Avatar is Dune for dumb people. There, I've figured it all out so you don't have to.

Imagine Avatar, ok, that dopey James Cameron movie? But now replace all the sexy blue cat creatures with slimy Jabba the Hutt monsters, all lying around farting and puking and compelling slave girls to dance or suffer the teeth of the Rancor. It's much better, right?

I searched my feelings today and decided that the Battlestar Galactica finale still annoys the snot out of me! They flew all their technology into the sun! What were they thinking!? They have no idea what kind of viruses are floating around down there. Are they going to switch from laser cutters to stone axes? Don't they want plumbing anymore for the gods' sake? They don't need electricity?? I guess because they no longer have anything with a plug attached to it, why not! Don't they even want refrigeration!? A comfy freaking chair to sit on? Oh, I hate that Apollo so much! I hate I hate I hate you Ron Moore!

This trailer for the new live action Star Blazers movie looks amazing. It was Star Blazers stacked on top of Star Wars that made me a Science Fiction geek lo these many years ago, and now I've become so cynical on the subject I should be cursing and spitting over the notion of a live action Star Blazers (the way I curse and spit at my scarred portrait of Ron Moore every morning). But damn, this looks like it could be really good. Nah, I guess not.
