First Review of Avatar Special Edition
brumgrunt writes "Den Of Geek has the first review of James Cameron's extended cut of Avatar. Its thoughts? 'As opposed to, say, the extended cuts of Aliens, Terminator 2 or The Abyss, the new scenes add little of particular note to everything we've already seen.'"
There's really a trend in going all "That movie sucks!" against every popular movie, and I'm getting tired of it.
That's pretty much anything popular ever, at least on the internet.
For example, just tossing this out there
I like the following
-Rap music
-Halo 3
-Team fortress 2
-Sex
-The Matrix
-Inception
-Beer
Anyone care to comment on... hang on, just got a text that TF2 is extremely overrated and blah blah blah.. and oh, I've just been tapped on the shoulder and someone is telling me that sex is overrated. My wife.
With a few minor exceptions, this review was a rehash of prior reviews.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
In reality....
They nuked them from orbit when they left...... Just to be sure....

Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
That's what so screwy with this flick.
Catsmurf:
Nooo, don't touch the sacred plant!!
Ohhh, when we have to kill an animal we sing to it and call it brother!!
When we ride an animal we connect to it's brain with our tails, which also is our genitalia btw.
Peace is good, mmkay?
Human:
Look, if we gather all of the tribes, you can crush your enemies and be violent motherfuckers just like us!!
Catsmurfs:
Really? Yee haaa!!! lets kill some motherfuckers up in this biatch!!!
Plot summary: "smurfs with penises on their heads use gay beastiality to mind-control animals into helping them defeat the evil white man"
and oh, I've just been tapped on the shoulder and someone is telling me that sex is overrated. My wife.
I'm devastated. I thought she was enjoying it.

Life was once calm, now the waves are coming.
Special edition or regular edition it will still never get anywhere near "Aliens." Sorry, Lucas, but the thirty years of experience you have gained and the extra production budget have actually made you worse. Go back to your roots.
See what I did there?
I'm pretty sure "The Second Coming of Citizen Kane" would be a terrible movie that would be universally reviled. Would Kane be an undead revenant trying to find his sled or something? Or would it turn out he faked his death? In any case, it would be a poorly written opportunistic sequel rushed out by Hollywood to capitalize on the popularity of the original.
If fate makes you a motorcycle, you become a motorcycle.
a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity
They are covertly inserted into the Obama administration by Steve Jobs with a mission to replace all the XP machines with iPads. Captured by Steve Ballmer, they have an "exit interview" in a room filled with thousands of "smart chairs" which have only 640K of memory and are constantly "squirting".
There is no right to feel safe thru security vaudeville at the expense of everyone's freedom, privacy and tax money.
Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
