- @crimsonsky76 re: the demons, longevity breeds pomposity #

- @crimsonsky76 In all fairness, “cohesive” and “time travel” are almost mutually exclusive #lovedthenewtrek in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- Yes, Avatar is basically Dances With Smurfs, but mythic story structures have persisted for millennia for a *reason*. #
- @AfrimKacaj I wore the 3D glasses, which look like Ray Bans, on top of my Ray Bans. The 3D specs are a little oversized, to it’s okay. in reply to AfrimKacaj #
- @Gartenberg I disagree. 3D in Avatar just makes the story and characters more convincing. Yes, it’s a simple story. All myths are. in reply to Gartenberg #
- @Gartenberg So you were judging it based on how it measured up to the hype, rather than how the movie worked as a movie? How odd. in reply to Gartenberg #
- @Gartenberg The CGI in Avatar isn’t what had me welling up. If you’re so cynical you can’t enjoy a mythic tale grandly told, I pity you. in reply to Gartenberg #
- Avatar is Joseph Campbell 101. The CGI gave me a sense of wonder, but the story and characters made me *care*. #
- @Gartenberg Yes, the environmental preaching was pretty heavy. But the story is timeless. There’s a reason myths persist. in reply to Gartenberg #
