What did you think of the movie? "Capturing peoples' hearts.....you mean like those idiots that want to kill themselves because Pandora doesn't exist??" I would say it's a pretty powerful movie if it moves people that much. Thanks for destroying your own argument for me.

"YEAH YEAH GET SOME!"

Because you are reading all those reviews from places like this which have no base in reality. They are just propaganda pieces meant to keep you from attending the movie. Avatar is cleaning house for a reason. It's because it actually is a good movie, and it's capturing people's hearts. Try actually watching it instead of reading the spin about it and you might just see what I mean.

I sit in amazement after having actually seen the movie and then reading and watching all the drek and lies and spin meant to asswage the heard from attending and deciding for themselves. There are so many people now who will not go and see this very neat film that's capturing people's hearts because of their political beliefs. To me, that's just unacceptable ignorance. To dismiss the allegories as anti-american is a propoganda move. Even if they do for some reason see the movie they will only be seeing the spin now. The way this movie has been attacked from the right is just pathetic. You see, I used to be right wing. I know what these people are thinking. And I know where they are coming from. It's just they are so very wrong. And for someone who has not even seen the movie to bash it because they read about it on some re re webpage is a travesty. But I am so thankful so many people are responding rationally and positively to this movie. In just six weeks it attained #1 in the world when it took Titanic 22 weeks. Just like Titanic, Avatar captured peoples hearts. The right can try to spin spin spin all they want, but ultimately their efforts on pages such as this have failed. No rational thinking person actually takes any of this negative stuff seriously. In the "arena of ideas" Avatar ultimately wins. And thank God for that.

The allegory of corporate greed fully realized is a leftist idea? The allegory of troops being used for nefarious means is leftist? The only truth to your statement is the Islamist propaganda. You see, they use the deaths of their kindred accidentally slain in this war as propaganda. To recruit more people to fight the western invasion of their land. What's even more sick and twisted is they are usually the ones doing the killing and for the most part, not our troops. But our troops aren't helping the situation at all. It's just one big clusterfu*%k over there and dunderheads like you buy it hook line and sinker. So when a movie comes around that presents allegories to these sorts of things, you obviously hate the guilt that comes up from you supporting them. So of course it's leftist and labeled as trash. Par for the course.

Unobtainium is sort of a running joke in sci-fi films. They even had it in the movie "The Core." It's basically like the wilhelm scream. "Except for his name is Mark Steyn. " Ah yes. That guy is completely off his rocker. I couldn't help but read Individualists rant in his voice. "Thanks for playing" Oh, and thank you! I enjoy it greatly.

I disagree. Driefromseattle says, "Well, I'm not going to see it because I've seen it before. I saw it when I saw "Dances With Wolves." And yet, they seem to know all about the movie from reading about it from biased drek like this article. For shame. So no. I can concede some people have their own original thoughts, but for the most part, it's mostly just sheep around here. You've seen the movie right? You have an objective view, right? Now answer truthfully. "you really are coming off as infantile with the name calling/dropping." And what would you call this by the author? "so he can get rid of his puny white body and become a big blue stud. Sounds like the worst case of white guilt/pee pee envy ever imagined. Talk about Freudian, Mr. Cameron." Sorry, but all is fair to me. Thank you for the positive feedback.

That's correct. You never did. You do understand you need to have the actual implementation of "context," already inserted, right? Tue, 2 Feb 2010 17:18:07 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jhudnall/2010/02/01/avatar-and-hollywoods-traitor-obsession/#IDComment55041019 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jhudnall/2010/02/01/avatar-and-hollywoods-traitor-obsession/#IDComment55040035 "Well, I'm not going to see it because I've seen it before." Wow, another victim of this website. Another fool who follows lock step the propaganda fed to him from people like this author. So sad. This is the level of ignorance I am talking about. "I saw it when I saw "Dances With Wolves."" FACEPALM! See what I mean? IGNORANCE! "And I'm not going to see it because I personally loathe computer generated special effects/animation done to excess." But you just said you saw it when you saw Dances with Wolves! By the way, I was in the same boat as you when it came to the special effects. I thought they were going to be really cheesy and stupid. Boy did I ever eat my words. I was completly blown away. Even most detractors of the film admit the effects are mind blowing. "And I'm also not going to see it because I don't care for John Cameron and refuse to give him any of my hard earned dollars." After reading lies and drek like this column I guess that sounds reasonable. Just further proves you can't make decisions by yourself, but you have to rely on other people to make them for you. How pathetic. "Just one question; you're mostly likely a lefty, tree hugging, CO2 hating, eco-centric" All true except that last part. Not so sure I buy into the Anthropogenic Global Warming farce. But I am pretty environmentally aware. I am an Eagle Scout after all. "Why do you own a computer? You do know that computers contain mega toxic chemicals in their makeup..... So how "green" are you really?" Aaaannndddd... The rest of your comment can be attributed to the classic example of what's called a "straw man fallacy." Imagine a fight in which one of the combatants sets up a man of straw, attacks it, then proclaims victory. All the while, the real opponent stands by untouched. Yeah, try again.

