I just watched Avatar again and it's message has so much more meaning since the Gulf of
Mexico oil accident. The part where Jake Sully's avatar prays to the Navi Goddess Eiywa and tells her that he comes from a planet that has no green anymore because his people had killed their Goddess left me in tears. The oceans are the last living part of this planet that humans haven't completely left their footprint on and now we are doing to them what we have done to all our wilderness places and they are the last bodies left for us to destroy. I can remember when I was a child that there were still vast parts of Africa and South America that weren't reshaped by man to suit the needs and greed of the invading humans. They have mostly disappeared. I'm really feeling more helpless now than I have in a long time.
Before Reagan came to Washington and removed all the solar panels from the roof of the White House, there was a strong environmental movement that looked like it might take hold and change the way we treat our Mother Earth. It's just a distant memory now. I know, we are allowed to think we are making a difference by recycling and little green things we do, but we aren't making a dent in the wholesale destruction of this planet by big business. Apparently, we have lost and they have won.
from 30 rock...
Nancy: Hey how you doing. You see Avatar?
Man: Yeah that new 3D is amazing.
Nancy: Yeah I dunno, I found myself rooting for our boys in uniform, not those blue hippies. But full disclosure I had a couple of drinks prior to.
heh...

Here's a clue, retards... it's F-I-C-T-I-O-N. :whatever:

To a DUmmie, fiction=reality.... :hammer:
Funny how they advocate praying to any god or goddess imaginable EXCEPT God.... :mental:
If they TRULY want to help the planet, mass suicide would be a good start....

^ It's funny because there was a story out a while back about people commiting suicide after watching "Avatar" because "We're never going to have the society they have in Avatar.
:bawl:
:lmao:

don't you just love that myth of the "noble native american?" "protecting the environment?" my god, what bullshit.
if you open at least one book in your life, you will discover that the native american was a savage f'ing beast. doing what he needed to do ensure the livelihood of his own. killing, raping, pillaging, driving thousands of buffalo over a cliff to get the meat of a few. are you dummys really that stupid?
i don't begrudge him. but yet i will not worship him.
dude was doing what dude had to do.
no different than the folks you so pc hate today.
you might want to look at that.
oh wait... i forgot... you don't like to self-examine all that much.
do you?

to make that movie realistic it should have been:
Hi friends
All we want are some nicee blue rocks.
In exchange we have beads and viagra!
okay humans.
the end

First time I heard about that. Went and found a couple articles. I may vomit. What is wrong with people?

So much the worse for them. :-)
How many do they have, anyway?

The same thing happened when the Matrix came out in 1999. It was pathetic then, and it's pathetic now :lmao:

Didn't know that at all, but I was in Middle School then in Ohio, so I had other more important kid things to burden my mind with.
I often wish I could go back to being a kid, with no worries of current events/where the world is going. It would just be a lot simpler.
Ahhh, to reminisce.

That's because they are S-T-U-P-I-D! :mental:

They're also depressed because they can't get one of those really cool purple ponies like the Na'vi have.
Actually, a DUmmy wouldn't last very long in that environment. They'd discover that sooner or later their asses would have to roll out of the hammock and actually do something for the existence of the tribe - hunt, gather firewood, something. That and the fact that there are no pot plants would be a deal-breaker.

Hey lurking DUmbasses! If you think Avatar represents reality, then by all means go out into the jungle. Don't worry about the Poison Arrow Frogs, Pythons, Caimans, Fire Ants, Killer Bees, various lethal spiders, Malaria and other diseases. Nature is one big happy family!
-
Avatar had great graphics...for a backwards spaghetti Western. Good injun...bad cowboy... :yawn:
Did you ever wonder where they got their food? All the characters I saw were running around "playing indians." Who was hunting, gathering, tending fields, cooking, making clothing, tending babies? Did they have slaves? Were they "raping" their "mother earth" for food? If they had such a warrior culture, could it be because they normally battled the other tribes and stole from them? :rotf:
Of course, DUmmies usually reside in big cities, so don't even know how food gets to grocery stores, let alone how primitive tribes survived.

I think that Cleita is going to make my list for 2010. She's just moonbattery in its purest form.
I saw those articles/TV pieces on the Avatar suicides. They showed a couple of guys (anatomically, I guess), weeping and wailing over the fact that Earth will never be Pandora. They looked straight out of a DUmmie picture thread. Doughy, pasty, repulsive.

Well, Cleita, that's because you are an idiot.

They can always move to New Guinea, I think they still have cannibals there

DUmmies would be safe. No dietary value whatsoever, as they are all just full of shit!

I just saw the movie for the first time this week. Ya I liked it more than I thought I would. Did I side with the natives? Yes, but who the hell woulden't? It's not like Cameron diden't make the "evil" humans so vile that you would WANT to side with them. :thatsright:
In the end, I liked it but saw so many cliche's and retreaded scenes from his other movies they were almost distracting.
I agree with many reviewers that the visuals were fantastic, but the story line was old, tired, and used an ending that was infantile.
It was still a good "check your brain at the door" movie.
Why the DUmmies are so apeshit over it is beyond my understanding.
-
I'll probably be forced to watch it when my grandkids bring it here on DVD. Otherwise I have no interest one way or the other. After I read the DUmmies political hand wringing, I lost all interest.
-
I didn't side with the aliens. All the humans wanted was some rocks so they can go back to save the human race.
Greedy giant smurfs!
-
I watched Avatar in a hotell a couple of weeks ago...
Didn't get it. Bored me. Way to friggen long and way to predictable.

And this is bad .. how??

Another thing that gets me about so many of these movies is the way the native religions actually work. ::) We have a God powerful enough to speak energy into existence, move planets and suns into place in the universe, create life with a breath...and they go looking elsewhere for religion that works?? :mental: :mental: :mental:

Avatar is living proof that you can dress a tired old turd of a story up enough with pretty lights and catchy effects, and people will still eat that shit up with a spoon.
And also another piece of proof (as if I needed any more) that Hollywood, at its core, hasn't had an original idea in 30 years.

Ain't that the truth! Gimme the old Film noir oldies anyday!

30 years. That only goes back to 1980. Today, Hollywood makes "films", not "movies"....
Try 50+ years for a real movie.... (Although I have to admit, "An American Carol" was pretty decent....)
-
My favorite line in the movie was when bad ass commando (can never remember character names) claims to the lusty blue dude "I just got back from my deployment in Argentina"...yeah! We kicked Hugo's great great grandsons azz, betcha :yahoo:

which is pretty much why anyone that saw avatar in 3d on an imax screen thought it was cool, and anyone that saw it on a dvd was all "meh..." damn! those "special effects" can overwhelm a simple mind.
dances with wolves only this time starring blue hippies.
but that is the purpose of movies and television. to provide libtards with a glimpse of never-to-exist worlds that they would love to live in. remember that tv show "the west wing?" how many dummys that voted for obama were thinking they were going to get martin sheen as president? or that movie "v for vendetta" where every progressive puke could be a "bad ass" for the cause from the comfort and safety of mom's basement via blue-ray. just by yelling "f*ck yeah" as the miscreants got over on the "man."
all of the "superior thinkers" on du that hate "propaganda" and don't allow their "thoughts" to be "swayed" by the the media... are allowing themselves just that.
except it's not "propaganda" if its what a dummy believes.
no.
then it is simply what dummys love to call "the truth!"
rationalization. the opiate of the uninformed mind...
:loser:

For them, it's an affirmation of faith.
