I thought the cartoon succeeded at creating a fictional version of eastern philosophy that speaks to the spirit if not the letter, gentle enough for children. In later seasons, we learn more backstory and psychology of the grudges. I found that show brilliant: http://www.screenwriterguy.com/2006/12/26/the-best-tv-youre-not-watching/ScreenwriterGuyhttp://www.screenwriterguy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-42805162433895665122009-12-13T21:10:32.018-08:002009-12-13T21:10:32.018-08:00With all due respect to Harry, Eric made me watch ...With all due respect to Harry, Eric made me watch the first season of 'Avatar'. I watched it with my summer school class as a 'treat' for them.<br />Wow. Big-ass anime eyes, philosophy as deep as an ashtray and grudges based on nothing. It annoyed the fuck out of me. <br />So I see Cameron's doing 'Avatar' and I think, huh. I thought it was M. Night's turn to ruin something again. <br />It was a dumb screw-up.

Movies such as these cannot simply be hits - they must be MONSTROSITIES. Unfortunately, I'm not getting a lot of "Avatar" buzz from the young people I work with.<br /><br />Oh, and forgive me, but the new trendy "disgust" with Carson is nothing short of sickening to me, especially when so much of it comes from people I saw posting on his site mere days ago.sean1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12286461467980818381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-3097322698173719702009-12-11T16:16:05.739-08:002009-12-11T16:16:05.739-08:00I can't stand James Cameron's dialogue, bu...I can't stand James Cameron's dialogue, but I'll see that movie because it looks so damn EXPENSIVE.JUST MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663723046451628228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-59374906901616650082009-12-11T15:12:55.419-08:002009-12-11T15:12:55.419-08:00And, honestly, I don't think your kids are wha...And, honestly, I don't think your kids are what the marketers are thinking about when the talk about teens.

I am currently Netflixing the series and my six year old son and I are watching it. We are enjoying it very much.<br /><br />I think Cameron's Avatar is going to be huge. The more footage I see in trailers makes me think that it's going to rock.<br /><br />As a side note I think The Last Airbender will be fun as well.<br /><br />-JimJim Endecotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484816992028286627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-54581009948755006572009-12-11T10:01:24.511-08:002009-12-11T10:01:24.511-08:00I don't know.

But Cameron is a very popular filmmaker and has a HUUUUGE fan-base of fanboys who are mostly older high school students, in college, and in their 20s and early 30s. <br /><br />I really have no idea if AVATAR will be a huge flop or a hit...and I do plan to go see it.<br /><br /><br />but yeah, the title mix-up is confusing.
