Avatar.

I'm still seriously meh'ed about Avatar. The more I think about Avatar, the less I like it. No interest in getting it on blu-ray once it comes out. I'm glad the kiddies like it and all.... but honestly, I've seen all of Cameron's films multiple times (Aliens, T2 and The Abyss I've seen more times than I can count) and Avatar is at the bottom imho in terms of repeat viewings. I could watch Ripley battle it out with the Queen Alien a million times (hell, I could watch the end of Titanic over and over), but can I think of one scene in Avatar I really want to see again? errr... honestly, no.

Kinda like how my least favorite Pixar movie is A Bugs Life.... not a bad movie by any means, enjoyable by all counts, but at the bottom of the heap when compared to work by the same-ish crew.

I saw District 9 last night though, that was an awesome movie

Dude, we just watched that on Friday for the first time and absolutely loved it! Great scifi, and great story. And I love seeing CG that doesn't look like CG. The prawns never once seemed cartoony or fake to me. Really aided the film in drawing me in. I'd love to see a sequel, but last I heard, Blomkamp is talking prequel, which would be cool too, but I want to see what happens when reinforcements arrive! Anyhow, great freaking movie.
