Re: 142

I just want to see it because I love Avatar, and even if the movie sucks, hey, WE GOT A MOVIE. One in THEATERS.

It's kinda like how I love Heath Ledger, and therefor own Monster's Ball even though I thought the movie was horrible and will probably never watch it again.

Re: 142

Yeah. I'm still not going to buy a ticket because I don't want to monetarily support the casting decisions. But I may still download it out of curiosity if it's going to take itself more seriously.

I'm just tired of being treated like some kind of blasphemer because I expect a show about war, of all things, to treat the subject with a lot more maturity than Avatar ever tried to.

Re: 142

I intend to see it because, though the casting may suck, whether I see it or not will not make the casting go away. I also refuse to fight racism with theivery.

Re: 142

It's the lesser of two evils for me. An already filthy rich Hollywood director losing a couple of lattes' worth on my potential ticket is not quite as bad to me as a tacit endorsement of his casting practices ("I approve and I want to see more whitewashing, and I'm saying so with my wallet"). If there was a way I could legally see the film without paying (like winning free tickets or something), I would.

Re: 142

I don't hate my family enough to risk the massive amounts of debt they would be in if I got caught pirating movies.

And it's not about the director at all. It's simple: Stealing is wrong, and, unlike the crappy casting, there's actually something I can do about it this time.

Re: 142

Eh, if you're worried about getting caught, you're using the wrong viewing channels for one thing. And while stealing is wrong (I did say "two evils"), in this case I don't think it's as wrong as directly supporting and approving of a blatantly racist venture. One is only "hurting" the director's bottom line. The other is contributing to a widespread problem that hurts lots and lots of people every day.

Re: 142

Doesn't matter. You don't fight evil with evil. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind

Re: 142

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if that's such a bad thing. Maybe if the whole world was blind, we'd have less racism in it.

Re: 142

[lililedger.livejournal.com]

That is a good point that has almost nothing to do with the metaphor and current line of discussion.

Re: 142

You do realize that your disapproval is just as tacit unless you're letting people (actual important film people, not random internet folk) know you're a lost customer because of the race!fail, right?

Re: 142

Considering how evident it is that Shyamalan knows about the widespread disapproval but doesn't seem to care a whit, I'm pretty sure the e-mail I sent is going straight to the round file anyway.
