Offensive Offense

I may have to start using 'Avatar' as a gauge of people. If you liked it, then no dice! We probably can't be friends. I hated it. Yes, the special effects were spectacular, but does that really excuse its racist and colonialist undertones? Not to mention cliched story line. Who's seen 'Fern Gully'? Anyone? Hands up? And 'Avatar' is done will less charm.

Yeah, the 3-D and new camera/computer techniques are cool. But does it make up for the shitty acting, atrocious writing and ridiculous Papyrus font? Really??? So long as a movie looks good, I guess it doesn't matter how offensive it is because 'Avatar' is turning into a box office behemoth And now there's word of an 'Avatar' trilogy?! Someone pull that USB hair braid out of the beast and put me out of my misery!

I'm telling you: It's Pocahontas. "Theeeeeey're savages, savages, barely even human! Savages, savages, killers at the core."
