Holy S*%t

I guess I've always been a closet James Cameron fan, I really don't know. I thought Terminator (well, T1 & T2) were just terrific. And Titanic was not exactly a bad movie if you have a pulse and even the tiniest place in your heart for history. My expectations for Avatar were low, even with all the hype. But it turned out to be one of the most exciting, most moving movies I've seen in recent memory. Okay, the story itself is pretty tired, but who cares? Most pop music uses the same four annoying chords, and people still get all goo goo ga ga over new songs. Would you have wanted some complex, convoluted plotline like in Lost or Twin Peaks? Half the people who watched them never understood what the fuck was going on. For a movie that was marketed to the masses, it's hard to argue with Avatar. The story was genuine, it had more than its share of unique twists, and the effects and realism were beyond phenomenal. I found myself talking about the movie for days afterwards, and while I'm not going to go kill myself (as someone who saw the movie actually did) it is indeed a place I would want to visit and maybe never come back. I can't recommend this movie enough.
