Hey Dee Jay

Aren't you glad you listened to your peeps? :P

And is it me or do others feel it too?

The destruction of Home Tree feels like 911.

Especially when the columns burst - just before it falls.

I feel connected to the Navi' moreso then.

For that IS their 911.

Luv Kat :)

I keep thinking about Avatar ;)

I was thinking of how wonderful it would be if someday they could actually grow a clone host body, and transfer my conciseness in to it like in the movie :D

I would of course want a female body :P

Hi Vanna

That sounds more like Surrogates.

A Bruce Willis movie that came to dvd about a month ago.

Everyone had the perfect body to live their life in....

but somehow forgot how to live life.

Another new release worth checking out.

As far as movie magic goes....

Send me into a Harry Potter movie!!

There has to be a spell to turn me into a girl!!

At least polly juice potion did just that in the books!!

Crabbe and Goyle had to be girl lookouts for Malfoy!!

I love this movie especially for its plot... It made me cry quite a fews times while I was in the movie theatre... I felt a great connection to the people of Pandora... It was hard for me to watch it, it brought up the feeling of that is how my family was destroyed so many years ago. I am native and most of my tribe was wiped out in massacres and slaughters so for me I was glad people of Earth lost and the normal life of Pandora was left to be what it was always meant to be.

Bought the DVD - Wide Screen.

It was dark - surprised me - much brighter on the screen

What if this were real? I would love to live through an avatar. The tail would be cool, sure, and I'd love the agility, but I'm just thinking how amazing it would be to live as a male full time and go around topless without having to have surgery.

well as a man, but ya i think it would be awesome... only if it would be permanent (like at the end) and not just for periods of time.

Directing was amazing, effects were amazing and overall the movie looked great, but I was a bit disappointed by the plot and some of the acting, to be honest. I understand that James Cameron was most likely aiming at the mainstream, but I still found myself saying "oooh, come oooon..." several times.

Hmm... Well, I'm difficult to entertain xD

You mean blue cat people Avatar?

Yeah, I hated that movie. The CGI was good but the writing and plot were god awful. But it's James Cameron--go figure.

Hmmmm... funny, I thought i would hate it, but obviously from my earlier post i liked it...a LOT! As a matter of fact I just rented it and watched it today, granted I am not sure i enjoyed it as much this time, but it is still a fun movie.

PS what other Avatar is there? Certainly not that racist, terribly cast, written and directed Air bending thing

I had not ever seen Avatar - I know, where have I been hiding? (Right here!)

On my Birthday this past Sunday Lizzy took me to see it in IMAX 3-D - stunning visual effects and very little of the traditional 3-D "let's throw this at the camera" sort just the forest wrapping around you and the little seeds floating out into the audience - it was used so much better to supply the depth of the backgrounds from inside the amazing control room to the forests and the floating mountains (thank you Roger Dean for painting those so many years ago for the Yes album covers!)

Check out Roger Dean's art http://www.visualgallery.com/yes/relayer_large.jpg - you will find floating mountains, cities - giant trees even multicolored dragons with almost butterfly wings - then watch Avatar again and thank Roger for inspiring James Cameron and the artists over thirty years later.

Love ya,

Sally

When I first saw Avatar I told my daughter the concept for the floating mountains had come from some famous fantasy art but couldn't remember who had done it. Thank you Sally for answering that for me. I love Dean's art but had forgotten his name.

I envy you that experience. I think your IMAX may be the closest one to me!

Love

I liked Avatar. I even bought the survival guide for living on Pandora. I thought it was an interesting read. My main interest is in the plants the creators came up with. I love plants; even if they are just imaginary. They are still interesting. I'm a tree hugger!

This sounds intriguing. I loved the film and could look at getting the guide with any xmas money I may get. My Dad recently got Avatar on BluRay so hopefully we'll be watching it again soon. ^_^ Was definitely one worth going to the cinema to see though!

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
