About six weeks ago, Brian asked me if I saw “Avatar”. I told him that I hadn’t, but would catch it on DVD. He indicated that with the sound and special effects, it would be best to see it in a theater while it was still out. A scan of movie listings showed that it was still out in several theaters.A couple of weeks later, the studio announced that the movie would be released on DVD in mid-April, but it would not contain the 3-D version. So we added that criteria to our search.
Conflicting schedules prevented us from meeting, but we finally saw it today. Brian picked me up at SBCC and we headed over to the Bridge Cinemas at the Howard Hughes Center. After getting our tickets and 3-D glasses, and a mandatory bag of popcorn (I always have to have movie theater popcorn), we found our seats in Auditorium 8.
The movie was good and I enjoyed the 3-D effects. I’m glad that we were able to see it.
A couple of things from the movie. I saw the substance “unobtainium” in another movie. “The Core” (2003) with Aaron Eckhart. And Grace’s line “Don’t shoot. You’ll only make it angry.” I heard that line spoken in “Blazing Saddles” (1974) with Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder.
After the movie, we stopped at Quizno’s in Gardena and we each had the Raspberry Chipotle Chicken salad. Mmmm. They were good.
