Kaltxì!

I am more excited every day to get my butt in a seat, surrounded by old and new fans of Avatar, In fact, I just bought my ticket, stopping in the middle of this post to make sure I got mine. And of course I selected the best seat in the house and someone snatched it from me as I was making the purchase.

So I bought the one next to them.

I am not sure how many times I will see the original movie again. I only saw Star Wars (1977, the "real Star Wars") once, okay, then two or three times. I mean what was the big deal? if you liked a movie, you saw it maybe twice. Meanwhile my friends had seen it 54 and 75 times in the opening months. It was a mania I could not fathom. But I did see Avatar at least a dozen times before it left theaters (first run). I have a good memory.

I was more impressed by the many messages layered into the movie, the implications, the contrast of philosophies (corporate, Pandoran, Sec Ops, scientist), and the culture. This is what we used to discuss and debate "back in my day" (lol). I am hoping the new movie will bring us more of that, and I don't doubt J.C., especially since he had his deal with FOX long before the mouse snatched it up. You know they will milk the blue kittens for everything they can. But I think I will see Avatar several times before the new movie, while trying to avoid seeing trailers for the new movie (like, "good luck with that," right?) and avoiding spoilers like the plague. So I will probably try to spend most of my time in this section—talking about the old movie "until" after I see the new movie. Otherwise I will know too much about the movie before I get a chance to experience it fresh and untainted.

So, I have a question for those who wish to keep their minds unstained by spoilers and new movie revelations or predictions: How many times will you see Avatar? Will you see it at all before the new movie? Will you see it with friends or try to get into meetups, or (like me), will you just quietly buy a ticket, don a baseball cap, and slink down deep into one of the reclining chairs of a Regal Cinema's ($16) reserved seat and lose yourself to the world of Pandora?

When will you see it? Do you have tickets? And if the new movie *is* out by the time you read this, did you get to see Avatar in a theater? Did you watch it on dvd or some streaming service?

Thanks for being here

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! :)

Just seen the rerelease in the theater, reveled in the Way of Water teaser.

I sat five rows behind you, two seats to your left.

Seen just today and surprised, that cinema hall was completely full (explanation is simple - public holiday in my country). If time permits, maybe I'll try again, but I don't know, how long Avatar will be presented. I'd prefer to have chance to see both original and number two together during Christmas, but sadly that doesn't happen - original movie is available for limited time only, AFAIK....
