Only two weeks to go before the Season 6 premiere! The video below is just a little something fun with clips from Seasons 1 and 2. It originally aired during the Superbowl in 2006. I'm addicted and my last fix was May 13, 2009.

United States of Pop
DJ Earworm mashes up the top 25 Billboard hits of 2009 to create one awesomely danceable song. I've listened to his mashups from 2008 and 2007 and this one is the best in my opinion. I think the music was peppier and just seemed to flow together quite nicely. The Black Eyed Peas must really love it because I Gotta Feeling is the underlying beat for the entire song.

Avatar Smashes Box Office Records and Feelings Simultaneously
Titanic was the very first movie my husband and I saw together when we met. Does that seem hokey? It might but Titanic was a fantastic movie (I don't care what anybody says) and it holds a sentimental place in my heart. Naturally, we went to see Avatar opening weekend. (I know, I'm way behind in posting this review.) You can link to the trailer from my Twitter account.
James Cameron knows what movie making is all about. An experience. He's all about details that create a whole, living world within the movie and giving the audience a catharsis. His newest movie, Avatar is no different.
I'm fortunate enough to live in a city that has an IMAX so we got to see the movie in IMAX 3D. 3D!! It was phenomenal. If you live anywhere in the vicinity of an IMAX theater, go see this movie there.
What did I love about this movie? Just about everything! I love just about anything that has to do with fantasy and/or science fiction and Avatar fits the bill. Sigourney Weaver (always a treat) played one of the lead scientists and Michelle Rodriguez (aka Ana Lucia from Lost) popped up as military support.
I won't give Avatar any props for original plot, as I felt it drew on numerous classic themes (think Romeo and Juliet) and obtained ideas from other movies. There was kind of a watered down version of the Force from Star Wars and a native people who were similar in culture to what you saw in Dances with Wolves. Hey, I'm not dissing because I'm sure I couldn't come up with anything better, I'm just informing.
It was still a good story and the cinematography and graphics were beyond stunning. Cameron's imagination shines and the time and effort of the creators comes through in a vivid spectacle. I loved the rich colors and brilliant landscape of planet Pandora.
Avatar does have a prominent political message. Cameron shows zero love for profiteering corporations and promotes a nature-centric lifestyle. That's fine but maybe he should've issued a viewer warning. Why? Oh, don't you know that people have become depressed after watching this movie? I'm not a lawyer or a gambler but I bet that someone out there is working on a deal to sue Cameron for creating an on-screen utopia. Check out this news video:
Fortunately, I did not suffer from depression after seeing Avatar. I'm one of those rare people able to distinguish between reality and fantasy and realize that life is what you make it. (It's a gift.) I would totally go see it again (IMAX 3D only) because I loved the special effects that much. Also, I love movie popcorn. Go see it if you're into exceptional special effects too! (Movie popcorn is optional.)
