Johnny pwned in it as he always does when he plays, in The Author's words, 'crazy, eccentric, and "mad"' characters, and I seriously don't think Bonham Carter would an Oscar for this movie. She wasn't THAT good in it.<br /><br />Maybe you didn't know, but this movie was a compilation of several of Lewis Carrol's works: Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and the poem Jabberwocky.<br /><br />My opinion. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091183468257344467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674871730026898132.post-5266294245867805512010-07-07T09:51:20.172-07:002010-07-07T09:51:20.172-07:00Big Dude,

I actually thought the theme of Neytiri - excuse me, Avatar - was more "duty vs. justice". Or perhaps "putting the values of others before one's own personal life (Get you your legs back, your real legs)".The Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348542336556124585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674871730026898132.post-14594662053328571372010-07-07T09:31:12.917-07:002010-07-07T09:31:12.917-07:00Note to Author from Dad...Yes, I can count to 12. ...Note to Author from Dad...Yes, I can count to 12. I can count to 12 by 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s and 6s; which is why we don't use the metric system to build houses...10 is only divisible evenly by 1, 2 and 5. But that is a different topic entirely. <br />Logically, the number of years that a project takes can only be loosely tied to the quality of the finished product. A more likely explanation for the development time is that James Cameron used consultants who bill by the hour versus salaried Disney employees who profit from an increase in share price from the publicly traded company. The sooner the film makes money, the sooner they profit personally.<br />However, I might have to watch Neytiri, errr Avatar, again to compare the two. I thought you would have commented on the common thread of both movies; both hero and heroine, unsure of thier purpose or future, take an 'all-or-nothing' risk and discover thier true potential...but that's not as exciting as CGI, right?BigDudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674871730026898132.post-39138102807171925012010-07-06T21:22:50.313-07:002010-07-06T21:22:50.313-07:00hmmm. note from your parents: we did not say tha...hmmm. note from your parents: we did not say that. methinks we mentioned she's BEEN nominated several times before. and methinks we might have said that the movie itself is worthy of oscar noms in a couple categories ...<br /><br />anywhoo, we liked it. way more than we thought we would. ;-)Skellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021374799688814697noreply@blogger.com
