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.'"
Raise your hand if the first thing you thought of was the suicide cult?
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
I guess at that point Humanity has forgotten about mining mineral rich asteroids. Especially mineral rich asteroids which aren't at the bottom of giant gravity wells knows as planets.
The plot has as many plot holes as an episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
They couldn't clone this guy a human body and have him control that at the very least????? They have FTL drive but mining asteroids which would probably have the same "rare" minerals as the planet they wish to plunder is too hard for them???? They can't just kill off this species on the planet with chemicals or a virus??? Orbital bombardment of Napalm too expensive for them as well????
The humans int he film deserve to get their asses handed to them by "Ewoks" because they are so frelling stupid.

Methinks you might need to some out from under your rock more often.
Or don't. Stay there.
Buffy and Angel are trash.
River, the last episode, and the movie ruined Firefly. So badly that I can't go back and watch the series anymore. I liked it when it was on, but Joss fucked it over in the end, like he always does.
It's like how Spiderman 3 came out and sucked so hard that it traveled back in time and made the first two suck.
I never washed that trash.
But it was in reference to Firefly.
He turned the story to shit, killed off a bunch of characters in a completely stupid way (especially the black "preacher" dude), made the shitty love story between the captain and the whore play out like the worst of high school relationships, etc.
Around the time of Dr. Horrible, Joss said in an interview "no happy endings" or some such. Basically, the guy is used to failure, but he still knocks over the board and cries when he's at the end game.
