RUN, do not walk, to see AVATAR!
I don't say that very often, but I was completely enthralled by this spectacle of a movie. I gasped, I laughed and I even shed a tear or two. Of course, this being Cameron, the script is a bit weak but I didn't even care.
Yes, Blue is the new Sexy (and the new Green)
(I can't even imagine conservatives hating it, but they probably will. ;))
serious crayons:
New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis was interviewed on Jezebel a couple of days ago. It's a good interview overall, but here's an excerpt of particular interest to Brokies:
Let's acknowledge that the Oscars are bullshit and we hate them. But they are important commercially... I've learned to never underestimate the academy's bad taste. Crash as best picture? What the fuck.

We, the husband, the son and your's truly, saw it this evening and it is GOOD! Go and see it folks. We didn't see it in 3D since I only can see with one eye.

I'm so glad you liked it, Berit!
I was just telling my friend - I called everyone, lol! - that the film would be just as good without the 3D effect because it's not done in a gimmicky manner, it just is. I'm sure the film would still be visually stunning in 2D.
One thing that bothered me though was Sam Worthington's voice when he was Nav'i-Jake. It kept reminding me of Mel Gibson! Ewww! :laugh:

I just saw AN EDUCATION and quite enjoyed it , it has a very intelligent script and it's chock-full of wonderful performances, the young lead is a revelation. Oh and I didn't realize that Rosamund Pike was in it and I love her! Not sure why they cast Peter Sarsgaard but he seemed fine in the role, I can't really judge how good his accent is, though. I kept thinking Dominic Cooper should have had the role.
