^I love this guy
soooooo...
i knew i'd seen that movie before...
visually amazing? yes. unbelievably cheestacular script, complete disney pocahontis rip off with a side of rocky and bullwinkle? yup, that too.
That still makes me laugh.
Did you guys also shit all over The Lion King?
At this point, the pocahontas references are about as fresh and the hamlet/lion king references. that is to say, not at all
The irony being that posting a pocahontas poster, what, 2 months after the film has been released and the point has been made thousands of times on the internet, on tv, in magazines, shows even less originality than the story in Avatar
Apparently I'm getting a little too worked up. I just dont understand why someone would want to print off that script thing and show it to people who genuinely liked the movie. Why shit all over their parade? They know the story is similar to a couple other movies. they've heard it a thousand times before you brought it up. but guess what? They just dont care. What is it that makes you want to try to ruin it for other people?
comparisons with Pocahontas and other similar stories from the American frontier are so obvious, to the point that it seems hard to believe that someone who likes the film wouldn't notice.
Anyway, I'd still rather watch The Lion King than a performance of Hamlet.
I'm pretty sure Hamlet was the inspiration for the Lion King (son, king, etc) not MacBeth (crazy wife, kills the king, goes nuts). Maybe you're confusing the Lion King with Scotland, PA? Happens all the time.
That doesn't change the fact that AVATAR BLOWS. Fucking Joseph Campbell hero's journey bullshit.
Beav, if this doesnt convince you, then you are beyond reason

see, i thought it was more
I finally saw this film tonight.
What a breathtaking, visually stunning movie, despite some lame dialogue in the second half.
I kept thinking about Dances With Wolves while watching it, only this time the Indians won.
I wrote a rather successful essay way back in highschool comparing the Lion King to Macbeth. There are a ton of similarities
What is it that I posted that you couldn't comprehend? Was it the tongue in cheek tone that went over your head? Maybe you should take another shit and think about it for a while
