I went to see Avatar yesterday. Frankly, I thought it did a magnificient job of living up to the hype and, since it cost $300,000,000 to produce, I should hope so. It was visually stunning. About halfway through it, I began to notice the comparison to the American West when white settlers were in the process of driving Native Americans out. It was not an overt comparison, but a comparison nonetheless. It is well worth the price of a ticket and, of course, an overpriced drink and box of popcorn. Oh, and by the way, I now have a crush on a ten-foot-tall blue woman with a tail and huge golden eyes. She almost looked human.
