why I'm not rushing out to see Avatar
Dec. 19th, 2009 11:05 ama review of Dave's review and the comments.
Third runner-up, Descriptions Least Likely to Make Me Want to See Avatar: "Worth watching for the effects, but don't expect much from the story." I've already seen that movie; I don't want to see it again.
Second runner-up, Descriptions Least Likely to Make Me Want to See Avatar: "Dune in the jungle." Oh boy, I've seen that movie too. The book was better, but as the defenders of Hollywood trashings are always telling us, a book is not a movie.
First runner-up, Descriptions Least Likely to Make Me Want to See Avatar: "Heinlein meets McCaffrey." I've read those books.
And the winner, The Description Least Likely to Make Me Want to See Avatar is: "Dances with Wolves on another planet."
