What do you get in “Avatar”? You get bits of Brian Aldiss’ Hothouse (The Long Afternoon of Earth), bits of Ursula K.Le Guinn’s The Word for World Is Forest and bits of Starship Troopers in a nice package with little or no imagination expected from you. Mixed with 3D, CGI and 100% made in USA action, some even see references to “Dancing with the Wolves”, “Matrix”, “Terminator”, “Alien”, “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”, “Robin Hood” and even “2001 – A space Odyssey”. What else can you want more? Maybe some popcorn.


By the way, which of the avatars do you think is the best: the cool japanese one, or the "da ba dee da ba di" one?



If you don’t "see" the story, you can still have fun: amazing floating mountains, technology of the 22nd century or even try to catch a glimpse at Neytiri’s breasts. If you want more, wait the DVD release.



In conclusion - good 3 hours entertainment for the price of four beers :)

Remember, remember...


Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Poetu' Garii de Nord


Poemul unui om care se trezeste intr-o dimineata si-si da seama ca e cam belita

"In odaia stramta,
Pe un pat diform,
Zac strivit in perne
De un pumn enorm."

-Asta e?
-Asta e.


Poemul unei fete pe care am intalnit-o in tramvaiul 44 si la care n-a mers vrajeala

"Surisul fetei din tramvai
M-a fermecat definitiv
Am inc-o drama la activ
Exact ca domnul Ion Susai."

- Cine-i domnul Ion Susai?
- Un prieten de-al meu, nu-l stii tu.
