Avatar Wow

December 27, 2009

The Avatar Premiere was last week.  I liked it even better than what I saw at Cameron’s house.  In spite of the fact I’m not in it, I had the singular best movie experience of my life.  Guessed it felt like 70 years ago when The Wizard of Oz came out.  I can’t believe anyone ever doubts Jim.  Wow.   I didn’t even mention True Lies 2 until after the show.  I have been dropping hints for 15 years and the press still loses it when I do.  Who wouldn’t want to recreate a super fun and career saving event where you got to hang with your buddies for a year?  I would, Arnold would, Jamie Lee’s on board but I’ll let Jim announce it…I owe him that.

I don’t want to just crap on you (as opinions will always clash), but I feel it was mediocre except the visuals. The visuals were more than worth price of admission and are just some of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, but Dances with Wolves has already been made. And why did no one say “Unobtainium, really??” to James Cameron? “If they get to the Tree of Souls, it’s over!”

It’s not that it was bad. I just do not feel anything for the characters other than the marine dude. But just disliking a stubborn bad guy doesn’t make a story. Someone falling in love doesn’t make a story. Someone doing the opposite of what they’re supposed to do does not make a story. Execution makes a story.

That’s why Wizard of Oz is amazing. Not because it goes from black and white to color.
