I enjoyed Avatar. The world, Pandora, was beautiful, and watching it in IMAX 3D was worth the price of admission all by itself. It doesn't hurt that the religion on Pandora was the sort I love to bask in: everything living has energy and is sacred, taken seriously, and seen with wonder. (Which is to say those of you do not share those tendencies

I really enjoyed reading this review. Thank you!

I saw Princess & the Frog yesterday and really enjoyed it.

Thank you!

I want to see Princess & the Frog, but I suspect it will be a netflixer for me. :(

This review almost makes me want to see the movie. But not quite.

(Hey, look, I have new icons!)

[rymenhild]

Did I mention that I had new icons?

[rymenhild]

You see, in a Millifundraiser for Haiti, I got bookelfe to make me icons for my personal journal.

I made the mistake of telling her to use her own judgment. :D

(But, as you can see, she knows me well.)

Huh. The Companion even looks like it's rolling its eyes.

Having also seen the Princes and the Frog, I believe it is also Netflix-worthy. Good enough to see. Not good enough for $20 at the theatre.

This heart inside a separate box issue seems to be a running theatrical theme for the last several years. I believe Optimus Prime essentially did the same thing in Transformers.

It's a neat theme; plenty of folklore has that theme as well. I guess it's part of the fascination with death.

Did Optimus Prime do it in Transformers I or II? I don't recall.

Come to think of it, he may have done it in the cartoon movie. My friend who is a huge Transformers fan was attempting to indoctrinate me around the time the first live-action movie came out :)
