Jumping on the Stupid Avatar Bandwagon

i didn't want to like the movie James Cameron is a little douchey/cocky and it was getting so much hype and things that get a lot of hype get me all bothered (re: Slumdog Millionaire.... it was good but come on it wasn't THAT great right) and theaters were crowded etc etc. so that coupled with the fact i was in egypt when the movie came out left me avatar-less until last night.

But turns out the movie was kick-ass, especially (or rather particularly) in terms of the 3D. was so amazing I didn't get nauseous or anything (ahem CORALINE ahem). Kinda curious to see what it would look like in IMAX... either way i concede and avatar gets a thumbs up from me. i will stop drinking the haterade.

Found works from roger dean, his stuff is what the world of Pandora was loosely based off of. Maybe not so much loosely. It's a weird mix of kinda looking like looney toons cartoon style and salvador dali, dont you think?




also awesome in the movie is how the forest would glow - reminded me of when i went to puerto rico and we took a night excursion to this lagoon where there was bioluminescent plankton. we swam around and as we moved it would agitate the planket and glow this awesome aqua/blue. really the coolest thing ever. that's where my favorite color came from.

this video is pretty much how it looked. just had to be careful not to duck your head underwater and accidentally swallow some plankton. i'm sure the water looked nast murky in the daylight. lets not think about that.
