Flash Movie Review: Avatar!
In celebration of the 3 month anniversary of Helen leaving me for the second and only-last time, I went to the movies this weekend and watched Avatar. It was ok. It doesn't hold a goddamned candle to the greatest 3-D movie of all time, The Creature From The Black Lagoon. But when not compared to that, and if you can manage to side-step James Cameron's enormous ego (yes, he did pull off Terminator and Aliens, I'll give him that), Avatar ends up being an ok/watchable flick. Here's my official review of the film, in 85 words or less.
It’s like watching Dances With Wolves, if Kevin Costner had swallowed a box of day-glow colored Crayola crayons, and then found a way to construct previously used buffalo bones into brand new technology 3-D glasses, and then painted all the Native Americans up to look like 10 foot tall hairless blue house cats, and then in an attempt to keep the real life drama pumping threw in a bit somewhere near the end of the whole thing in which Sigourney Weaver winds up tragically dead.
Sincerely,
Get in the car, Helen
