Yes, yes this is rather late. And yes there have already been a million posts about the whole racism malarkey. And in fact yes, I did enjoy this film quite a bit. But as the tag line to the this blog says (or will say depending on when you are reading this) I have found some ridiculous material, dear readers, that's not to be found anywhere else on the whole world wide interweb! (Or at least so I say!)

My contention is, fair enough corporates are bad and evil* and most of the time they get away with what they want, but are you saying to me that in 2150 or whenever there will be no form of government or policy making body at all?! How else can you explain a corporate (no matter how big it is) spending 10 billion gazillion trillion (official figure based on current expected inflation) creating an army big enough to conquer the Sun and more! And all to get 'unobtanium' (seriously JC?!!) from under the feet of the peaceful Na'vi people?! You can just see this flashing on the news ticker of the future 'Big spending RDA corp splashes out 600 trillion on 5th battalion of its own mega-awesome army. President says "may the force be with you" ' ?! Oh and who is in-charge of such a force - none other than the stable and entirely rational COLONEL MILES QUARITCH!! I mean just one look at his war-scarred, hate-chiseled face would have had alarm bells banging in any half-baked decision making body right?!

Sure there's talk of the Big 50 corporate moghuls ruling the world and all that but a profit hungry business with that large an army?! Watch out future people, you're basically screwed!

* Need I remind you that this movie is made by Fox Films, a corporate movie making behemoth?!
