Avatar: Cameron Stacks the Deck for Green Religion
  • Finally got around to seeing Avatar yesterday. I enjoyed it as I have most of Cameron’s films. The visuals are spectacular and the story, if predictable, seems well suited to the concept. Sure it has a lot in common with Disney’s Atlantis, but it’s a popcorn movie. Ultimately, it’s just supposed to be entertaining. On [...]...
    • The British Al Gore
  • Tory leader David Cameron last week proposed new legislation that would add a luxury tax to “unnecessary” flights. It turns out that just two months ago he and his family took a 90 mile hop in a private jet to visit a wealthy businessman: “All the flights that David takes are offset for carbon emissions, [...]...
    • The White House Says This Didn’t Happen
  • Here’s the excuse: The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets. “It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an [...]...
    • Did the Exodus Happen?
  • Minimalist Biblical scholars have long said no, that there is no evidence for it. Now director James Cameron has teamed with another Canadian to produce a new documentary arguing that the Exodus did happen, only 200 years earlier than often supposed. [S]tart from a stele long suppressed by the Egyptian authorities – these same authorities did [...]...

  • This is a tale of two cities.  These two cities could not have been more different. One is a fairy book story filled with hope, the other a nightmare of a horror story, the likes of which this city continues to live. Cleveland is known for its sports failures. But in a city where these [...]...
    • Tribute to a Young Hero
  • Funny how being a parent changes your perspective on news stories like this one:  James Alton Barbour Jr., a six year old boy with his whole life ahead of him, drowned on July 7th after saving his three year old sister Alona. Somehow the two ended up in their grandparents half-drained swimming pool, where James [...]...
    • A Plethora of Atheist vs. Christian Debates (Updated)
  • Update: I got another report from Blondie who was halfway through the ABC debate. She said it was pretty bad. Cameron was trying, but didn’t have the scientific chops to argue some of the points.  I’ll watch it eventually. Not now. Meanwhile I just went over to Beloved Spear to see what was up with Pastor [...]...
    • A Teddy Bear Named Jesus
  • I’m stealing this from AP at HotAir because it’s just so priceless. Here’s the backstory you need to appreciate this clip… A British teacher in Sudan bought her class a teddy bear. The students decided to name the bear after the most popular boy in the class. His name was Mohammad. Another student told his parents [...]...

    So its Dances with Wolves in space:

    In lesser hands I wouldn’t expect much, but James Cameron is pretty much the best there is at this sort of thing.

      This is becoming more and more interesting.
      I may actually shell out $12 bucks on a ticket to see this rather than wait for the DVD release.

      Can you still sneak beer into a theater?

      Yeah, you’re gonna need some sort of alcoholic beverage to get through the ‘message’ of the flick. Better make it two.

      I love James Cameron and-Titanic notwithstanding-he’s made some truly awesome flicks in his time. Still, I just don’t think I have it in me to watch yet another film where the military gets slagged as imperialists, no matter how rockin’ the movie looks.

      Yup. I’ll save my bucks and use it elsewhere. I’m tired of Hollywood pukes trashing people who try to make a real difference and who put their lives on the line to do it.

      Totally agree with KingShamus & Bingo on this one – BTW did anyone catch the “splice commercial” of the World Series with this movie last night before the game? It was ridiculous! What do Avatar and baseball have in common – duh, NOTHING! Just had me shaking my head – but I’ve been doing that a lot lately!

      James Cameron has demonstrated consistently that he is a master filmmaker. However, the Avatar trailer seems to show that he has left his story telling past behind and gone full scale into the dark side. Apparently, the viewer is supposed to take the side of the aliens against the humans. Uhm, no thanks. That’s too far for me to leap. It’s as if Aliens was turned upside down and we were supposed to root for the monsters against the Marines. I think I’ll skip this one.
