Silly bsphil, farming okra is conservative.

Oh and watching military men made out to be sadistic homicidal mass murderers
The dude with the scars in the mech was hands down the best actor in the movie.
That aside, there's a pretty common theme of "Evil" corporations throughout all of James Cameron's movies (Terminator 1 & 2, Aliens, The Abyss). Knowing that, you still went.
By your logic, by going to the movie you're supporting a socialist by participating in Capitalism.
Now go to the corner & think about what you did.

Titanic and Dark Angel can be added to that list. Even if Dark Angel was a TV series.

And that government has no right to tell individuals what to do? Clearly if might makes right the government, as the most powerful body around, is always correct.

Omega,
The terminator and alien movies are great (own all of them on dvd, bought not downloaded). I don't mind the anti-corporation theme so much if the story, acting, and effects are exciting. To impress me you have to accomplish at least 2 of those 3.

How were the effects in this movie? That's all I'm interested in. Watching the commercials on TV I had a hard time at first telling if the "real" people were actually live-action or really good CG like Polar Express or Final Fantasy.
I also heard bits of an interview with Cameron about the development of this movie and the work he went into fleshing out the world it's set in. He wanted to create a full language for the natives akin to Tolkien's Elvish tongues of Middle-Earth. That kind of effort really interests me.

I wasn't aware McCarthy had a son.
If might does in fact make right, then it is impossible for the government to make a mistake in this context.
Any lawsuit challenging a government decision would be inherently frivolous, then.

I struggle to imagine a hick like you surfing anything bigger than the foamies. Feel free to provide photographic evidence if I'm wrong.
Avatar is a awesome movie. I saw it in 3D and loved it. The Blue chick is hawt and the military are blinkered mass murderers just like they are trained to be in real life.

Varus is just angry that he doesn't have an alien appendage that he can plug into his okra plants and talk with them like the Na'vi do.
Seriously, though, I'd think Varus would have liked this movie. Despite any political differences, the script and plot were almost as hamfisted and simple-minded as the majority of his contributions to this forum.

It's worth seeing in 3D on IMAX just for the effects which are by far the most advanced in any movie to date. Just be prepared for the story to contain every overdone Hollywood cliche there is, and some of the cheesiest dialogue and one-liners this side of The Phantom Menace.
