Exploring the intersection of pop culture, mass media and the geek/gamer mind

Avatar-bashing

A single movie like Avatar is seen as so powerful, so able to shape public opinion or show the public some potentially radical and mind-altering vision, some fear it threatens to usurp the power of traditional institutions which usually have the job of making meaning and creating structure in our society.

Avatar isn't anti-capitalist.

Avatar isn't anti-capitalist. It is strikingly PRO-property rights.

The moral of the story is that if you want something, you've got to work for it, or trade for it. You can't just feel entitled to something and go attack people to get it.

The other thing Avatar promotes is physical activity. Sure, Pandora is pretty to look at. But all you're doing is sitting in the theater, passively absorbing it. In reality, your body wants you to get up out of the chair and run around like you're experiencing life for the first time! Outdoor activities make you feel better and be more fit.

AVATAR: Satanic Illuminati Movie EXPOSED!

http://rikijo.blogspot.com
The occultic meaning of the word "Avatar" is really Lucifer/Satan. -That alone should have raised eyebrows, but it didn't lol
-Think about that for a minute..what would happen if James Cameron just named the film -SATAN- ...would people then want to consider the real meaning behind the film?

The entire Movie/Entertainment industry is a well financed satanic psychological war operation being executed upon the public right before their eyes.

Just like all the other Illuminati controlled industry, the Movie/Entertainment industry is a tool designed to advance their agenda of a "New World Order" and the deceptions that come along with it.

In the satanic Illuminati occult dogma, the term "AVATAR" represents their coming Anti-christ, and is the Illuminati occult representation of Satan incarnate.

The Illuminati believe that through science they will be able to genetically produce a "Body" or "Host" that can then be possessed by the actual spirit of Lucifer/Satan.

This "host" that the spirit of Satan will inhabit is called the "AVATAR"

James Cameron has actually named his entire film project based around the satanic doctrines of demonic possession and modern DNA manipulation, in which the Illuminati seek to bring about the "New Age humanoid", or demonically possessed biological human entity.

Fear

Mr. Gilsdorf

Wasn't your last post an example of Avatar-bashing?

"The fear about Avatar is, in the end, I think unfounded,
but it's understandable. It stems from this perennial worry
that any pop culture phenomenon could overhwlem our senses,
our good judgement, and cause some careful balance in the
universe to veer wildly one way or the other."

Really? There's a whole bunch of people out there who are
afraid of Avatar? Just because someone writes of a critical
review of Avatar does not mean that they are afraid of this
movie. Just as I am sure, that though you found Avatar cynical,
you weren't actually afraid of it. Were you?

"But remember: we've seen these alarmist concerns before.
The minute something new hits these shores --- the telephone,
comic books, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, the Internet, video
games, drugs, heavy metal music --- we get all worried about
brains being rotted and souls being seduced by Satan and the
end of civilization as we know it."

Again, just because someone points out the downsides to:
"the Internet, video games, drugs" does not mean that
"we get all worried about brains being rotted and souls
being seduced by Satan and the end of civilization as we
know it".

There are always going to be extremists out there who
believe that we are literally very close to the apocalypse
and that Satan literally is out there seducing souls.
Luckily for us, that is a pretty small minority.

boooo! avatar and not because i think jesus is upset!

i really thought that movie sucked. i was seriously disappointed when i walked out of the theater. and all this "the biggest movie of all time" stuff is kinda BS too. if you adjust movies for inflation, its like number 25 or something. which kinda says more about inflation than it being a good movie if you ask me. gone with the wind? number one. and that was in 1939 in like 40 screens versus avatars 600 and no dvd/3-d sales!
lol the funny thing about the movie was that the whole thing was, "it's wrong to take things from these peaceful people." these peaceful people who are warriors and take anything from their planet like their flying horses or food whenever they want it. as in all things, it just depends who is doing the taking from whom. that's how humans are! thats how the world works! for one thing to live, another must die...it's not bad!
