We Took the Blue Pill

The clouds have parted for cinema and what can we see? Whales. And no, we're not talking about the whales from that Star Trek movie that had the whales in it. Nor are we talking about Brendan Fraser's uncharacteristically heartbreaking performance in Darren Aronofsky's characteristically exhausting film school project. No, we're talking about a slightly larger whale in a much larger film. That's right, folks, it's time for the long-awaited sequel to Avatar...Avatar: The Way of Water. James Cameron returns from the depths of his own ego to remind us how movies of this type are actually meant to look, work, and feel. It's Jim's world, we just live in it. So take the blue pill and join us (and the rest of the world) in rooting for the Viet Cong. Oel ngati kameie. P.S. Avatar Wiki let us know that Jake Sully released his toruk at the end of the first film. The red dragon lives.
