Avatar (3D)

Avatar (in 3D!) is phraking awesome. It’s so well rendered you forget you’re watching CG despite the fact it’s a whole different imagined planet. It also means we can now do whatever we want with images. We can commercially synthesize images that look real.

Then, of course, it’s a huge massive effort to remind us all we have advanced in 5 thousand years is in the way we’re able to kill far away people. That and the varnish called “democratic western society” about not killing and not stealing amongst ourselves.
