A short one on Avatar

Yeah, enough already, I hear you say.

Just a quick thought -- I've been following the box office success of Avatar and noted in the lists of SF movies, District 9, which I saw earlier this year. I saw this movie twice -- because it was interesting, and I wanted to think more about it. But it was so ugly -- perhaps the ugliest movie I have ever seen. Twice was enough. Not sure I'll buy it on DVD. Maybe, when it's cheap. In comparison, Avatar is probably the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. I've told The Gadget Man that once it's out on DVD we're buying a home theatre system. (Similarly, when Gladiator came out, I bought the DVD even though we didn't have a player. When TGM pointed that out, I said that, yeah, we'd have to do something about that.)

The first thing I said to Adam when we walked out of seeing The Fellowship of the Ring the first time was "We need a bigger TV!" and his reply was "And surround sound!"

Hey, Mim, at least you had him on side! My battle's always getting my husband, who doesn't like films or TV, particularly, to go along with my plans. I don't usually win. :-(

Hey, thanks Leah-Mae! Yeah, I've had a bad year with blogging. Nice to see you're still reading! I thought all my readers would have forgotten me by now!
