The world is gorgeous, and definitely has potential, but the first movie's characters were pretty one-dimensional.

Of course, now Cameron's said he wants to make this a trilogy, so... maybe he'll hire a new writer?

I don't completely agree, but this is similar to everyone retroactively hating Tom Cruise's movies. Zalis - 05/01/2010 08:47:19 PM 686 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 313 Views

Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 575 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 606 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 601 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 526 Views

You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 586 Views

okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 515 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 575 Views

What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 545 Views
He's such a parody of himself, one wonders if he's not a fake identity created by rightists. *NM* LiterateDog - 10/01/2010 05:14:31 AM 314 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 596 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 625 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 710 Views

You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 651 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 687 Views

I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 473 Views
