Why Conservatives Hate Avatar (apparently)

To say that the film has evoked a storm of ire on the right would be an understatement. Big Hollywood's John Nolte, one of my favorite outspoken right-wing film essayists, blasted the film, calling it "a sanctimonious thud of a movie so infested with one-dimensional characters and PC cliches that not a single plot turn, large or small, surprises.... Think of 'Avatar' as 'Death Wish' for leftists, a simplistic, revisionist revenge fantasy where if you freakin' hate the bad guys (America) you're able to forgive the by-the-numbers predictability of it all."

If hating America means being against a resource hungry band of barbarians thirsty for blood no matter what cultural cost, then I despise America. If our planet was in the kind of trouble described in the movie (total deforestation, forced to eat algae because we killed all the animals and plants, etc) I would rather crawl on hands and knees to beg someone to help a stupid race rather than destroy another.

Nothing against you conservatives, but if your going to be legitimate politically you need representatives that have half a brain cell.

oh lucky your conservatives are only half-witted i wish i was as fortunate over here but it seems Harper has found out how to completely milk the system to get his way in the country. maybe if he was half-witted the Liberals or NDP would actually do something useful

I hate Avatar, the movie was so over-hyped just because it had purdy CGI and 3D.

While I'd love to converse on politics, its forbidden from the forums, because of the emotions that can sometimes accompany political talk.