NO concept of land ownership so no concept of land rights." My point was about the movie. But your point helps make my point more valid, thank you. "By the way: when are you going back to your homeland? I've got plans for your neck of the woods. " What makes you think I'm in america?

I'm just doing what Rush does. You don't like it? Hmm... "We all are aware that you love the movie and you hate America." Yes! That's the talking points I was referring to! Ad hominem! "I would certainly take you more seriously. " Doubt it.

You can only buy it from his "website"!! LOL what a troll.

DOH! " LOL WHO ARE YOU again? Who? Sorry. Don't care. I guess if your "little" film was good, you would not be peddling it amongst the knaves so to speak. But good luck! I hope someone get's your desperate message! I hope someone watches your "little Film"!!!!! "If you think SPR is a pro troop film and you didn't catch all the little anti-war, anti-troop things in there, then there is no hope for you." Oh no. I understood them all to well. Which is why I love that film. But the right loves it too.. Don't woo wittle wrightys! "I could rip Ryan apart in a review and take each time they went after the Americans, but what would be the point." Yeah, what would be the point of pointing out reality's, just for someone to basically agree with you? I guess that would be a waste of time. I agree. "The fact you compared my film to this mega film shows me you have no idea how Hollywood works. " Sigh. Where did i compare again? Examples please? You are all bark and no bite. "I have never been envy of anyone's wealth [sic] liberal of [sic] conservative." Ummm... Ok. Cool? Good for you! "If Stone or any of these 'big spenders' were to donate part of their profits to the veterans it would be on the news like JFK's murder was." I guess it would? What does that have to do with anything? "However, we can only hear a pin drop." Ummm... What are you talking about? "This disdain of wealth by the likes of the liberals like Stone, Cameron, Moore and the rest of the super race is a trick to keep the rest of us from getting a piece." No seriously. What? Huh? A piece of what?? What the hell are you talking about? Me thinks you have a beef with someone else... and not me because you just went off on what people call a "tangent."

Of course we conservatives are going to see this movie I mean after all it is one of the greatest comediesof our age. Cameron is sure comic genius." So was it funny? What did you think of the movie? Did you laugh when the tree was destroyed? I bet you did. I mean, Conservatives do think that sort of stuff is funny. Right? LOL. You have to THINK before you type. " I mean the guy telling us that Unobtanium *snicker* is worht 20 billion" Who are you? Mark Stein? Do you fake blatantly laugh at everything that secretly pisses you off and pretend that it's all just funny? Now that is a REAL laugh! "who will wipe out a species to take their rocks would steal off their desk." Aww. That's cute you thought of that. Now lets see it through... Mark stein voice: "So they steal if off his desk. And they somehow hide it from their superiors. He hee! But guess what? HA! Their superiors just use the same scanners...hee hee haa! ... they used in the first place to find the stuff... heh (What, you didn't guess they would do that to find the person who stole it? LOL) So... What then? They will be found, tee hee haw and then probably shot or put into quarantine for the rest of the mission! LOLFROL! They have scanners for that stuff man!! LOL! Scanners! You forgot that?! LOLROLCLAP!" I guess your intelligence is really just at the level of the grunt or something. Good job! Thought that one all the way through. Man! You really are comidic gold! Just like Mark stein! He cracks up at stuff like this! "I laughed so hard I dropped my towel twice. " I bet! LOL!

" Well hey, lets make a deal! When I finally "grow up" I will sure be able to tell you all that and a bag of chips! In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy this movie and rejoice at everyone who gets to see it and has a good time! Too bad you can't join us! Your dogma says no. Which is such a pitty! See ya!
