No, anonymous is your sister-in-law’s mother.

We did wind up seeing Avatar, of course. It wasn’t as bad as I expected, though certainly nowhere near deserving of its hype.

Perhaps it’s best you don’t see “Avatar” since it’s being reported that people are becoming quite upset after seeing the movie. CNN reports that “some fans say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.” Wow Avatar…your taking “being blue” to a whole new level…

P.S. Is anonymous your mother?

Oy. I always laugh at this argument because it implies that the person chastising someone for a movie he/she hasn’t seen doesn’t do the exact same thing (“That looks awesome! I can’t wait to see it!” or “That looks terrible. Why would anyone want to see “‘Sex and the City?’”). It’s disingenuous and hypocritical. Not that I have anything against hypocrisy. I practice it daily.

Besides. You seem to overlook the basic point. These are films I have no desire to see. So why would I go see them?

If you have NOT seen any of these films, your words are irrevelent, inmaterial, and un-noted. your review AFTER seeing the films mentioned would be of more interest to your readers. Go see the films, then write!

I’m psyched to be namechecked in your facebook post.

I read a critic’s comment that “The Blind Side” was two hours of white people’s self-congratulation. That was the best point I’ve seen against it and enough to keep me from seeing the movie for now.

You do have one thing to relate to in Avatar: Your search for “unobtainium.” haha – that was lame by my own admission.
