And the general public knows jackshit about history and has completely forgotten or never even was aware of what we did to the Natives in the US. Sometimes beating someone over the head is completely appropriate.

Avatar's message is pretty heavy handed, so was Dances with Wolves, I wasn't old enough to remember back then. Did people throw a shitfit about it being a liberal commiefascist condemnation of america too?

Unobtanium is a trope, it's permission to check your care of science at the door. It's a plot device. It would be absurd to try to explain it's abilities with pseudo science, so he didn't even try.

Also, there is no such thing as an original script. I challenge you to give me a movie that was made this year that was 'original'.

Original

How about Caroline? That movie was soooo weird it had to be something original. Bolt?

Re: Original

[pathia]

Caroline, spawned from darker (read: original) fairy tails that are hundreds of years old

Bolt? Fuck no. Ever heard of Don Quixote? Even that borrowed from Greek stuff too I'm sure.

Moon and Milk were probably my fav movies

Interesting arguments

[jugularjaguar]

But that is a little too deep for me.

Name one blockbuster movie that had an original script? Even terminator wasn't original.

Terminator was garbage compared to the conner chronicles
