Avatar, Has Sci-fi Found Its Heaven's Gate?
brumgrunt writes "Den Of Geek wonders if James Cameron's Avatar is heading for a fall, and if it will even be a science fiction film, off the back of the previews shown last week. It writes: 'It seems in Avatar that all this gee-whiz science is merely there to draw the "old crowd" in and provide some kind of rationale for a brightly-coloured fantasy-world which reflects the most emetic of the artwork plastered over teenage girls' MySpace pages.'"
The only reason they're young women and not little girls is because he would be burned at the stake, if he tried it
The trailer got people talking.

I am lacking sufficient evidence that you are not a troll, and I have sufficient evidence that you are; nevertheless, I will ask you:
What did we do? There are several other films that, by my reckoning, currently hold the attention of the fandom; the average fur is more interested in the Fantastic Mr. Fox film that is being produced than this. And your mind is weak if you have succumb to the myriad of associations on account of a mere murmur of our name. What is your grievance, and why should I not believe it to be lack of mental fortitude (or, in the alternative, trolling) over some other explanation?
