if you're not already registered with the New York Times, you'll need to create a log-in to read the article.

I have not seen Avatar, not sure I will, and this piece gives some of the reasons I've been leery.

A friend of mine who saw it dismissed it by saying that she's no writer, but she could have written a more original script. I think that sums it up well. It's the repetition that makes these kind of plots so tedious. One white messiah film ... ok. Several white messiah films ... um, any underlying issues at work here?
