Ahhahahahaha

Oh roadkill gravy, are Na'vi fans going to become a 'thing'?

It would be pretty lulzy to stage some protests.

This was the cover of today's TBT* (Tampa Bay Times) - we get it everyday on campus. Thought it may be relevant to your interests:







Let's do drinks!

  Yes, that is relevant to my interests.



You buying?

apparently, it's the most offensive movie of the year:

Aaaannnd, now I begrudgingly like it more.

It abuses so many tropes that you can lo5 it to "be about" anything you want.  OMFG it didn't feature Eris, screw you Greyface!

So how many blank stares would you give it, out of five?

I had about as much fun watching it as I did when I was twelve and watched "Aliens" or "The Terminator" for the first time. Of course, I just laughed at the cliches and occasional stumble instead of letting them piss me off - that probably helped.

Great response to this that I just read on toplessrobot:


"I'm certainly having feelings of disgust with the human race, although I think everyone else but me has disengaged from reality. Seriously, you Avatar-worshipping morons? You're letting a freaking Science Fiction 101 -- an admittedly pretty one -- story bum you out so much that life doesn't seem worth living? Goddamn, you people, don't ever read Ender's Game, because you will shit yourself. to death. Actually, do. DIE. PLEASE STRAP YOURSELF IN A ROCKET AND SHOOT YOURSELF TO PANDORA. WE DO NOT NEED YOU."

All that "harmony with nature" stuff implies that there is some kind of natural ORDER that we're supposed to live in accordance with! Fuck yuo Greyface!

HA! CONTINUING FROM MY PREVIOUS POST:

'And don't you look smug, CNN reporters. Seriously -- "On the fan forum site 'Avatar Forums,' a topic thread entitled 'Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible," has received more than 1,000 posts'" -- are you fucking kidding me? You're reprting shit idiots say in online forums as news? GODDAMMIT, I AM A NERD WRITING A NERD NEWS SITE AND EVEN I DON'T "REPORT" "NEWS" FROM ONLINE FORUMS. THAT'S THE STUPIDEST BULLSHIT EVER. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY NO LONGER REPORTERS. YOU'VE FAILED. Your punishment is to join the Pan-depressives on the rockets and let them dictate all their horrible Na'vi poetry to you for eternity.

Fuck. FUCK. Thanks to all jillion of you who sent this ridiculous bullshit in."

Mittens to GS!


Incidentally, what would it take for this forum to get on the news?

[Freeky]

Cry about how we all want to die because Palin hasn't been elected yet? And make a support thread for it?

maybe we should all write about how we've seen avatar and now we're depressed that we can't destroy space smurfs and rape their planet.


ADDENDUM

Somebody needs to put a thread on here entitled "Smurf Killers from Planet Rape".

[Captain Utopia]

Speaking of rape... there is the one scene where the hero wrestles and mind-rapes a dragon in order to "tame" it. There's got to be some mileage in that.

Maybe you can't.
