I wish to apologise.

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2009)

I apologise to each and every one of you 'Avatards', as the haters call you...us.
I was one of those haters. You may even say, a bit of a "troll" about it, depending on what you define as a troll.
I know there are plenty of people on the boards that have run into me before, and we've been nasty at each other.
I was a real Nazi of a hater, more so than most haters. I was a hated, hating hater of a hater. You know what I'm saying? But tonight motion pictures just changed.
It opened up my eyes, the kind of stuff only the original King Kong, The Wizard of Oz, and The Creature From The Black Lagoon have done to people and motion pictures in general before. Just four or five of them are the equivalents, but we had none of them this century.
Now we do.
I was crying the whole way home - and I don't cry easily. I'm quite a bit of a "tough sonofabitch", if you will.
But I kept having flashes, of the first motion picture being made, the first movie camera being manufactured...a little stroll in the garden life as we know it...some funny Frenchman taking people to the moon...Merian C. Cooper dreaming of "KONG"... Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tinman and the Cowardly Lion arm in arm skipping across the yellow brick road singing to the Emerald City...people in line to see a little film about a fish-man and the lagoon he calls home, raising their eyebrows at these funny little red and blue glasses they were being told to put on...Tobe Hooper as a little boy, first seeing his daddy using a chainsaw...John Carpenter unleashing The Shape to change America's impression of the seemingly happy little holiday called 'Halloween'...Spielberg bringing dinosaurs back from extinction...
And it hit me like lightning: Motion pictures could easily be every answer to any question asked throughout all time. It could be such technology rooted off movies in general, Avatar's 3D being it's major fuel, to make the blind see...to get two screens, like glasses, and have them surgically inserted behind the eyes, to replace the eyes. And such and such.
One gripe: We only just got an LCD TV, now that's just not good enough.
I WANT A 3D TV! Hehe!
