Also, have I told you how much I dislike Avatar? yes, and because I have an opinion about a thing, everyone ever has taken it upon themselves to correct me.
I hate all of my friends for this. Also, Greg and Kevin, don't think I've forgotten about the bookstore incident, because, you know, I haven't. Every time someone tries to talk to me about that godforsaken movie, it is like the bookstore incident. No one is allowed in my fucking car anymore.
I guess the thing I hate the most about avatar was the fact that it was a) ridiculously derivative, laughably so, and b) it wasn't self aware enough to make the lack of originality interesting.
who am I kidding
it's just fucking entertainment, right
it's pretty, so who gives a shit about plot.
also, environmentalism is so fashion
IT'S JUST ENTERTAINMENT, RIGHT.

Bookstore incident?
(Also, is Avatar bad to the point of me not watching it despite everyone talking about it? Or just bad but necessary to watch?)
I have no idea. It depends on what you expect from it. It was recommended to me in a way that painted it as some sort of artistic masterpiece, so take what you will from that.
As for the bookstore incident, I will elaborate in another post.
From what I heard, it was a very well-done stock action/fantasy movie. Good at being a stock action/fantasy movie. (Which in turn means it's above average, as the stock action/fantasy movie is a horror to behold.)
This comes from Rik Fielden, who is the film major my ex-girlfriend gets her reviews from.
Speaking of which, what do the film majors we know think? Have Sam and Matt seen it?
Matt liked it. I haven't heard Sam's opinion, and I am really not interested in it either.
Ah, I see - okay.
What's a movie you recommend for me to watch?
hmm, dunno.
I watched Brazil last night and I thought it was good.
Ah, I remember watching that for my global studies classes. It left me in a really weird mood for the rest of the day. For some reason I kept expecting really life to be like that, and was on the lookout.
I liked the ending, too, which is rare for me with dystopias in fiction.
Any other movies?
I watched Rushmore today, and that was pretty fun.
