I enjoyed The Stand pretty good mini-series nothing and I mean nothing compared to the book though like most everything. Still worth the check out the plot is government makes a super flu and something goes wrong and it gets out slowly infects the world despite lethal measures to quarentine the infected areas and then small fraction of the human population naturally immune try to survive. One of Stephen Kings first books and IMO one of his only great books.

Thats why I enjoyed Avatar and most media that still comes out and why I put that quote up I realize that have a brand spanking new idea is non-existent so I never expect anything to be...new.

Sounds Interesting I'll have to track down a copy and give it a read but. Aside from some handi-cap...no idea what politically correct term I should use lol... using a fake body to do stuff on another planet thats all the connection. Now like I said in a earlier post I found a significant amont of similarities with another sci-fi book called Speaker for the Dead and sequels written by Orsen S. Card. Which had quite a few similarities with avatar - Mankind finds a planet inhabited by a primitive but sentient life form that are still in the earlier stages of technolgy like using spears and such - They have a special connection with the trees - When humans tear down the trees they get all pissed because they consider trees as sacred if not more then their own life - Ender the main character a ex-soldier comes to the planet after hearing about these aliens killing some scientists to try to find a peaceful solution Theirs a couple more but I can't ruin the premise of the book the Ender series is a fantastic read. But Freiflug88 this is another work that to my knowledge Cameron hasn't given credit to. So I don't know maybe he did randomly just happen to have similar ideas but I did read that Cameron said he borrowed alot from other sci-fi works and Dances with Wolves "Avatar is primarily an action-adventure journey of self-discovery, in the context of imperialism and biodiversity.[57] Cameron has said that Avatar shares themes with the films At Play in the Fields of the Lord and The Emerald Forest, which feature clashes between cultures and civilizations, and acknowledged the film's connection with Dances With Wolves, where a battered soldier finds himself drawn to the culture he was initially fighting against." ^ taken from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_for_the_dead

You sir are my new favorite person take it however you want.

So now the troll is complaining that others are trolling him? awesome I love the internet.

nah I wouldn't say "all humans are dicks" to be the messege it was don't be a douche and think you're culture is the ONLY culture... which was beat to death.

Can we see a screen cap of this scene? As I assume you didn't see it in theatres repeatedly. Also will James Cameron win a oscar? Its likely for best visuals, best picture I doubt though. Also I don't think anyone here is flaming you for not liking the film its quite the opposite nearly everyone thats commented on the movie has said the same thing Decent plot amazing visuals and they were entertained and you seem to be taking this as an attack on your opinion.

You seem to missing something... 90% of the viewers who watched it admited a 3 year old could follow the plot. How it was marketed wasn't BEST PLOT EVERZ it was something along the line of James Cameron spent forever making some new technology to redifine cinema and HE DID. It may be the same rehashed plot from 100 other movies but even Cameron said it was *link below is him saying so.* http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomple...imcrackery.html Also weren't you the one who a few weeks ago was so hardcore about NEVER supporting this movie and now your here saying you've watched it " saw the movie again and again each time i just cant get away from the fact the navi are praire native tribes." lol Just not sure why people ...the few and far... expected a space epic from like the link above said Dances with Wolves in space. I mean even South Park did a episode about it months ago

lol read the Enders Game series. As I mentioned earlier Avatar heavily borrowed alot from the second book Speaker for the dead and your little sequel reminded me of the third book...

So the number 1 complaint I'm getting from people is the "OMG we know! Love the enviroment, jesus stop lecturing us stuff"... now what I don't get is how District 9 can sit there for the entire movie and tell you all humans are evil and racist and deliver the same sort of messege I thought Avatar was getting at , respect people, and everyone was cool with district 9 but the moment a pro-environment thing is ever dropped into a movie everyone on the internet rages. I remember this exact same thing happening when Wall-E came out. People felt like instead of enjoying a movie all they could get out of it was the change your ways or you'll all die backstory of the movie, and I mean seriously how many futureristic movies show NOT evil companys and a happy earth that still is green. I don't get it. I could go on for hours about how strange this opinion is.

