Avatar: A Review


The movies:
Pocahontas and Fern Gully
hooked up and had Avatar.
Jurassic Park tried to join the party but was too aggressive and it's special effects were soooooo yesterday.
(See what I mean? aggressive. Just couldn't play nice...)PS Mr. Cameron, I respect your diligence in making a movie that has amazing special effects. I understand that it took up to 2 months to render a single second of the movie. However, if you were as diligent to your story lines as you were to your special effects, it would have been much better. The plot was solid, but recycled. If you spent more time on character development, maybe I would have actually cared about your love story....and your main character....
PPS I do realize that my gender may have something do with the way I feel about this movie. And yes I do feel the same way about Titanic.
PPPS The last 3D movie I saw was Captian EO. Man that takes me back....
PPPPS RIP MJ

isms.....
Maddi and Mom are cuddled up in bed talking about the day before.
Maddi: Why do we celebrate Ground hog's Day?
Mom tries to explain
Maddi: Hmmm ok. What else do Groundhogs do?
Mom tries to think. They run around underground? Eat? Play with the other Groundhogs?
Mom: They hang out
Maddi: No mom, they HI-BER-NATE.
Ok, ya got me. You know more about Groundhogs.
(and she emphasized the word as if I wouldn't understand her)

Gender stereotyping happens at such an early age...
Conversation with Andrew while getting ready to go pick up car pool.
Andrew: Why are you wearing that hat?
Mom: Because I don't have time to do my hair and so I threw on this hat.
Andrew: You look like a Police Man
Mom: Uh...ok
Andrew: You can't be a police man
Mom: Why?
Andrew: Cause you're a mom!
Mom: Moms can be police officers.
Andrew: No, you're a mom....But daddy can.
Mom: Why's that?
Andrew: Cause he's a dude.
uhhhhhhhh....excuse me?
