I dunno if anyone even reads this, but I constantly retell stories in my own head so at least if I blog about it it seems a little less psychotic...
So I deleted all my old posts, they were embarrassing, I'm always embarrassed of anything I do later on, not while I'm doing it, but if I reread something I said or someone tells me an embarrassing story about me I'm always like 'ugghh what a loser! who would do that?!'
I hope I'm not the only one...
Yehh and then I wrote a really long blog entry...and deleted it, I'm indecisive like that.
It was just a big rant, and all the negativity was boring and lame so I deleted it.
But now I wanna ramble on about AVATAR
No wait...
AVATAR
Awesome.
So basically, was not planning to see Avatar, at all. It looked crap, imo.
Something I would've loved 3 years ago, but now? A kids Sci-fi film with blue people with explosions and crap!? Hell no.
I'm never gonna judge films by their trailers again...that's a lie, but this one I was so wrong.
IT'S SO GOOD
I can't wait to see it again on Weds, and Boxing Day.
And I hate paying to see films again, what a waste of money.
Okay, why I thought it was so amazing:
-The beauty of the cinematography, visual effects the photo realism! [side note: The movie is 40% live action and 60% photo-realistic CGI.]
I've never seen anything like it...probs cos there is nothing like it.
It's like the Toy Story of this decade, well, Toy Story wasn't this big or expensive, but with the whole animation? I guess Star Wars is a better example...I bet it'll spark off a new trend in cinema.
That's why I'm seeing it again, cos it just won't be as good on DVD, still awesome, but a big part of it is the cinema experience. I'm urging everyone to see it at the cinema cos DVD won't live up to it.
-The planet Pandora
It's simply magnificent! So beautiful, I wish Earth was like that, but we'd probs destroy it. Stupid fucking humans in Avatars, always destroying nature for their own selfish needs ¬¬
I really want to be an Avatar, it's my new ambition! They're so cool. I wish humans respected nature the way Avatars do, and I wish our mother nature was that cool.
When I was a kid I used to talk to trees...and I thought they spoke back to me HAHA but yehh, it kinda brought back some of that childhood innocence, I am still a kid, but unfortunately I'm aware of the doom and gloom of the world...Avatar's aren't : (
-The actors
Pure brilliance! I love Sigourney Weaver and the fact that she was in Alien and now she's in another Sci-Fi James Cameron film. She's excellent, love her character.
Love Zoe Saldana, she's a great actress. Just all the actors are great.
And Sam Worthington [UK talent!] is a bit of eye candy in the film, even as a 10ft blue alien!
-The characters! All the female power in the film, from the beautiful warrior Neytiri, to the intelligent, and humourus at times, Grace, especially when she shows her affectionate side.
James Cameron really knows how to portray women in his films, I love it!
Oh and Michelle Rodriguez, whatever her characters name was, I loved her. One of my fave scenes
was with the steak 'Can you believe they're getting steak?!' BAM!
Awsome!
-The story.
So it isn't original, it's so similar to Dances with Wolves, that cartoon film FernGully Rainforest and also resembles Pocahontas, and yehh the main criticism people are picking up on is the fact that you can
guess the plot 5 mins into the film, that still doesn't stop it form being awesome!
I admit I teared up at one point,
two of my friends cried, cos you just love the characters.
Also I love how you watch it and you just hate humans! Towards the end we were all shouting
'kill the humans!' [If you watch you'd understand]
Oh and another critique, the soundtrack...not so good, have heard much better and original.
But who loves a film for it's soundtrack?! Seriously.
Also, did I mention the film has been 12 years in the making [Cameron had to wait till
technology caught up with his visions] so the idea for it was thought up before the whole
Iraq thing, which I think is awesome [the main plot is that humans invade somewhere to get
expensive elements since it's worth a lot back home, sound familiar?] But it's probs based on
Imperialism, well it obvs is.
And the film is the most expensive ever made, costing almost £200 mil!
Well, dollars but I can't find the sign.
There's probs a lot of other things I could go on about cos there's simply no point, cos I know how
good it is, plus there's just no way of putting it in words, you just have to see it yourself.
If anyone has even read this then they've either given up cos it's not their thing or they're gonna see it
so I may as well leave all the surprises to them.
If anyone sees it and hates it I'm sorry..guess it's just not your thing, but I presonally love it.
Go in with low expectations, it's just a shiteous action sci-fi film with blue things.
Oh, and I have a new favourite colour...if you can't guess it you're slow, BLUE
And another thing, I love Avatar's body, I wish I had Neytiri's stomach, and I wish mens bodies
were really like that...and they wore that little clothes if their bodies are like that...
I should post this on IMDB or something, it's like a proper review.
Oh and fave new song [it's a little obvious]
If you watch the film you'll get the relevance of the title 'I See You'
Please go see it? It's so worth it.

Still going on about this? -_-
I will probably see it sometime this week, if I can get one of my friends to see take me to it for free. (Friends work at the movie theater.)
Just watched half the trailer and got bored, considering watching it again later.
Right away it reminded me of this movie

Heilige scheisse, has it been decades since you last postet anything on this blog, well, not really, but it's been a while, a long while. Really good review. I might see it, just because your review on how good it was. If I can be bothered, I dunno if I'll see it on cinema though.
The trailer lools pretty boring imo, but if you say it's good, i might go see it. my brother really wants to see it, so maybe i can go with him..
HI btw, we haven't talked in ages, i miss you.
*looks
dammit
Ohh man...you guys are all gonna hate it and blame me, I'm sorrrrrrrrry!
Just watch it to see what the hype is all about?
Omg Natalie I LOVE THAT FILM, had it on video when I was a kid and watched it all the time, I think I knew all the words...may explain why I love this film.
The plot isn't original so I'm not surprised it's like so many films, it's just such a pretty film!
And I remember watching the trailer and saying how shit it looked.
Hey Mia! : D I've missed you!
It has been ages, like 6 months.
Oww man, if you hate it don't blame me, I'm a sucker for Sci-Fi's that have a chance of being true!
Malou!! Heyyaa i've missed you too!
Aww man, next time you're on msn we'll have a catch up and yehh go see it! For your brothers sake.
[Also, did I mention in the first half my eyes kept shutting and so did my friends...like I said it takes a long time to get into the film!]
Well actually, funny story is that Taylor and I were gonna go see it right?
She offered to pay for me and everything :D (see i told you my friends were generous unlike yours!)
but it was sold out
and we were like
wtf
so we saw princess and the frog
which was really entertaining and i got a little teary so you should see that if you have the time
but yehh wanted to tell you
I TRIED
oh and the above comment is me (natalie) cbf to log in
yehh I gathered that it's you from the up front...ness.
at least you tried! and yehh I may watch it with my kids, I said I wanted to, okay?!
I went to go see it again and at one cinema it was sold out so we went to another, towards the end of the film the fire alarm broke off in the cinema...SO I GET A REFUND AND I'M SEEING IT AGAIN
AWESSSSOME