Saw it and loved it Visuals - The "3-D" was mindblowing , it was also the first modern 3-d movie I've seen, everything was so lush and well detailed I was never bored because there was SO much to look at. Plot - Nothing groundbreaking but I never expected it to be. Nice homages to some science fiction and fantasy works to really show how big a fan Cameron is himself. Although the similarities to Speaker of the Dead were kinda to blatant. Characters - Loved the ones I should love and hated the ones I should hate. Blah blah blah stereotypes I don't mind the stereotypes in fact I find the huge self destructive hate, tormented past, revenge driven main characters of today are irritaing and I enjoy a character with no elaborate backstory. Action - When it was there it was done fantastic. Problems - I had some questions about what this mineral did and why a giant robot would need a giant combat knife... *number 1 gripe with frontier as well* and some time the plot was toooo predictable but that also was some of the charm when things are so predictable and the lack of twists every 5 minutes it makes it even more shocking when there is no ZOMG twist. All in all I would say it was on par with Star trek and District 9 maybe even a step above for the brick shitting "3-d" visuals. 9/10

Watched the new trailer I have much higher hoped for this movie after watching this trailer. Although it does look like a new Ferngully.

Great episode but at the very end Cartman and Kenny are arguing wtf?

Game - Lufia II most heart breaking ending ever in a game Anime - Legend of the Galactic heroes, very few times do I remain emotionally destroyed hours after watching certain episodes Movies - Gladiator I've seen that movie close to 20 times and the ending always gets me

I'm 24 and the original/DYRL is in my eyes a near masterpiece everything else is from ok to good at best and Frontier was the only one I could never understand why people liked it. I actually gave up on the show before the mid point waited for it to end then marathoned it because I couldn't remember all the plot points and characters that never went anywhere Macross TV - 9.5/10 DYRL - 9/10 FB 2012 - 9/10 II - 5/10 Plus - 7/10 7 - 6/10 0 - 5/10 Frontier - 4/10 So I don't think you're getting old I just think macross (as much as it pains me) should die.

Maybe one of the funniest movies I've seen all year if you haven't see it

Twilight zone kicks so much ass. To many good episodes to pick from but my favorite episode was the one where the guy walked back to his childhood town to find that he was back in time from when he was a boy. Deep episode no zany twist just a touching episode.

I don't understand why IV gets so much hate I thought III was a FAR FAR weaker game especially if you never played 1 and 2 only huge gripe I had with IV was that you could only use 4 people at a time... wtf meanwhile III had probably the most retarded battle system ever so many times my characters would run around the entire battle field before they could attack the enemy that was about 1 foot away and walking through the same places close to 40 times with different characters was boring as hell. IMO best to worst are 2, 5, 1, 4, Tactics, 3, tierkries although even the worst games are still pretty damn good.

I'd recommend playing them in order as 1-3 while mostly stand alone become even better with knowledge of the back story of the world and characters. Also if you import completion data between 1-2-3 4-tactics you get some cool bonuses.

Suikoden I is available for the PSN no news on II though which is the elusive one. I got all of them used dirt cheap (all below $30) even got 1 for $5 at a pawn shop case and everything

To the people who mentioned the slow pacing and not feeling to urge to complete the series I personally thought it had one of the most powerful endings out of all the gundam series. Personally Turn A is in my top 3 favorite MSG series (other two being 0080 and Z) I don't know why but I just felt much more attached to the characters in the show and it always gave me this Miyazaki vibe with the quasi re-imagined industrial revolution with new tech and bi-planes galore at the beginning. Stick with it.

Fantastic game series even the worst games in the series are still great games Like David Hingtgen II is by far the best in the series. Also for anyone interested in the Suikogaiden games http://www.freewebs.com/ramsus-kun/Suikogaiden/Home.htm this group is translating them slowly but surely

I as well applaud your efforts to try to get into gundam I originally was introduced through Gundam Wing/0080/0083/08th MS and the Super robot war games and from there it was alot of researching before I had the slightest of understanding between the time lines and merging time lines and what was a OVA of what and what was a independent show and what was a direct sequel VFTF1 - You didn't like Igloo? I personally thought it was the best and most interesting gundam thing to come out in the past decade, it broke nearly every single gundam cliche ever. First no gundams... second no 10-15 year old pilots and 3rd the more realistic they tried to portray everything. Oh well to each their own. As for your Turn-A experience I don't remember there being to many fights in the show overall so maybe I need to re-watch.

Just got back and it was fantastic. Pixar rarely lets me down so I always go in with high expectations and I rarely get let down. I'll agree though it was very depressing for a childrens film.

Lunar 1 is being remade/rereleased AGAIN http://www.rpgamer.com/games/lunar/lunarho...lunarhotss1.jpg I love the two main lunar games and all but holy crap why not put your efforts in to making a good sequel instead of remaking the first one 4 times...
