"James Cameron is an idiot"

Holy attention-seeking headline! Those aren't our words, of course, rather the rantings of journactivist Ann McElhinney, as she takes Cameron to task over his mega-blockbuster Avatar. Why? Fucked if I know.
Just watch:
The crux of her argument seems to be that Avatar is a poorly-disguised allegory for global warming, and it's polluting the minds of children in states where they might buy her DVD. Wrong: it's about giant blue space-kittys on another planet, living in harmony with nature and beasts until whitey turns up and...oh my God it's like a million metaphors at once! We were the bad guys all along! Oh the shame, the shame of it all *throws Slazenger Sport in bin, switches to roll-on*
Enviromental issues, propaganda, politics, whatever. The dude made The Abyss and Aliens. Aliens! That's a free pass to make movies about whatever the heck he wants in my book, and I'll happily lap it up.
