re: na'vi tactics
i was thinking they were gonna hide out on the floating mountains and like dump giant boulders onto the flying machines. but not. deej is right that there were a lot of missed opportunities for actual/interesting battle tactics in that final fight (which was surprisingly rushed for the battle-action climax of a contemporary adventure film).
and i dunno where s1ocki's review ran, but it's true abt the inversion of aliens thing. seemed very obviously intentional on cameron's part.

there were these kids sitting in front of me that were too young (in the 4-6 range) and they kept turning to their dad asking 'is that guy gonna be okay?'. i wish i had brought my flask and made a drinking game of it.

re: final battle & disappointment
for one thing they said they rode out on the 4 winds or whatever, i thought that meant we would get at least 4 different types of mounts. also there should've been some even bigger badasser thing they could've ridden into battle, i paid 12.50 for this shit, where's my fucking wormsign?

this remark from Cameron to Peter "LOTR" Jackson made me tense:
Cameron: But they've also lost the courage to make, frankly, a movie like Avatar, which is a blockbuster-scaled movie not based on prior arc. All the blockbusters of the last four years, like Transformers, Harry Potter, Spider-Man—they're all films based on other films or part of a franchise

such a red herring, that argument. who gives a shit about original material as long as the end result is good.

They should do, like, little serialized 20 minute sequels to stick in front of future 3-D features. It'd be cheaper and shorter. Blue people gather nuts and berries. Blue people plan a surprise party. Blue kids' first day at school. Like Berenstain Bears or something. They lived in a tree, too, right?

Papyrus was so lols. I could not fucking believe it. Also how in 3D that the subtitles just kind of float there & are sometimes not in the foreground.
