So... Does This Mean I'm A Sci-Fi Geek Now? Cuz That Could Be Cool.

This weekend I had to get my car serviced, and what's more fun than that, right?  

SO fun.  

Except it was, actually, because in the three hours I had to wait, I went to see Avatar.

I was not psyched about it.

I went solely because it was the only movie that happened to be showing in the window of time I had available.

But here's the thing: Avatar is amazing. Astounding, really.  Not because the script is so good, or the acting will bowl anybody over (although CCH Pounder ROCKS the blue folks' language), but because the effects are beyond anything I could ever imagine.  

Hello, 3-D!  Turns out I'm a fan.  Two dimensions are so old school, so last century, so passe.  

And can we talk about how GORGEOUS Avatar is? Seriously, I'm running out of superlatives.  This is starting to get embarrassing.  Someone MAKE ME STOP.

Honestly.  I've never seen anything like it.  I can't even tell you.

Just go.

You really must see for yourself.

I'm not sure one movie makes you a sci-fi geek but it's a start. haha

Hubby wants to go see Avatar right after Christmas. Will be interesting. I usually send hubby to the theater with one of our adult boys.

The last two movies I saw in a theater were.....PLEASE DON'T LAUGH....were The Passion of Christ and Titanic. And I pretty much knew the endings to both of those stories so *shrug*.

I'm looking forward to Avatar now though after so many friends have said positive things about it.

Chris - in combination with her speaking on a panel at Comic con at least once and creating Dollhouse (definite Sci-Fi) I think she is definitely eligible for membership in the geekdom.

However, she may want to avoid this due to potential dating ramifications. I don't believe Sarah considers a 20-sided die OR a blaster replica an appropriate gift from a significant other.

LOL Steve. I'm happy to say I've never seen a 20-sided die OR a blaster replica. Sci-fi geek or not I don't think either of those things would ever make a decent gift. haha

I, too, loved the movie. My husband's big question was: Where did Sigourney Weaver find a Stanford tank top that would fit her 10 foot tall avatar?

[Lo]

the movie was amazing, i agree.. i could have watched them explore for hours.. i preferred that to the action scenes!

I was going to go next week. Now I need to go tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with a sci fi geek (in the right context) if you can be Starfish (in all the other contexts).

On Starfish... maybe they are missing something? Worms can also split themselves in 2 (or 3 or 4). Then again, you have the female queen bee at the other end of the spectrum ;-)

...just wanted to clarify that the Starfish paragraph in my original comment was "tongue-in-cheek" and meant to be humourous... the only problem is I re-read it now and it sounds bad. Sorry :-(
