I had no idea my own personal billionaire Baron was having out-of-wedlock children with actresses from the O.C, along with the more traditional family pastimes of spending absurd sums collecting art.  This fits quite well with the purchase of a prominent newswire and all the pointless advertising and rebranding since he took over.  Every time there's an announcement, I hope it's that we've been spun off.

If the points of comparison are Conan the Barbarian, Star Wars or Bollywood, Avatar is a terrific movie.  If the points of comparison are Lawrence of Arabia and Miyazaki, it isn't. It suffered from a sort of intentional failure of imagination which is probably unavoidable in really expensive films.   They didn't want there to be any danger of anyone in the audience of losing the plot or misplacing their sympathy. It stumbled over itself to give people what they want.
