POST! And review of Avatar.

YAY FOR POSTING STUFFS.

- When I was at the mall on Friday, I got a kids' pizza at this random Italian place, and when I didn't get a prize I asked, "Don't I get a toy?" And so the lady glared at me and gave me this really crappy stamper with a chicken on it. It didn't work that well, and it looked like the chicken got beheaded. Abby and I, being...Abby and I, decided to give it to Fraver, since a) it's a chicken, and b) it's beheaded, which is even more Fraver-y. So on Monday, we both walked awkwardly into his room before prime time. He got done talking to some random person, looked up, and went, "Well, this oughta be interesting." Abby and I looked at each other and mouthed stuff and made faces for a little bit, but finally I just handed it to him and Abby went, "Here." I explained that it was a beheaded chicken stamp, and he just grinned at said, "Cool. A beheaded chicken stamp. I wish I could virtualize it and stamp people's essays...hmmmm..." Then we pretty much left. :D
- Speaking of stuff for Fraver, Kaliyan sent me a virtual gift, and it plays the chicken dance in the background and has a bunch of chickens doing random things, and there's a poem that goes: "Your excitement is building / as you're eying your gift. / You rip at the wrapping, / the box lid you lift. / Your heart will race, / your pulse will quicken, / when you see / your rubber chicken!" Then, at the bottom, it says, "From a good friend comes this chicken! Isn't it just Finger-Lickin'?" I think I should send it to Fraver. :D
- Um. I worked on TT. I'm still working on TT. I kinda wanna do something else, something with AU in it...mostly inspired by Avatar, which was freakin' amazing (:D) but also cuz I've been in the mood for AU for a while now. (:
- OH MY GOD. So, you know Denali? The amazingest horse EVER that I rode at camp? MY MOM IS BUYING HER FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

MOVIE SUMMARY/REVIEW, WITH SPOILERS.

Earth has no more nature on it, not much of anything, and it sucks. So the people are going to this new world, called Pandora, where there's this mineral, conveniently named "unobtainium," which is really valuable. There're three types of people on Pandora: army dogs, who just wanna shoot everyone, get the stuff, settle in the planet, and be done; businesspeople, who just want the unobtainium, and scientists, who want to study the lifeforms and learn their culture and ask politely if we can live alongside them.

This guy, Jake Sully, got in some something with his twin brother. His brother died and he lost the use of his legs. So he was sent to Pandora instead of his brother, who was a PhD scientist and was going to study the life on Pandora. Jake was a soldier in the navy. Anyway, Jake gets there and all the scientists are like "Rawr. You're a soldier. Go away. I want your brother, not you."

So Jake goes and talks to the sergeant of the army, who decides that if Jake gives him the information he recieves through his diplomatic-ness, he'll pay for the expensive surgery that will help Jake regain use of his legs.

Jake's mind is then attached to an "Avatar," or a body that's made up of both his DNA and DNA of the aliens who live on the planet, and he soon gets lost in the woods on an expedition to sample the life on Pandora. An alien woman finds him and rescues him from the strange, wild animals that are attacking him, and Jake follows her. She protests, saying that he doesn't belong and should go back to his own world, but soon the seeds from the aliens' sacred tree fall all over Jake. The woman takes this as a sign and allows him in.

Jake learns about their culture and language, and soon takes part in a sort of coming-of-age ritual, and bonds with a flying beast.

Sooner or later, the army gets tired of waiting and brings out the gas, bombs, guns, etc. and Jake rushes to warn his new family, The People, so that they can evacuate and save themselves. His teacher/savior/...MEGA SPOILER: /mate gets pissed off at him and yells at him for knowing all along that the army was going to attack them.

Everyone explodes with anger, etc., etc., and the army blows up the tree. Everyone's crying and Jake's (human, scientist) friend is really injured. So he takes her and another scientist in a hover plane thing, meanwhile trying to figure out how the heck to get The People's trust back.

Then he has an idea: a really crazy, life-threatening, INSANE idea. (ANOTHER MEGA SPOILER, PRETTY MUCH TILL THE END OF THE SUMMARY) He remembers that there have only been five People since "the first songs" that have bonded with this huge flying thing that's a huge, powerful, awesome being that kills the little flying things that the other People bond with.

So he uses his flying thing to fly above the huge flying thing (AHHH. I wish I could remember what they were actually called, instead of calling them these things. D:) and jumps onto the huge flying thing. The huge flying thing tries to kill him, which is what the flying things (in general) do when they bond with you (weird, huh? xD) and he bonds with it so he's all awesome.

He tells the People to get all the other clans to come to one spot, so they do, and then the army fights them and they almost lose. But Jake prays to Ewa, the magical goddess thing, and Ewa makes all the evil animals (the ones that Jake almost got killed by, earlier) kill the army.

Jake has a second Crowning Moment Of Awesome (first one was bonding with the HFT) when he totally demolishes the sergeant, and his mate has a Crowning Moment Of Awesome when she saves Jake, who got "unplugged"/put back into his human form by the sergeant right before the sergeant died.

And then the dude behind me goes, "WHOA, she's HUGE!" cuz the aliens are all 12 feet tall and she was holding tiny little limp-leg like people hold toddlers/babies, and it was funny. (:

Then Jake has this ceremony thing where Ewa will either put his consciousness in his human body, his alien body, or nowhere (he dies). It goes into his alien body (duh) and the movie ends with this dramatic opening of his alien eyes.

And it's happily ever after. Even though (way up there ^^) Jake's friend dies by going through the same ceremony as Jake did, except her wounds were too bad. So she just woke up (barely) and went, "I'm with her now. Ewa is real. :)" and died.

The end.

SUMMARY WITHOUT SPOILERS.

Jake Sully, whose twin brother died, goes to a planet (in his brother's stead) called Pandora, where his mind is attached to an "Avatar," or a body that's made up of both his DNA and DNA of the aliens who live on the planet. He's caught up in a confusing situation as the army ("GUNS GUNS GUNS! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! KILL KILL KILL!"), the businesspeople ("We just want money. Let's get the valuable mineral and jet."), and the scientists ("The smartest approach is to learn about the aliens and their culture, so that we can peacefully agree to live among them and perhaps collect a little of the mineral along the way.") all butt heads.

He gets lost in the woods while on an expedition to take some samples from the plant life and is taken to the aliens' "Hometree," and soon becomes enraptured by their culture.
