_Avatar_, directed by James Cameron

nice.

anyway i watched the avatar blu the same night as the last airbender and despite my mixed-to-negative feelings about this movie, holy shit does every single moment of it blow that stinker out of the water, not even teh same league

at the time were you thinking "goddammit i will watch something called avatar: the last airbender even if i have to put it together myself!!"

haha i actually used that as the peg for my column that week

shymalan just seems incapable of making a film with any forward momentum whatsoever

cameron works better when his villains are not people

stunning insight i know

that's a true lie

i never saw that! the villain was an old telephone, right?

this movie and the Lost finale are my two "never forgive, never forget" media experiences of recent memory. hype hype hype and then soul-crushingly bad writing.

but still, robot knife fight.

are you sure it was a plane

avatar didn't totally work for me for various reasons but i gotta say i'm glad cameron is making these types of films, though when i say "making" and "films" i guess it should be noted that he's only made two in 16 years but still...

i think the word 'still' should have been in quotes too

i should have put "films" in in double quotes

tbh i think titanic still holds up

kinda the same structure as aliens

But with the disadvantage that you didn't want to know more about any of the people going on the boat

I know Paul Reiser. You, Billy Zane, are no Paul Reiser.

billy zane owns dude

owns A dude

are you saying he's a slave owner or

I'm not saying... I'm just

omg @ terror train

At a college pre-med student fraternity New Year's Eve party, a reluctant Alana Maxwell is coerced into participating in a prank: she lures the shy and awkward pledge Kenny Hampson into a darkened room on the promise of a sexual liaison. However some other students have placed a woman's corpse in the bed.

where does the train come in

maybe they run a train on the corpse

that joke was hugely appreciated by me

i think i actually guffawed

this made me grin like idiot

funny make me grin like idiot

grin like BEAR

it was a tough opp to pass up

too tough

Huh.

I hope it's a "flight simulator" type ride and not a "fornicate with your horse via your tail simulator" type ride

That ever elusive next level.

fornicate-with-your-horse-via-your-tail simulator, in case that was unclear, although I guess a tail simulator would be a by-product of any such ride anyway

bleh.

So, when does this movie come out?

Supposed to be a big deal, right?

3-D or something?
