I did record a song ("Free," with percussion and bass tracks... I love that recording gear!), update my WordPress blog, and play bd's, which was awesome again. By request, I have to learn a Coldplay song. Any suggestions? Make it quick, and I can still meet my weekly "new repertoire song" by Saturday, which is my last Potbelly day of the week. ![]() The rest of my day was taken up by an afternoon 3-D showing of "Avatar" with Keith. Wow. I don't even mean just the special effects, which were amazing. I'm talking plot... that writer (writers) has a hell of an imagination. Although, I do have some characterization convenience complaints. The (General? head military dude) and the whiny-ass head corporate dude were too one-dimensional. They were fully evil, blinded to possibility that the Na'vi race might be a legitimate people, and although history has shown that kind of callousness in real-life bad guys, it was too convenient. We didn't get a chance to learn enough about their characters to believe it. And even Jake took a little long to come around and empathize with The People... at one point, when he was reporting back to the General, he was already somewhat emotionally involved. I would have expected him to at least have some reservations about his reporting, or to demonstrate somehow his motivation for betraying them. Not that I think the writers should have added more characterization to a movie that started at 3pm and ended at 5:45pm. ![]() |
