Another farce. Primitive, fuzzy little teddy bears defeating professional, highly trained, well armed and armoured troops? The only thing the Ewoks really killed was Star Wars for me!

I can't agree more. When I see ewoks, to this day, i want to take them outside and smash 'em.

As for the Avatar movie, I think I'll wait for the DVD. I won't spend theater money on this. All this sounds like the ewoks all over again.

I've been wanting to see Avatar and thought I could take her to it. She was having none of it though and we saw The Chipmunks.

Vietnam and Afghanistan are two prime examples, and as I've understood it, this was sort of James Cameron way of pointing out what happens when military get privatized e.g. PMC companies ala Blackwater. Of course its a mix mash of dances with wolves as well - a tad Stockholm syndrome, but I think you guys can see my point. No offense meant by pointing out Vietnam and Afghanistan, but they are basically what inspired Cameron. __________________ Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special Olympics - You may win, but you are still retarded

But even Frank might understand it's about tactic and strategy in the end. Since the US has never had a proper war on it's on soil, the US really don't know how to use the land for the advantage. Consider that that if we did, surely we'd shoot dinosaurs with satellites! and Okto, how was that chipmunks movie?

I never saw the first movie, but she enjoyed it and I was glad I could take her to see it and do it as a treat for her. I'll get around to seeing Avatar in the next couple of weeks. I'm wanting to see Sherlock Holmes too.
