Pandora and the Blue

Wow!!!!!! No this is not a post about the Saints winning the Superbowl. I attended 2001 A Space Odyssey, Star Wars (the real first one in 1977), all the Lord of the Rings movies, and they were movies that had a tremendous impact on the industry. The viewing public too. Earlier today I attended a movie in Corinth, Ms., at the Malco Theater. I refuse to watch any movie in the Cinemark in Tupelo. It's downright nasty. We also have a Malco and I've been there several times. It's not nasty. I still think the one in Corinth is the best. Anyway, got off on a tangent.

James Cameron was born in Canada and made a living driving a truck. His family moved to California and Cameron developed an interest in moviedom. He's had many hits that were blockbusters and is rumored to be hot tempered and hard on cast and crew members. That aside, he has changed movie making and viewing forever. Don't believe me? Go see Avatar in RealD 3D. After sitting for 2 hrs 40 mins we walked out of the theater in awe of what we had just experienced. This is not some cheesy 3D film from the '50s, but a major innovation in movie making. You will truly want to reach out and try to touch things. The plot is good, the pace is exciting, the acting is brilliant and the special effects don't seem like trickery on camera. They seem to be genuine.

If this movie doesn't win major Academy Awards then the Hollywood hafwits that vote should be put on a rocket and shot into the moon. This is by far the best movie going experience to date. It is now my all time favorite movie. Go see it before it leaves the RealD 3D theaters.
