Fun times

Habe heute abend anderthalb Kilo Spargel geschält. 58 Stück, wenn ihr das unbedingt wissen mußt. War eine Heidenarbeit, aber es meint wir werden dreimal hintereinander Spargel essen. Yum!

James Cameron's Avatar finally came out on DVD. I haven't seen it in the cinema, so I bought it and watched it tonight. I was surprised how much I liked it, despite the sometimes glaringly obvious CGI-background. Loved the alien fauna and flora, even though CGI characters still don't move convincinly. Considering that this film took place on a low-gravity mond, however, it wasn't so off-putting as in, say, "Beowulf".

The plot was woefully predictable, though. Noble savages, greedy corporations, bloodthirsty soliders, unlikely love affair... oh, god, been there, done that, still falling asleep from it. Still, the basic idea of the avatars was good, and I enjoyed the sci-fi parts of it before it turned into all that mystical mumbo-jumbo.

All in all, my money was well-invested.

*g* Bei uns gibt es heute Abend auch frischen Spargel! :) Mit geräuchertem Schinken + frischer Butter + Petersilie...yum!

I haven't seen Avatar yet, mostly because I really, really dislike the trope of the *Noble White Man Rescuing The Poor Savages*...XD!

Predictable is an understatement but I guess it teaches the future generations all the different cliches. :p

Viel Spaß beim Spargelessen! Wir werden dieses Wochenende wohl noch was eingefrorenen Spargel vom letzten Jahr essen, müssen endlich Platz im Kühlschrank kriegen.

Avatar is well worth a watch if only for the beautiful visuals. The plot was total cliche but I loved the detail they put into the Pandora environment and all the insects and flowers and such. It would have been even better with a less predictable plot but I enjoyed it overall.

Yes, Avatar would have been really something if Cameron had only put more effort into improving the plot. But even with the weak plot, it's so visually gorgeous it's worth watching. (And in 3-D, it's simply stunning.)
