DR Matt Hough

I think you are making mistake by not going the see Avatar in a theater. It is not the best film I've ever seen, but it deserves to be seen in 3D and if possible in IMAX. I don't think the film experience can be duplicated by watching it on a TV set.

As a film reviewer who might review the blu-ray/dvd I feel that you should see it so you can compare the experience of watching both film formats. As a consumer I would like to know what the differences are and whether or not I would buy a copy.

Thanks for reading

But it's not my job to review AVATAR as a theatrical experience, only as a home video experience. And where will it stop? Why wouldn't I also go see it in a 2-D theater so I could compare it to the 3-D and later to its home video incarnation.

The fact is I have limited time and limited money. Fox is not sending me a press pass to see the film in a theater (unlike when I reviewed movies for a newspaper where I was entitled to gratis attendance), and if I start that with AVATAR, it wouldn't be fair to the other three hundred DVDs and Blu-rays I review every year that I'm not watching the films in a theater first either. I am not and would not make an exception for AVATAR no matter how spectacular the experience may be in a theater.

I see both points of view here. Certainly to review the film you should not have to go see it in the theatre. You are reviewing the dvd only.

However, as someone who seems to love films perhaps it is something you'd want to see on your own since it is supposed to be one of the more spectacular things to see.

TOD:

I do recall, when I was very young (i.e. 25-30

), having this stuffed animal of which I was very fond.

I called him "Jackie". I think he began life as a bear, but my memory of him is that he was so old that all the fuzzy fur had been worn off, and my mother kept sewing him back together.

The aforementioned coveted Lost In Space Robot:

For some reason, Ideal made these things in atrocious colors. Mine was orange and blue. Thank gawd we had Testor's modeling paints!

These often come up on eBay, but they always get bid up to ridiculous amounts. Even the ones where the seller claims "I don't know if it works or not because I do not have batteries."

I too had a toy robot, he was orange and green and was used in a few of my animated 8mm sci-fi adventures that I made back in my jr. high school days, namely INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN and LADY AND THE ROBOT.

DR DER BRUCER - From last night:

Thanfully, yes - it is a personal favorite. The dieticians should be pleased with one of my favorite lunches - sardines and avacado on whole wheat bread.

Following in the footsteps of Alton Brown's Sardine-Avocado Sandwich Diet?

As for the Topic of the Day...

From a purely collectible/e-Bay point of view:

-The three complete sets of "Star Wars" trading cards my brother and I had managed to collect after many trips to 7-11. -And lots of gum chewing.

-The original Transformers figures. The ones that shot out small plastic stars and bullets.

Got up at nine and had a ninety minute telephonic call, catching up with an old friend.

This morning I went birding in the light rain. Our best birds were about 300 Lawrence goldfinches (a rarity out here), a snipe, and a northern harrier scaring up all the ducks and wading things.

Now I am quite behind and must try to write a few pages, then eat, then write, then I'm going to have to pick up a shipment of boxes and put labels on them before Cason gets here at four. And why is there no USPS today? Why don't these mofos just declare every Monday a holiday.

The MLK Parade/protest was downtown. It amazes me that every a fight breaks out between the Mexicans and the Blacks. I know why it was more of a protest the first year or two (especially when it was not a State holiday -- here anyway). But it isn't it supposed to be a celebratory event to honor the man and Civil Rights, or is it just another excuse for a sale on mattresses? But what do i know?!
