Dinner Party Talk – Avatar

James Cameron’s #Avatar never seemed like a sure thing – giant blue aliens? 250 million dollar budget?! – but by now it’s obvious that his vision won out. After only two weeks in theaters, Avatar has already grossed over a billion dollars, the fastest any movie in history has done so. It’s become a phenomenon, and rightly so – in glorious 3D, it’s a dazzling experience for (almost) the whole family. Do yourself a favor and go have an Avatar adventure – 3D glasses are more flattering than you think. And it is a movie going experience you will always remember. In the past week, I’ve discussed the movie with an eight year old and an eighty year old. Both cried during the movie. Both said, “It’s the best movie I’ve ever seen.”
