I did. I enjoyed it.

Just eat lots of anchovies and Limburger before you go. ;)

I almost asked if they're supposed to help reduce motion sickness. :o

But you didn't. :thumb:

They sure take movie statistics to a new level these days.

Check out some of the stats they have on Avatar. Looks like they need an entire staff of people to keep track of these things.

Saw the movie in digital 3D today. Very nice! I ate lunch before going to the movies but didn't eat any anchovies or Limburger. :p I was very surprised how nice the 3D was and was glad that I choose to watch the movie in 3D although I'm sure the regular view would've been nice too.

What the hell kind of stupid evolution causes everything to have two of everything? Was that the most "different" thing they could think of? Giving everything two of everything? You're not usin' your brains! I had some other complaints but I forgot what they were. The font didn't bother me once.

two of everything? like . . . arms, ears, eyes, legs, sexes?

Everything had multiple PAIRS of eyes, front legs, wings, if I recall correctly. I imagine that they would like to explain this as coming from a common ancestor, but it occurred in so many different types of species that this stupid and pointless feature would have had to survive simultaneously in every type of animal in the world during all the millions of years that they differentiated from some common ancestor that had a useless feature, for some reason, in the first place. Oh, and all the competing lifeforms that didn't waste valuable resources on redundant parts (that add no functionality) would've been more successful and beat out all of the useless, extra-legged animals easily, or at least a majority of the time. There couldn't be a "planet-wide" reason for poor design, it doesn't work that way. Nature doesn't get "cool ideas" the way a graphic designer does.

Also, the flying things had fins on their heads that would've broken their neck if they turned their heads while flying.

All Earth vertebrates come from an animal with four limbs. The only group that I can think of that doesn't have them anymore is snakes. What bugged me evolution-wise is that the Na'vi didn't have any of the features that the other creatures had (except the brain-tentacles). I guess they're Pandora's version of snakes, except in addition to missing limbs, they lost eyes and breathing-holes too.

I thought at one point they showed the Na'vi breathing holes. But I admittedly wasn't paying much attention.

There were a LOT of vertebrate body plans on scenic Pandora. Hexapodal and tetrapodal all over the place.

I suppose the reason the antigravity metal didn't get called Cavorite in that universe went something like this at the boardroom:

It's an antigravity mineral that makes useful alloys. It's cavorite!

Nah, the Burroughs estate's legal people object -- and they've got it pretty well sewn up.

Well, shit... what'll we call it then? Unobtainium?

Um... you know that's a materials-science joke, right?

Yeah, yeah. But. Any better ideas?

And on that note, the meeting breaks up.
