Oh no! Another reminder that your life sucks! Whatever shall you do?
Let's face it, if you're life was exciting and fulfilling then you wouldn't be wasting 3hrs of your day watching a movie. Unless you're exciting & fulfilling life has you working in the movie business. My guess is, it doesn't.
Of course reality sucks in comparison; did you see any fatass Na'vi running around with acne living in their mom's basement? Okay, fine, they lived with their mother in a giant tree; but they were still skinny and pimple free. Plus, who wouldn't want freckles that glowed in the dark?
Avatar isn't the first hard look in the mirror people have been forced to take, it's just so damn shiny and pretty that even the media couldn't look away. Will it inspire cleaner living, alternative energy & less wastefulness? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. . .
But let's not forget that there are millions of examples of lives much more awesome than our own out there. Star Wars, Star Trek, just about any comic book you pick up, Tomb Raider, 27 Dresses, Alice in Wonderland (Hell, pick one), any of the happy dancy Disney movies. . . but let's all jump on Avatar because it makes us humans look at ourselves in a negative light and because the giant blue people didn't worship Jesus.
But for those of you who wish you lived on Pandora because everything on that planet is awesome, I suggest you go to National Geographic and check out some of the crazy critters that live on THIS planet. You want strange & glow in the dark things? Check out the ocean. They have galleries upon galleries of translucent, neon, color changing and alien creatures living right in our oceans on our planet. Better yet, check out this video.
Yeah, I know, this blog makes me look soft. You'll live.
At least take this away with you: Pandora is cool, but the Earth is awesome.
