The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

Here is Critical Drinker's review.



This review convinced me not to bother to see this movie, but it doesn't sound like this movie is overly woke (unless simplistic environmentalism is woke) or deeply flawed.

Even if the movie is not great, I do not like to miss a portion of a movie because I had to go pee.

I drink water like a fish and I thus have to go urinate often. If I am preparing to watch a movie in the theaters, I will deliberately go on a water fast, so as not to interrupt my movie watching experience.

According to Critical Drinker. This is a three hour run time with a simplistic story. For me that's a deal breaker. I don't mind a three hour run time if it's a brilliantly engaging story and I don't mind a simplistic story if it's relatively short.

If this was any other movie, I could wait for it to come out on DVD or streaming and pause the movie to urinate, but this is Avatar. Avatar is all about the amazing visuals and amazing visuals deserve to be seen in a theater.

If I want to watch a better written fantasy story about industrialization versus noble savages, I will watch Princess Moanoke. It's noteworthy in Princess Moanoke that neither side is entirely good or entirely bad. Yes, the industrialists are doing horrible damage to the environment and the sentient creatures that are one with the wilderness but the industrial people are looking after their family and their even provides jobs for lepers who have no where else to go.

I think if James Cameron wants to make a three hour Avatar movie, he should not make the humans one-dimensional villains.

 

I thought there would have been more parents of the ones involved in RoP...

 

...probably yes. Then Bezos should have saved more money from the budget of RoP and with those, bribe more people.

 

Hey Iger.

 

Just the fact that there is a "annual lgbtq inclusivity report card", fills me with incredulous amazement.

Well, it's impossible to satisfy those who cannot be satisfied. You only ruin yourself.

 

I wouldn't mind it if every special interest group had something like that and you could access them all in one place. I don't know what Europe has but I think America's system of G, PG, PG-13, and R ratings for movies are pretty arbitrary and imprecise.

I think every interest group could maybe come up with their own rating system, and take maybe twenty movies that are extremely well known and dissect them showing in detail "this is why we rate them like we do" then you can figure out which of the umpteen sets of sensibilities matches your own (or what you are in the mood for) and use one website to rate movies the way you like it.

From a capitalist point of view, you could analyze which sensibilities or combinations of sensibilities makes the most money.

 

This analysis is not very funny but it seems spot on to me.

Chato is informative and funny



I thought better of Jon Oliver but his show has been dipping in quality the last couple years.
