I will never post anything here

I will preface all this with the statement that I did not hate Avatar. In the great ranks of Cameron movies, I'm gonna stick it with the Terminator flicks: I'm not likely to ever buy it, but I'm not gonna shriek in displeasure when I see it on TV.

You know... the only Cameron movies I actually like are Aliens and The Abyss.

Anyways, if Cameron really wanted to make a good movie with that technology, I have some suggestions:

• Don't remake Dances With Wolves. Old plot is old. (Sure, I love The Last Samurai, but the movie had more character. And depth of character.)
  
• Multidimensional characters are nifty!
  
• On the subject of multidimensional characters, I'd have liked to know why they were after unobtainium. If, say, the unobtainium is a critical component in the defense of planetary systems (including Pandora) against xenomorphs, the movie is completely different. If the unobtainium is a critical component in hologram TVs, the movie is different. If the unobtainium is a critical component in, say, atmosphere processors to help revive a "dead" earth, or in Earth's defense system against xenomorphs, and who cares about Pandora, then the movie is suddenly interesting on a non-eye candy level. I would care about the question of whether or not it's right to displace a bunch of blue savages in order to save a single planet.
  
• If Cameron had really wanted to drive the point about the Na'vi lifestyle being better, more pure, more holy, and more natural, he should have pulled a Wizard of Oz and only done the sections where Sully inhabits a Na'vi body in 3D.
  
• Make the Na'vi more alien. Or at least make them look like they belonged on Pandora, instead of looking like they're invaders themselves. They share pretty much nothing in common with the wildlife, except for the USB-tentacle-braids, and maybe bioluminescence, if their little white spots actually glowed in the dark and I didn't imagine it.
  

And why is it that aliens kiss? Always? And have the same sort of sexual dimorphism?

All this having been said, I don't regret the twelve bucks.

Consider his browser tabs:
( Bein' polite with large-ish image. )
Gmail, normal enough. Stargate Wiki. An article on Ediacaran fossils. An article on the discoverer of Edicaran fossils. Wikipedia, with an article on a particular example of Ediacaran life, and, for no apparent reason, a wikipedia article on Electron degeneracy pressure. Plus Facebook. Nerdiness bookended with normality.
