Avatar

Yes, we went to see Avatar last week. Yes, it's a thin storyline but a breath-takingly beautiful movie.

Yes, it's a little bit Matrix, Star Wars, LOTR, Battlestart Galactica, ... its' good versus bad, machines versus nature, a tale about people living together, integration, etcetcetc.

I was a bit amazed to read this week that apparantly EVERYBODY finds something to bristle about: feminists who don't like these male Avatars being taller and stronger than the females, anti-smoking lobbies who protest against smoking in space stations, the Vatican protesting this nature worship and alien gods, ...

While we thought, when leaving the cinema, that it was already half a miracle that this tale so far hadn't (yet) inflamed the hearts and minds of people all over the world who have experience with this kind of American military (and other) arrogance ...
