THE AVATAR YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FORWARD TO

*So, I've already talked about the white-washed Avatar. You know, the one with a group of white actors hired play around in Asian and Inuit cultures, pretending to be, well Asian and Inuit?

...No? Check the favorite posts list, under Yellowface Sucks.

Well, there's another Avatar coming. One I cannot wait to see, because the man, James Cameron is helming it.

James Cameron, the man who made the most successful movie of all time, Titanic (don't act like that movie isn't the ish, just because it's not "cool" anymore to like it).

...The man, who made the good Terminator movies and an Alien sequel that topped the first one, in my opinion.

...The man who unapologetically writes awesomely strong women, without even a smidge of pretense. Big-ups to Linda H., Sigourney W., Mary E., Angela B., and Kate W..

...And now we see what he does with Ms. Saldana. I'm predicting Summer Glau as 'River'-like fight sequences, if not better, from this other actor/dancer... And Sigourney, Sam Worthington (I told y'all Hollywood was trying to make him happen!) Giovanni Ribisi (underrated IMO), and Michelle Rodriguez.

Well, the teaser was released a good while ago.

The trailer for the other fail!tastic Avatar, came out recently. ...Which judging from, even the producers know it's wrong having white actors in yellow-face, because a hooded figure doing Star Wars' kid moves (thanks, vivier ) has his caucasian face pretty-well hidden *snort!* because you won't notice/care anyway. ...No, that's not sarcasm.

Anyway... The BETTER Avatar has POC's (people of color) a-plenty in it, cutting edge special effects, and Cameron's 'hasn't made a bad movie yet', pedigree behind it.

So, I'd rather show that teaser, despite the fact that it's pretty old:

Disregard the release date as that has obviously been pushed up to December 18th.

...And here is a new report on the building excitement, just twenty-five minutes of footage has inspired.

*This could be construed as a "promotional post" (among a few others) which I'm firmly against, but if I'm excited?? Then, I'm gonna share it. You can't buy my movie love.


P.S. If this movie ends up sucking, I will disavow all knowledge of this post, despite blog entry proof of its occurrence.

P.P.S. If the negative spoilers I've been hearing about Transformers are correct, it's as expected as some idiot texting at the movies and I WILL be blogging about it.
