Avatar – It was alright…1
Posted In Blog, Hobbies
So, I am not the only one who didn’t like Avatar. But damn it, peer pressure almost made me crumble. My sister especially, claiming that I just didn’t “get it”, that part of the brilliance was the fact that the planet was called Pandora – a reference to Greek mythology… She didn’t put it quite so succinctly, but I got her point. I didn’t have a ready retort for her however because, well it would have been the same answer as what I gave five minutes before, right after the movie finished – “It’s not new, it’s not different, it’s been done before”. Though I couldn’t think of any examples there and then. Also, I think as a self-professed movie buff & Empire worshipper, she’s biased, and therefore easily pleased. Me, I’m a difficult sumbitch, and as it would seem, I don’t react well to what I’ve now termed ‘Overhype’.
