I have some time before class, so I thought I'd hop on here for the first time in a while; and to think I was doing so well with my every-five-days posting in January! Eventually I'd like to talk about classes and how they're going, developments in my life and where that's going (oy), but at the moment, I thought I'd be Februarian by talking about

The greatest thing Avatar did was provide an intellectual litmus test. If anyone admits to liking this movie for anything other than the dazzling effects, I know that I can safely ignore everything that they have to say intellectually.

In case he hasn't seen it yet: Pocahontas = Avatar.

Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, Eden... all the same thing, really.

I know about unobtainium, but everywhere I've ever seen it, it was like saying "widget", just a filler term for (in this case) something generically really rare. When Giovanni Ribisi first said it, I laughed, thinking, oh hey, he's making a joke. And then... they just kept saying it... I don't know why that was a bigger deal to me than everything else, but there ya go.

Earplugs would have been totally welcome, except for the parts where I was trying to deduce the language. That's shits and giggles for linguists! :D
