Description

We had to do it, so we did. Topics include: the insane camera setup they used on this, Cameron: Movie Napoleon, the...particular aesthetics, and the faint nostalgia for Michael Bay real heads feel while watching this thing. There's stuff we like about it, too.

Read this to learn stuff about Avatar.

Ellis rec here. Corbin rec'd a video game, again. Next week: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
