James Cameron's Pocahont... I mean Avatar

Did anyone else notice that the horses in Avatar sound exactly like the raptors in Jurassic Park? I'm pretty sure it's the exact same audio.
It's not like the Wilhelm Scream where it's a generic kind of sound effect (that's now a joke). The raptor screech was specifically designed for that animal in the movie. You can't recycle a custom carnivore sound as a sc-fi horse squeal.
Come on Jim Cameron, you're better than that.
It was the only thing that bothered me more than the NaVi-sized basketball court on the military outpost. Not very fair to the other 99% of the humans (who don't use avatars).
This is not to say I didn't enjoy the movie. It was visually gorgeous, and the stereoscopic 3d only enhanced the richness without crossing the line into gimmicky and distracting.

Slanguage

I love that the phrases "I'm down" and "hit that up" are used interchangeably, by me.

netflix rating game part 22

part 22 of the new netflix rating game:this one is slightly vague, but i can tell you that the robot does not actually die at the end.
great job netflix, ruining the movie for parents by telling them it's not an awesome ending.
sure, at first you think it's the end, but then you realize it's only the beginning.

aside from the links on the right side of this website, you can use the dreaded twitter for locating some good grub. twitter has the added bonus of allowing businesses to get exclusive information out to a wide variety of people very efficiently. i am frequently alerted to great specials and events at my favorite locations, right on my phone.
