Larry King Avatar
Had my Uncle cremated this weekend. Which might've been a mistake...especially because he wasn't dead yet. Y'know, you'd think the banging on the coffin lid woulda been a red flag. But my Aunt had a coupon, so...
Went to see Avatar yesterday, the animated 3D fantasy about a group of Explorers who travel to a New World to exploit its inhabitants...and one of them becomes romantically involved with one of the native peoples. Of course, I liked it the first time I saw it back in 1995. When it was called 'Disney's Pocahontas'.
I know it's the frontrunner for Best Picture this Sunday. I just couldn't get into the whole love story thing with the blue people. They were kinda creepy looking. Like cats who swam in a toilet filled with Ti-D-Bowl.
Some movies just don't lend themselves to 3D. Like porn, for example. Went to see 'Ass A Tar' in 3D at the Pink Pussycat theatre in L.A. Wish I had the umbrella concession there.
When we were kids we didn't have 3D movies. We had 3D radio, though. My brother and I would sit in a chair, turn on Little Orphan Annie and my old man would throw stuff at us. 'Look out, Annie! A brick!'
Of all the best picture nominees, my favorite is the one about the troubled, African American teenager's journey to personal redemption and acceptance. 'The Blind Side: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire'.
