Avatar: A very expensive film
Comments
...but was moved...
*repents*
I liked Avator because it was funny, romantic, fantasy, visually spectacular, and an important message too
Love & Peace

I'll be there with bells on!! I saw more of it during the Golden Globes award ceremony on TV and it freaked me out. I can't wait. I love big, huge movies!
Awww! Could you make me love you more?

You're forgiven my son... go, and sin no more!! Hahahaha!!

POISONED MIND HERE! BE AWARE!
I just saw Avatar 3-D. I thought it was great. A whole new experience in the movies. The 3-D was so much better than the old 3-D which didn't look real. This was like actually being there. And the story was good too, the whole web of life and interconnectedness of everything (eternal knot). Go see it, and see it in 3-D if you can.'

And you know what else is really funny? About ten minutes after I posted that I went offline and I was reading and the thought suddenly occurred to me, "Wait...there was no dragon in H.R. Pufnstuff! It was just a big guy with a big round head and some kind of weird face or something."
I got it all wrong. Memory is so unreliable. And it's only going to get worse...
Lmao!!
You're so adorable.
I did figure it out after I thought about it for a minute. I just didn't mention it because I didn't want to encourage you...:p
BTW Have seen what Jack Wild looks like now? Time has not been kind.
That could have come in handy when Peter Jackson was casting. Too bad Jack was already dead by then. ....Or was he? In any case, the resemblance is incredible!

I'm being lazy now. What did he die of? He was wonderful as the Artful Dodger. I love musicals and have about 20 of them. "Oliver" of course, is one of them.
Doing what ?
acid = LSD (lysergic ACID diethylamide)

it may be old news but there are apparently quite a few people struggling to come back to the real world after seeing Avatar. So much so there are forum threads dedicated to this problem...i saw it on BBC morning progs recently too. And to think somein the third world might think anyone with access to a computer was living in paradise. Perhaps the next step is some form of religion - if you live in a tree for 3 consecutive months you get to go to pandora when you die. But seriously... interesting though isn't it.

I think he died if lung cancer, if I remember correctly.
Watching 'Oliver' when it came on TV about once a year when I was a kid was a family ritual of ours. That and the magnificent animated version of Oscar Wilde's children's story 'The Selfish Giant'.
Now I'm really off topic....
weeeeevetakentoyou so strong. Its clear were goingtogetalong.

Oh god. You're so adorable you're killing me. Seriously. You're the sweetest thing in this whole world (except for Francesca...).
Yes. The one to do with S
E
X. Although if you were trying to be quiet you probably should have used small letters. Lol!!
The cuuuuunider yourself part of the furniture thing sounded like something a creepy alien says if you say it slowly....
Love & Peace
Joe
P.S. Who's this Francesca of which you speak? :wtf:
Love & Peace
Joe
I've seen thousands of pictures of kittens and lots of live ones and I've never, ever, seen a kitten as cute as Francesca. She's a little calico....well, she's not so little anymore. I'm talking around November. She was this tiny, bright-eyed, super intelligent, spring-loaded, fuzzy, fuzzball of unbearable cuteness that I've never come across in my whole life. Her head was round and her little body was round so she looked like two little round fuzzballs with a pair of ears and a tail attached.
I have this great memory of her sitting on my lap looking up at me in anticipation. Of what, I don't know. She was excited about everything. So smart. I'd play this little game with her where I'd pretend my hand was a creature under the blanket and I'd 'sneak' up on her and when I made a sudden movement she flew a foot and a half straight up in the air like she had springs on her feet! It was freaking hilarious! I would laugh and laugh.
I'll have to ask my sister for a pic. I'm kinda sad I didn't get the chance to see more of her when she was little because she's getting older and bigger now. Oh well. Impermanence.
We cannot only speak of the “good”; we must speak also of the “bad”; the “bad” are indispensable to chose to be “good”: how would we be able to say we were good if they weren’t around too?
We need a touchstone then we can assert: “if these are bad then the others are good”.
I have already explained several times that the intentions of the ego, of loving identities, of good resolutions, of wanting to do, are all very interesting but it is also necessary to discover our “non-being”.
After all, somebody must pull the strings of the “avatar puppet”…
What will your Avatar be?
The Intellect, The Soul and the Spirit: this is the Avatar that moves the “puppet”, those puppets that act in life and are concerned with their trivial “things”.
The “puppet” is physical, sensations, astral, hormones and mind.
What drives the “puppet”? The wind as it blows.
The “puppet” is moved by the wind; it is moved by all the natural elements around us.
Thank you for having been active, even reading hundreds of Useless Words, some in one direction, some in another, some in one way, some in another…. Driven by events, life, problems, fears, the little things that take our fancy and move the more “corpulent”, more concrete being: the “puppet” you are all dealing with.
It’s the puppet who’s been participating so far.
In many of you there have been “flickers of Avatar”, of the One inside.
We say Avatar now because it’s the title of a film (1), in the future we’ll say something different.
On some occasions we have also spoken of this as “intellect” (one part), or “entanglement”, defining it in a rather technical manner (sub-nuclear physics) ...
