I'm willing to admit that there's a 90% chance that the problem I have with Avatar comes down to attention span. I was basically raised by video games.
As far as the Jurassic Park thing goes, it depends on what kind of metric you're going with, I guess. Personally, I still really like it. But with that said, as far as the Spielberg films go, it seems to be the one people give the least amount of credit to these days, which is a bit strange when you consider that it made just under a billion dollars and is really only second to E.T. in financial success.
By the way, my cousin actually thinks Jurassic Park 2 was better than the first one. Dude's a moron.

Man, there is a lot of joyless fucking going on in here. That is sad. Fucking should never be joyless.
I've seen the movie four times (yeah, I'm a fanboy) and after the first viewing what I really wanted the movie to do was SLOW DOWN. I can't see how you fell asleep during it. The pacing borders on relentless; in each viewing the 2:40 FLEW by for me.
Anyway I liked it, in case you can't tell. Plus as an aerospace nerd I liked seeing the spaceship and rotorcraft design, too. There's a huge sci-fi writeup on the interstellar ship on the Pandorapedia, which is a semi-official wiki of the in-universe stuff. It made the geek in me very happy.

Why on earth do people try to compare the plight of the Na'vi to the Native Americans. It seems ignorant and self centered (assuming the people who make this claim are from North America).
What did Europe come and try to exploit Native Americans for? Grasslands? I'd say this is about a hundred thousand times more comparable to either South Africa and Diamonds or maybe, maybe, Mayan gold or something. And go fuck yourselves if you are going to back up your answers by saying Mayans are "Native Americans" because ALL of the new world is "America". Thats a cheap cop-out and makes you look stupid.

I gotta tell you, given my family background, this hit me as fucking hilarious.
