Goebbels would be proud
I'm not sure any of you have seen the previews for the colossal turd James Cameron is offering up for Christmas called Avatar
Not only does this movie look stupid on its face, I took a little stroll through the synopsis and watched a long trailer(that's three minutes I'll never get back) to get a feel for it. First off the planet is called "Pandora" (of Pandora's box infamy). The story is of a "peace loving" indigenous population that sit on top of a large natural resource worth tons of money. The bad guys (earthlings, or a nod to the U.S.) want it and use military force to get it. It has the required bad guys in the form of Corporations and a mean General telling the military what to do and shows the natives as being just innocents.
Usually Hollywood likes to hide its propaganda a little better, but this one just shoves it right in your face. I usually don't mind if a movie gets preachy as long as it has a good story, but this giant waste of celluloid has so many tired plot points(man learns enemy is just like him) and characters(spunky side kick) that I can't believe it got made, oh wait, yes I can. (This thing was green lighted during the Bush era)
If you feel the need to piss away your money on this excrement I can't stop you. Just know you have been warned.

Yeah, the political dimwits have been drooling over this one for the past few weeks. You're right; it's more Hollywood leftism wrapped in shiny beads.
Cameron is a typical Canada-commie; consequently, his films have a strong anti-capitalism and anti-corporatism streak running through them, dating clear back to Aliens. Unfortunately, this film doesn't look to be nearly as entertaining as Aliens, and the special effects look distinctly "game-ish" to me. Pass.
The pinko bastard is also re-making Heavy Metal, and that makes me want to weep. Nothing is sacred anymore.
On the bright side, Hollywood is in its death-throes. Technology is rapidly superseding the outdated movie-making model; another couple decades and it will be a pale shadow of its former glory. The Hollywood blockbuster will be increasingly replaced by more interactive forms of entertainment, (I now play far more games than I watch movies), as well as tech which allows Joe Public to make and distribute his own films and shows. It's been coming for a while, and the tech base is just about ready to send it up. Double-edged sword? Yeah, but it's better than another century of leftist Hollywood drivel.
