Yes, Cameron.
Are they based on the same anime? Or is it just a coincidentally identical title?
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Hey. New board.
The latter. "Avatar" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" are different. The first one is about aliens and uses some cool CG techniques (read about it in the Times today). The second one is about a boy that is saving the world from a bunch of people that can manipulate fire using the power of martial arts. He does this by manipulating earth, wind, water, AND fire using different types of martial arts. Awesomely. Also, it has funny things and good characters, which the first one may or may not have.
And if M. Night Shymalan actually makes a live-action version of it, I will kick him in the nuts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend Andy is propmaster for the motion-capture part of the Cameron film, which is apparently a ginormous undertaking. The props in motion capture are all made as wire armatures of the outide dimensions. Very technical and cool.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I watched Miss Potter yesterday. Zellweger *was* less squinty than usual (but then, I've had a soft spot for her ever since I've first seen her in The Whole Wide World) and Ewan McGregor was utterly charming. Maybe it's because they've worked together before, but they had a nice unforced rapport together.
The movie itself was slight but quite pleasant, with gorgeous travelogue shots of the Lake District.

See, that sounds like a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Yeah. I had a nice time. It didn't move my world or anything, like Children of Men did, but it was calming and pretty. A bit saccharine, but sometimes you're in a mood for a little bit of sugar. Zellweger's English accent didn't quite cut it -- not enough of a starchy upper class miss -- but I didn't mind over much. And McGregor sang briefly, leaving me a pile of mush.
I love the bits where the animal characters in her paintings moved.

This right here buys my ticket.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We watched Little Miss Sunshine last night and I don't think I've laughed that loudly in ages.
The last 5 minutes of that film was so incredible.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Cashmere -- agreed! The last scene totally makes that movie.

I really really loved the teenage son. But then I loved all of the characters in all their eccentricity. I like that the movie has a happy ending, despite the fact that all of their troubles have ended up worse than when they began the plot. Puts a lot into perspective for me.
