Back a few weeks ago when I reviewed Avatar, I knew it was a big deal to a lot of people. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal though. It is, after all, just a movie.
Then I hear some things here and there… And then it wins a few big Golden Globes… Now I become annoyed, and hence I blog.
So the award thing is pretty annoying. I just hope the academy awards don’t turn out the same.
What’s really been a wonder for me is the effect the movie seems to be having on some… The people who feel “depressed” because our world is just so boring in comparison to Pandora (I’m not making this up)…
My response to this? Get an F***ing life. If that’s the way you feel, then you haven’t seen the world you’re inhabiting.
Seriously… I’ve done a fair amount of traveling, but not that much. From what I’ve seen and know is out there, our world is just as amazing in it’s splendor, and a billion times more amazing in it’s realism.

Well, sadly now that the Oscar noms have been announced, it’s just a question of which three films will win Best Picture and it’s down to “Avatar”, “The Hurt Locker” and “Inglourious Basterds” … I don’t know yet which way the votes will swing because it’s a little early to get a sense of the buzz but hopefully it won’t be Cameron’s mo-cap extravaganza … what’s worse is that he got a screenplay nomination … what’s next, George Lucas getting one?
