I enjoyed Avatar. The 3D specs are very cool! It took a while to get used to the effects and joining a group of jogging, gun-toting marines made me feel slightly sick to begin with, but I got used to it quickly and enjoyed the occasionally heart-lifting beauty. I didn't think the story was any thinner than most Hollywood blockbusters. At least the greedy mining company and the violence-loving military were the baddies for a change. The message was good - oneness with all life and the ultimate sense of holding it sacred because when it rises against you.. look out! It's just a pity the Amazon rain forests don't have some of those bulldozer-headed critturs to defeat the logging companies.
I just hope they never develop smellyvision. '1984' had people strapped into chairs that enabled them to feel the physical sensations the characters were feeling including the hairs on a bear-skin rug I seem to remember. Interesting. Now there are so many porno movies it might make actual sex with a real person quite redundant!
Well, that's my last day-time excursion for a while. Shame. It's all systems go now for writing copy for the local rag (I can't believe how bad they are at feature writing themselves) and pricing, pricing, pricing. The cooking is still to come.
I'm off now t book my trip down to Cornwall, which unfortunately will be a few weeks after the shop opens and leave dughter in a bit of a hole, but she says she can cope. No-one is indispensible!
