Avatar Update

James Cameron doesn't watch Friday night's Hunting and Fishing Report:
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2010/01/13/james-cameron-like-the-redneck-nra-supporters-they-are/. People keep telling me to go see the movie; it seems they are enthralled by the visuals. These same folks either don't look for much in story lines (that's not completely a bad thing) or don't see CBS or MSNBC as having any type of bias, unlike the obvious mouth breathers at Fox. From what I can tell, Avatar is a little like Dancing With Wolves in its depiction of the alien civilization as being at one with whatever nature they're in, unlike the hideous militarists of these United States. Essentially, the Marines take over for the US Cavalry in terms of using beautiful sketches of noble savages for ass wiping. I'll probably end up seeing it but I do notice what I think are biases in films, etc. so a little teeth gritting will commence. Maybe I should throw down some Jack Black in the theater parking lot beforehand, while tossing some Wal-Mart bags and NRA paraphernalia about the place. Shoot a possum--anything's possible.

I take in some films (not, movies) at a complex sort of near my house that features more of the art house stuff and you hear the funniest shit there. Last time, the guy standing ahead of me announced to the ticket seller FOR ALL THE WORLD TO HEAR (making their grievances known is a big thing with these folks) that he wouldn't give his name for their email list because it is "a well known fact that the owner of the theater is a Republican." Yes, he said that. I guess the owner, like any dutiful, reptilian Republican faithfully reports such information to a bunker complex in Oklahoma run by the sinister forces (I know, redundant when referring to the R's) of the party which feeds this to a sophisticated enemies list that Dick Cheney jerks off to when he's not bayoneting pandas (that was sort of a Falkneresque sentence, only without negro dialect) . They become visibly angry at the US Army recruiting commercial that appears prior to the movie previews, obviously objectionable to their advanced sensibilities and mindful of the remnants of the military industrial complex constructed under BusHitler. They're also big into layering and they seem to like anything resembling cold weather--you can wear all that Whole Earth Provision Company shit you bought, which necessarily includes a scarf of some type and purple shoes (men and women). Lots of berets and those round, John Lennon type eyeglasses (I think you must see the world differently when wearing them, or something.). You can probably count the red state trash in the audience on one hand. If the guy owning the joint really was a Republican, he'd seize on the obvious money making opportunity by playing Le Revolutionaire at showtime. Reminds me of that great line in Kelly's Heroes when Rickle's character suggests that Eastwood "make a deal" with the German officer guarding the bank. "Maybe the guy's a Republican."
