I'm such a skxawng.
Yes, we saw his film Avatar last night (along with many, many other people, apparently). Of course we had a blizzard in Maine, yet we still drove the 20 miles down to Saco to see it in Imax 3D.
Foolishly we thought we were going to be the only people out in the weather. Nope. The parking lot was full of trucks, Jeeps and other four-wheel drive machines. Gotta love Mainers. A little snow's not going to keep them from the visual event of the decade.
Thus we ended up in the second row, a bit close (especially for the subtitles ... in the lovely Papyrus typeface, no less). But still, it was an awe inspiring film.
I won't give anything away - it's one of those rare movies that everyone needs to see. It has elements for everyone: sci-fi, fantasy, love, war. It's also a metaphor for everything: the Iraq War, deforestation, the colonization of the Americas.
It's just one of those things that everyone should see.
I can't believe I doubted James Cameron.
