Prog rock fantasy artist Roger Dean suing James Cameron over Avatar

Seeing as how Avatar was the most cliche piece of garbage ever made I think we all have a shot at suing him

 

[Mr. H.]

People familiar with Dean's art saw the bastardization from the git-go.

As lawsuits go, this one has more merit than 90% of them out there.

 

[Mr. H.]

My kid used to work for Cameron's ex wife.
Of course, that could be any of a half-dozen Hollywood bitches.

 

[TheOldSchool]

If that's not Pandora then I don't know what is...

 

[Mr. H.]

...and I'll bet ya got a nice box to put it in, too.

Arrrrr.....

 

[Mr. H.]

Dean is a very dignified and accomplished artist.
Cameron is a Hollywood hack.

This will be a David/Goliath slug-fest for sure.

I thought Avatar was better the first time it was released as Ferngully.

 

[Mr. H.]

^ LOL I had to google that.

 

[Mr. H.]

If I'm going to spend $8-10 for a flick, then I empty my noggin of all pre-conceived notions and sit back for some entertainment. I was entertained. Hell I've watched it a second time.

Although I did feel a bit dirty.

My joke above notwithstanding, I've never seen Avatar. Never been interested.

Give it a go. And bring some popcorn.
A pint of whiskey might help.

If I need to ingest mind-altering chemicals to make a movie tolerable, how good could it be?

 

[Mr. H.]

Alcohol is natural.

I'm not saying you need to drop some fucking acid.

Oooh I just got an idea there...

 

[Mr. H.]

DISCLAIMER: Just say know too drugs.

Must admit I tripped out at a Yes concert once.

It's one of those rare movies where if you're drunk and just accept it for what it is... it's freaking awesome!

But seriously... sober? I don't think I could do it

 

[Mr. H.]

I'm beginning to think you don't do sober.

 

[TheOldSchool]

I'm beginning to think you don't do sober.

Not tonight no...

People get inspiration from all kinds of sources. So if someone makes a movie over a lady that looks just like Mona Lisa, then what? And how many movies have been made that look like they were straight out of Thomas Kincade's thatch hut houses?

Can't sue someone for getting a lightbulb over their heads after looking at someone else's work. Well, ya can, but it's a slippery slope doing it.
