Avatar II

This is ridiculous.

The people who are claiming that Avatar is a "racist" movie are more racist than the people they are accusing.

That was an interesting article Ransom. I thought the comments afterward were also quite interesting and some of them were intelligent as well.

It is true that the Avatar story can be boiled down to a combination of Pocohantas and Fern Gulley. But really, in this rare instance, I don't really care that much. The visuals and delivery of that story are what blew me away in Avatar.
