So, I find myself really, really amused at all the articles and naysayers that are popping up re: James Cameron's Avatar. People wailing about how expensive it was to make, how it's going to suck, or flop, or never make back all that money, or other variations on the theme.

First, I want to ask them "Have you seen the trailers?"

But beyond that, this is James Cameron we're talking about. The last time the guy made a film, it was the same story - "OMG, it's costing so much money, wail, moan, whine." I remember when he waved his director's fee in order to complete Titanic.

And then it became the number one grossing movie of all time - and still is, twelve years later.

Uh, maybe people should have a little faith, is all I'm saying.

(Plus, seriously, have you watched the trailer? How can people think this movie is going to suck??)

Generic, misguided SFF about some white dude assisting in exploitation of an indigenous people then having a change of heart and ~*~rescuing~*~ the Noble Savages after he sets his sights on a hot piece of Noble Savage ass.

Yeah, that's pretty much my concern and/or impression, too.
