Avatar… Again?

This Avatar business is starting to get annoying.

James Cameron now has more money than God thanks to his latest movie Avatar. Now, I’ll be honest with you: it was not a bad movie. The visual effects were so eye-poppingly amazing it made me forget that the plot was pretty much Pocahontas with a preachier message and sillier names (Unobtanium? Are you friggin’ joking?). Ridiculousness aside, it made more money than any movie ever. So James Cameron decided to capitalize on that. I don’t know how the DVD sales went, but soon the movie will be showing again in theatres.

Lemme run that by you again: Avatar will be playing in theaters. A second time.

James, you ass.

This is the ultimate cash-in tactic. Rereleasing a movie within a year of its original release is ridiculous. The ads claim that it’s been visually upgraded and there’s extra content, but so what? This is kinda unacceptable, dude. What possible extra content is there? Did you make the sex scene explicit this time? Because there’s only a very tiny demographic of people who wanna see that.

The thing is, I wouldn’t be so upset if it weren’t for the fact that this movie made so much money so recently. Do Cameron and Co. think that we’re so stupid that we’re gonna watch what is essentially the same movie twice? In the span of a year?

Please don’t prove him right.

People, I’m gonna be frank with you: This stuff is not acceptable. Please, help me send a message to Mr. James. Protest his treachery by not seeing this movie again.

Thank you.
