And in both instances it is equally true. [quote name='gallowsCalibrator'][font="Comic Sans MS"]...but it wasn't pretending to be anything better than what it was.[/font][/quote] Yes it was. Or rather, while Avatar was an admittedly clever redux of an old and mediocre story (which still made it mediocre), PoP paid homage to its game with all the quality of a spaghetti-western storefront façade. Doom and the Resident Evil trilogy did better, even setting aside the obvious draw card that is Dwayne Johnson. [quote name='gallowsCalibrator'][font="Trebuchet MS"]It also gains points over Avatar for not being a preachy, self-important sack of crap.[/font][/quote] I don't know if it occurred to you while watching, or Jake's talent in working with a script stiffer than [spoiler]omgsexualmetaphor[/spoiler] was enough to distract you from the script itself, but true to Disney standards the movie contained enough force-fed life-lesson hogwash to dam Niagara and Victoria Falls both. It was most definitely a preachy, self-important sack of crap; the only difference is that Avatar was riding first-class on the Al Gore train and PoP didn't say one way or another. I question your objectivity in dealing with Avatar, sir, for although it certainly was not the glorious archetype of What A Movie Should Be as has been declared to us, it was also no worse than Prince of Persia.[/font] Edited June 10, 2010 by Allamorph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALSO it is a strange occurrence for normal hours Piano Parade, but if you worked early shifts you catch more of the senior members of society. I happened to have worked during those hours. I dont know why old people like gettin up early but it becomes a routine, and sometimes it spreads to going out to places. I used to see a certain guy who'd shop every other day, and when he didn't need anything he'd just wait in line with an empty shopping cart after he explored a few minutes.

Axel Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 So, I was out in my garden today with one of my female cockatiels. Everytime the wind blew, she'd grip on my arm really tight and whenever she saw wild birds, she'd hide under my clothing. xD Claw marks galore.
