Yep my friend-if you go back a few posts, you'll see that I told you that "Avatar" sucked it. Oh sure, I have friends who are attacking me, saying "But the effects are amazing! And the 3-D!"

Yeah, so?
It's still a looooooong, stupid movie.

And yes, "Up in the Air" is one of the two best movies of the year. I think "Hurt Locker" is tied with it. Both are great, great flix.

I knew "Avatar" would suck, but I still had to see it. What amazes me is, like you said, how many actually like it. I just don't get it.

And, yeah, we're on the same page: My other favorite movie of the year is "The Hurt Locker." Although, I keep hearing good things about "Crazy Heart" and "A Single Man." We shall see ...
 
Haven't seen "Crazy Heart" yet, but saw "Single Man" while in NYC last week.

Good to be sure, but more style than substance in my book. Firth is great, Julianne Moore is hot, and Ford shoots a pretty movie. But the story is so downbeat, and the lead character so morose, it's tough to care much (at least it was for me). Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

(I'm not sure what to think of "Crazy Heart." From what I've seen, it looks a lot like "Tender Mercies.")
 
"Crazy Heart" looks exactly like "Tender Mercies." I said that loudly to a friend the first time I saw the trailer.
 
Eerie brain meld.

I suddenly have the desire to hang a Carrie Underwood poster in my office.
