Re: Random movie talky stuff.
I think the only major motion picture that I've REALLY had a problem with (or maybe just the only one to come to mind), message-wise, is Big Daddy starring Adam Sandler. The message to would-be parents is... is...
Maybe... Adam Sandler can make terrible movies and still make lots of money? He teaches a young child that it's funny to throw sticks in front of people on rollerblades!
So they aired James Cameron's Avatar for the first time on TV today. Watched it, enjoyed it even though I shouldn't. More than obvious Deus Ex Machina in the final act, predictable character deaths (typecast, anybody?), many scenes being effects moneyshot after effects moneyshot, and the message it sends to wheelchair-bound people is... questionable. At least worthy of discussion, in my opinion.
Of course you can have a fulfilled, happy life! All you need to do is trade in your crippled-ass body for a better one!
