Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

What a crushing disappointment from one of our most original and imaginative filmmakers.

Set in 2154, “Avatar” is a thinly disguised, heavy-handed and simplistic sci-fi fantasy/allegory critical of America from our founding straight through to the Iraq War.
Big Hose Big Editor Big John "Big" Nolte acts as if that's a reason not to see it. And provides a clear window to the heart of darkness & resentment that is the Big Conservative Mind:
Cameron’s brainchild tribe is boringly perfect and insufferably noble … I wanted to wipe them out.

Gee, you'd think that Mighty America was a house of cards you could knock over by waving your hand near it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this movie is basically all CGI, right?

Why the hell did the art department make the aliens look like smurfcats, when they could have rendered just about any bleeping look for the aliens?

Shorter Bastard: What's up with the "guy in rubber suit" look in a CGI movie?

Our guess is that after 60 yrs. of guys in rubber & gorilla suits the Hollywood mind believes that all E. T.s have rubbery skin. (Built-in safe sex!)

It may look better in the theatre, but we are not blowing $15.00 to find out.
