totally pointless

I actually saw Avatar, the movie, at the Movies ... big kinda auditorium with lots of quite comfortable chairs, to hang out in while watching a two and a half hour long movie together with a bunch of unknown people, about fifty of them this particular evening. *sigh* ... why do you do some of the things you do? Really... Somewhere I´d read something about this Avatar and had come to the belief that this was a movie worth watching, it was supposed to be a contribution to the environmental debate, it was supposed to show the consequenses when you severely exploit nature.

Well yeah, maybe it did, but the whole thing developed into some thick fairytale filled up with cliché characters, so unbelievebly dull. One typical hero, one typical heroine, one typical moron evil bad kind of guy with a certain need to kill everything that moved, including big trees ....

I ended up doing this for my daughter, and that was a reason better than most, but I was disappointed because I had expectations, which I´d already known but forgotten about not to have, and now again learned not to have when going to the movies ... *breathing* ... paying about 15 dollars a head for being bored, which has been one of the reasons why I haven´t been to the movies since I don´t know for how long, like for several years or decades even ... wow....

... well now I´ve been there and daughter is very pleased and my mates on Facebook compare it, Avatar, with the Pocahontas movie by Disney and that´s not a very far fetched comparison if I may say, and thanks to that I had myself a totally pointless blogpost this late evening. Not too bad.
