So far, not much new in this New Year. I kicked off the year seeing Avatar with the family, and the film was better than I anticipated. I'm glad I went in with low expectations, despite everyone else telling me it was the greatest thing ever. I'm not going to write up a big review like I did with Sherlock Holmes, mainly because I saw Holmes the day after it came out and waited awhile before seeing Avatar. Avatar had plenty of silly plot points, it was long and my butt was getting sore near the end, but overall it I enjoyed the spectacle and had a fun experience.
My favorite part was that Mom didn't go blind. This is the packaging from the 3D glasses:
After the show, Mom wanted to keep the glasses. "Mom, you're supposed to throw those in the 3D glasses recycling bin." At first she wanted them for when Avatar comes out in 3D on DVD, or for a souvineer for her scrapbook. We tried to tell Mom that she really didn't need to keep them, and she countered with: "Well, I can just use them as sunglasses!" Entire rest of the family: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
