LOL, maybe it hadn't had time to queue up in the search function yet. Anyway, I suspect I'll be concurring with a robust recommendation...

ETA: I see now that a pic of the movie poster was posted but the name was never mentioned in any of the subsequent posts, thus its eluding the search function. That'll larn me to read the dang thread before making assumptions...

I'm guilty of scorning Avatar, even though I've never seen it (them?). Nothing against Cameron, I rever T2 and also thought Titanic was aight. I was talking to a cinematically like-minded friend about Pan's Labyrinth, I said it had always given me an Avatar vibe (that's the scorn), he said oh no, not at all, and of course he was right. But he knew what I meant when I said I'd stayed away b/c I thought it had Avatar vibes. Now I feel like a racist against digitized blue oingo boingo Star Wars muppet puppets that I'm supposed to be agog over but never was...

I have very fond memories of on the old board pulling Lurid's tail (was it Lurid?, I think he was the movie buff, right?), by explaining to him that I didn't need to see Avatar becuse I saw it the first time when it was called Dances with Wolves. That didn't go down well with him. He went on to say how the great thing about Avatar was it was an epic SciFi battle pitting primatives against superior technological forces. "Oh, you mean like Flash Gordon? Dive my brave Hawkmen, Dive!"

Ah, good times.
 
I'm hoping you guys can help me out - I saw a trailer for a movie a few weeks back at the Alamo and it looked weird and quirky and I think maybe it's from Australia but I have no idea what the movie is called - for some reason I thought the director was Australian singer Julia Jacklin but I have confirmed that is not the case but maybe a similar name
 
I just watched Warfare. Bare bones, real time(ish) movie of a Navy Seal team under siege in Iraq. Pretty intense, kind of reminded me of watching The Hurt Locker (much, much noisier though).
