It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. Lately it seems that book out's have been rather packed. Looking ahead I think I'll spend more and more time sleeping instead.

Watched Avatar today. I guess you could say it was worth every cent we paid. should have caught the 3D version but well i guess the way thing's are going soon every action genre should be animated and 3 Dimensioned as well.














Stunning CGI aside, the movie's plot was pretty much predictable. Reading any decent movie guide would give you pretty much a good idea what kind of a ride you're going to be going through, albeit a pretty ride.

I would like to think that Cameron did brilliantly in linking up our planet's impending climate disaster to the show. In a dialogue with Eyra, the mother tree, Jake says: "Look into my mind see what my people have done to our planet, they have killed our mother." Cut real deep there..

Kudos though to the people who thought up this encyclopedia worth of Pandora information, and the animators and designers who conjured all the special effects and brought this to life . This I think is how science fiction should be made with a huge melting pot of fiction good enough to be facts.

Top 5 list of cool stuff on Pandora, and the people who would want them..
1) An Avatar, for just about everyone who would like to be 8 foot tall, blue and sporting a tail once in a while.
2) The "Wong-Fei-Hong" style hair cut with built in USB port, cool for all absent minded techies. Lashes on to just about everything on Pandora. Talk about connectivity..
3) The helicopters with blades on the side, a must have for rotary wing pilots who currently have a problem with ejection while their blades are over their cockpit.
4) The trees, connected to Eyra they they're kinda like huge storage drives for everything a civilization can remember. Hard disks are beginning to sound like tomorrows news now.
5) The standard pixilated uniforms worn by all the soldiers on Pandora, cuz it's probably the only thing we've really got.
