We watched Avatar last night

It was annoying and fabulous, but mostly it was GORGEOUS. As Adam said half way through the film, "I can't believe we only get to spend 2.5 hours here." It was also very typical James Cameron - simplistic, stock characters, visually impressive, and also emotionally engrossing. Anyone remember Titanic? It came out when I was in college and I saw it three times in the theatre. I was engrossed, despite its cheese, and I sobbed my eyes out at the end every time. Sheesh.
