China Renames Mountain In Honor of Avatar

Posted by samzenpus on from the dances-with-smurfs dept.

kghapa writes "Think you're Avatar's biggest fan? Even if you're hardcore enough to name your firstborn child 'Neytiri' and live the rest of your life in the jungle, you've still been one-upped by China. China has literally renamed a mountain because of the blockbuster hit."

    Um, IMHO, its a great movie, and I was entertained. But, it's a story, to entertain people. And if people like the story, then these people might be entertained by watching more movies from the Director of Avatar, or the other movies that the Actors, and Actresses have played in; like "Alien"? And if people become really entertained by Avatar, then they could be entertained by movies that involved the Producer, Camera, Wardrobe, Special Effects, various books, other fan sites. China has some very beautiful country sides, when I visit the Middle Land, I want Chinese culture, not Pop Culture. Please let there be a separation of Government, and Hollywood.
