Avatard

Liz: So are you coming to see Avatar with me and Carly on Sunday?
Me: Hell no.
Liz: Why not?
Me: I don't want to see it.
Liz: I'm telling you, you do.
Me: Why? Just because that one guy is hot is not going to make me go see it.
Liz: I know but it is actually a really good movie. Plus you get the free 3D glasses! Come on!
Me: Oh, God. If you know me at all you will know that 3D glasses are not the way to my heart.
Liz: But freebies!!
Me: Another reason I don't want to see it is because one of the guys that flies the thing they come in is the weird robot guy from Grandma's Boy.
Liz: Please stop making me laugh at work.
Me: I hate your faaaace. I'm thinking about getting metal legs.

Sorry, Avatar freaks, this movie is not my scene. I hate computer animated weirdness that is supposed to make me more socially conscious if I go see it.

For a while I didn't even know what the point of the movie even was so I read a plot summary:
"There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity." (From IMDB)

So basically they are remaking the story of the Indians with a cripple guy. Am I right? He really just needs to join forces with J.P. and get some metal legs.
