I've been raiding the new town's library DVDS and watching those movies that I wouldn't pay to rent but would watch for free. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I Love you Man, Away We Go. They were decent movies. Away we go was kind of depressing which I wasn't expecting but good. Hamlet 2 was hillarious with a decent message attached. I mean I gafawed at this movie. Going to see either 9 or Sherlock Holmes for Christmas and then get me some duck after.

= AVATAR --- Great 3-D special effects. Tired storyline.

saw avatar. same verdict- amazing effects, tired & predictable storyline. watched inglorious basterds last night. pretty good and very funny in parts.

Avatar - loved it, can't wait to see it again. Yeah, it's a familiar story, but I thought it was told very well. And I think Cameron did an especially good job and doing what Lucas tried to retroactively do with the Star Wars prequels, i.e. giving the concepts found in religion and spirituality a literal context. The way the Na'vi were literally able to connect with every living thing on the planet, was done a hell of a lot better than Lucas' "The Force comes from having a high concentration of Midichlorians in the bloodstream" bullshit.

i wonder when they'll make one of these humans/americans/westerners save the primitives with a non-white actor in the future. (or has it been done already?) and avatar was long as heck and i had a headache at the end of it all. aaaand it really is Fern Gully with gorgeous Smurfs for adults. aaand there were a few visual references that kind of annoyed me for some reason. but it wasn't terrible (like lucas' star wars prequels/garbage)... just wasn't that great either... and spending what amounts to the GDP of a small nation on this is... :(
to be honest i think Sam Worthington's character was better written in that garbage Terminator 4. he did that hybrid conflicted but choosing the "primitives" in the end thing well... even if the very end was stupid as hell.

anyway, i watched Abyss when it was on late at night a few days after Avatar... that was a great movie until the very end where the Aliens tell that same tired ass motherfucking story about them destroying humanity or not preventing its destruction because of all the terrible things we do to each other but then they witness an act of human love up close they find something worth saving. ARGH! fuck that.

Now... District 9... that's a not-so-tired and hilarious white person saves the "primitives" movie. I remember when it came out some ppl were complaining about it being crypto-racist, but seriously... the idiotic white guy doesn't save the day only because he wants to save his own ass after trying every single thing else imaginable.

i guess i wish avatar was revolutionary in its storyline as it was with its effects.

I guess I didn't have a problem with the story 'cause I think it's still one worth telling.

And besides, hasn't Will Smith saved Earth in like three or four different movies?!? LOL! And from what I've heard from people who saw it, Chiwetel Ejifor (along with an Asian) was the man with the plan in 2012.
