without purpose and the entire planet is going to end in a fiery death a gillion years from now, then why bother with the details. They have no answer to that question.
They should have used this song for the soundtrack:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/hyperdrive/killthehumans.shtml
Kill the humans, end the culture;
Kill the humans, kill them all;
Kill the humans, end the culture;
Kill the humans, by the millions;
Cannot think of a more appropriate song for the movie Avatar.
Now that's funny. And accurate.
