Re: “Avatar falls flat without third dimension”
You backed up your opinion well, Hillary. However, I still think you should see it again in 3-D IMAX before it leaves. Perhaps on a second viewing you'll come to your senses. ;)
Yes, I just listened to the podcast you and Mark did. Really enjoyed listening to your top 10 lists. Cheers!
Re: “Avatar”
Wow, too bad you saw this movie in 2D, Hilary. What a waste! Considering it was filmed in 3D, it would be completely logical to see it in such a format. You really did miss out on a unique theater-going experience. What were they thinking even releasing it in 2D? Hmm. Not sure. I also disagree with your opinion regarding the plot; given the recent history of U.S. imperialism (especially of the past 8 years in the middle east) and the horrid state of the environment all over the world, the plot, on the contrary, is a breath of fresh air amdist the ubiquitous pile of rubbish that gets thrown at the youth of today on a weekly basis. It is the antithesis of, say, a Michael Bay movie; yes it's a big-budget Hollywood project, yet there is a soul at its nucleus, and a pace that requires a greater attention span. I can't imagine a more deserving film for best picture come Oscar time. Note: it's the whole package that will leave the viewer completely satisfied. Story + special effects + acting + cinematography and so on. Must be seen in IMAX 3D to be fully appreciated.

Re: “Crime Fighthing 101”
Hey NeverWrong, you couldn't be more wrong sucka! By posting this it gets people fired up (like you apparently- thanks for replying). People reply to this thread and agree or disagree, but the thought is there or else they wouldn't reply. By the way, I usually put on my ninja gear and go blast these lowlife scumbags with my throwing stars, then "Poof!", I disappear. So posting a bitch isn't all I do, beeyatch!

Re: “Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience”
I had all of my preconceived notions - about a major blockbuster relying strictly on special effects and formulaic plots (see Michael Bay) to simply cash in- all blown away after seeing Avatar. James Cameron goes big again (as he did in Titanic) with, yes, an incredibly gifted prowess in welding drama depth, effects, amidst a beautiful panoramic lens, and takes the viewer on a type of sci-fi ride that they may remember from such classics as Star Wars, The Matrix, etc. A thoroughly enjoyable theater-going experience, which brings movie magic back again. I saw this at the IMAX in 3D, and that is the key if you want to get a true experience of the new technology and feel what the future of cinema is. Popcorn, pop, and chocolate bar are optional.

Re: “2009: the year the system went to shit”
Well done, Tim. The Herald doesn't have half the guts to dive into the topics you and your colleagues at The Coast do. Without you guys many people would be lost. Keep up the good work!
