It's fucking stupid. I've seen GWTW fully a couple of times - Mom loved it - and it sucks so hard. But it was the Avatard of the day, people needed escape from the hard times then, and the hard times they could see coming. That's why I think Avatard did so well. We were fucked then and had fucked up times a'coming.

My mom loves GWTW too. Never seen it, myself.
Avatar may not have had the most original plot or dialog, but man, James Cameron sure knows how to film sweet action scenes. I still love that movie for the action alone.

At this point, since it's still on the cultural radar even peripherally, it might be worth watching GWTW just to say you have. But it will disappear very soon. Good thing.
Ratchet and Clank on the PS3 still looks better to me than anything from Avatard. He didn't film shit anyway. He had someone program it.

If you were to make a "No Racism" edit of GWTW it would be about 30 minutes long.

Interesting. I knew one of the characters was a slave (right?) but I didn't know the extent of it.

Granted, I've never seen the whole thing, but I know it all takes place on a southern plantation full of awful "happy slave" characters and basically wants the audience to feel sorry for rich white Southerners because of how tough their lives are after the Civil War. Fuck that shit.
