> [@RikWriter](#): > > Yeah, damn that evil industry for making it possible for people to live longer, healthier lives than we ever did when we lived “in harmony with nature.” :rolleyes: > > Seriously, I wonder how many of the people fawning over Avatar’s message have considered the industrial capacity it took to produce the movie… The movie wasn’t anti-industrial. It was anti-homicidal douchebag. Newsflash: Some corporations do outright evil things when they think they can get away with it. This in no way makes all corporations evil any more than a movie about a clown serial killer makes all clowns evil. Wait, I think they all might actually be evil… 😃 ---

If it weren’t for Cameron’s Abyss, Aliens and T2, this movie would be derided, lampooned and called out for the pile of festering caramelized feculent slime that it is. > > This movie is rife with terrible acting, horrific dialogue, and its ‘message’ is delivered through constant abuse of moral hazards. We have moral relativism, betrayal and treason being perpetrated for the greater good. The greater good of course being subjective so a movie like this promulgates the idea that all crimes against any state or authoritative entity are justifiable… > > This block-bustering famous director / famous actor garbage has to stop. Um…yeah…you need to lighten the fuck up. ---

In all fairness though, it was Dances With Wolves / The Last Samurai / Pocahontas with space marines and dragon-riding aliens. ---

I see a little ball of rage alternately glowering and smoldering. Is this guy just googling for threads about the movie and pasting that all over the internet? I’m picturing some sort of oil tycoon fresh wearing an orphan skin coat who worked his whole life so that he could end up becoming wealthy enough to be able to sit at the computer for 18 hours a day posting this sort of thing. ---
