I guess we're the only two people on the planet who haven't seen "Dances With Smurfs"...aka "Avatar". It's become such a cultural phenomenon that even without seeing it I know more than I care to about it.
Meh. Sounds like "Pocahontas in Space" to me.
I read yesterday that they're pulling the film in China. Evidently the storyline of military/corporate plundering of pristine, unspoiled resources and destroying once vibrant native cultures was hitting a little too close to home with the peasantry and the authorities decided it was best to pull the plug before things got unpleasant.
No danger of that happening here. In Bako I'm sure they're rooting for the developers. Where others may see untrammeled natural beauty, here they see future subdivisions. Or Subdivisions of the Future...
"Pandora Estates"
"The Villas at Pandora"
"El Camino del Rey Pan Dora"
Maybe we'll check it out when it comes out on DVD. We rarely went out to the movies in LA, and we certainly wouldn't do it here. There's only a handful of theaters and they are absolutely overrun with teenagers with nowhere else to go and nothing else to do.
It must really suck to be a teenager here.
