I don't think I've seen this posted around here yet.  It's RT's Oscar picks.

As much as I'd like to see Avatar win Best Picture, I'm pretty sure Hurt Locker will take it along with Best Director, mainly for the reasons RT mentioned.  I haven't seen HL, so I'm not passing judgment, but I think RT's analysis is going to hold true.

2022 update: Working on the new astrology book. "How to read tarot" books are on Amazon, if you are into that sort of thing.
Okay, so the old podcast is here: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/radioavatar It was goofy fun that ended too soon, but we had creative people. I hope we can get a new gang together (interested? PM me, let's make some magic!)
(Very old, outdated) Na'vi FUN activity book is here: But what are you doing? Let me know! :)

I wish, unfortunately the oscars start very late for me, so some mods may need to continue updating if I have to go!

Ok, Ben Stiller mastered the "Na'vi" look.

Not so much the language.

Bah! Ben Stiller must dieeeee! That was sooo unfunny!

Ben Stiller didn't even try. He just made clicking noises. James Cameron should have stomped him with an AMP suit.
