I'll go ahead and say that it was a good movie. For how long it was, it definently kept my attention the whole time. But I also have to note that James Cameron basically regurgitated the plot of Titanic into a sci-fi love story/thriller.

Two lovers meet from different worlds (rich girl/poor guy, human/navi), and attempt to overcome the shortcomings of man.

I could go into more depth about the similarities, but if you've seen both movies, I think you can see what I'm talking about. I don't fault Cameron for doing this, both movies made over a billion dollars. Just noting it.

i think Dances with Wolves is a much better comparison.. but with TEH BESTEST visuals and Most Epic Scene of All Scenes..

Beyond that, how many times has a movie been made where dude goes undercover and then has a change of heart about the people he infiltrated? You get the "I was supposed to stab yous in the back, but then I got to know you" line, very original IMO. But the movie overall was very good, it did keep you interested all the way through, there was never really a good time to say "Its kinda slow right now, Im runnin to the restroom"...

Evidently people have had suicidal tendencies from this movie. When I saw previews for it, I thought it looked stupid. There's some serious poo over this though. Crazy. People need to get out more. That day to day grind must be a killer *thinks to himself: stay in school as long as possible*

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By hepcat · Posted

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
