Avatar soundtrack's so like that track from the end of the Island, it's beautifully haunting. I thought movie was okay, raises ethical issues of growing whole child-humans to amplify our existence.

Really pleased the OSCARS disallowed Sacha Baron Cohen's attempt to 'amuse'.

On a final note, I've really enjoyed Kathryn Bigelow movies, Point Break and especially Strange Days. I'd have more respect for her if she would tackle a very scandalous story emerging from the catastrophic Iraq War (for civilians), that of the hideously deformed children of Fallujah. Item so horrendous does not even make it as a news item.
"... level of birth defects in this city had reached such a scale that officials were now warning women not to have children at all.
Simpson visited hospitals and clinics, met doctors, parents and children and viewed photographs of horrible deformities including a baby born with three heads.
The hospital saw three new cases each day. The significance for the United States was the explanation given by all those he spoke to: the cluster of birth defects must be the result of the high tech munitions used by the Americans during the battle of Fallujah in 2004."

James Cameron Talks About The Hurt Locker
While Hurt Locker was indeed a very good film, what was its message? That some people are wedded to war and would prefer to leave their young family to go wage battle, putting their own lives at risk? Avatar's message, leave aside its technical, innovative movie-making, and cine-spectacle awesomeness, is positive, and feel-good. Would movie-directors prefer Oscars or their film being an historic money-making roller-coaster ride that sends movie-goers back to see their movie at the cinema time and time again? I certainly would not see The Hurt Locker again, only saw it on DVD anyway, would not pay to see it at the cinema, whereas AVATAR, I will see again and again, paying more to see it at an IMAX.

Good morning chaps, been thinking about last night's BAFTAS 6-2 surprise score to Hurt Locker and that it, not AVATAR won the 'big' awards' that looked a dead-cert for Cameron's epic, Cinematography, Editing, Sound and Best Film. I'm reminded of... Continue reading

Too right Safire, it's really pumped positivity in that one feels anything is accomplishable! And with that, I shall retire to watch PREDATOR on TV - Carl Weathers' character has just uttered "I see you" into the jungle! :-)
Bidding all the lovely AVATAR fans on here a lovely rest of your morning/day/evening :-)

I said this before, Avatar is above and beyond these simple award ceremony's. There is no single award that is deserving of Avatar. Avatar is in it's self a stand alone film. Hands down....and all i would like to see is for all of those who helped create this film get some kind of recognition.......

I'm going to get someone to buy all versions for me, and a 3D TV and a blu-ray player, and now I will drift out of this wish-list dream world!! :-)
AVATAR DVD Arriving on Earth Day?
AVATAR is still number four in box-office sales, but James Cameron tells MTV that there'll be three AVATAR DVDs: a 2-D version slated for a June 30 release, then a special edition and a 3-D Blu-ray DVD. (He also told the Wall Street Journal the release would happen on Earth Day—April 22; stay...
Politics underlies everything, absolutely everything, even James Cameron's AVATAR, but it's message is wholesome, and a lot of people didn't appreciate it, thinking it anti-American, anti-West capitalism.
Eywa is great! Death to BAFTA! (not really)

Even ' THE LOVELY BONES' was more deserving, as was 'PRECIOUS' than HURT LOCKER.
Truly hope the OSCARS will not repeat this debacle.

Hurt Locker was a good movie, BUT nothing compared to Avatar in all aspects, innovative technology/special effects, screenplay, designs, etc...I can go on and on, and most of all, the direction and the actors...simply the "best" is an understatement. I didn't even like the character of the prota...
