Watching Leno (VERY rare occurance): Bill Paxton (I think) is talking about Avatar and how, because of the movie, he MADE bows for him and his daughter. His daughter was saying she wants to shoot an animal. He said, well you’ve gotta eat it, so we’ll proabably be eating squirrel soon (loose paraphrase). So, there’s an example of Avatar sparking an interest in longbows.
On the downside 😯 (from the WeeklyStandard.com):
“James Cameron, the director of mega-blockbuster Avatar, isn’t worried that some people may not like the film’s political message.
In a print-only interview in the current Entertainment Weekly, reporter Benjamin Svetkey tells Cameron that somebody has called Avatar the “perfect ecoterrorism recruiting tool.” Here’s Cameron’s response in its entirety:
“Good, good, I like that one. I consider that a positive review. I believe in ecoterrorism.”
Maybe Cameron doesn’t know what ecoterrorism is?
If he does, then the world’s biggest director just endorsed a form of left-wing political violence. And no one bats an eye.
Ah, Hollywood.”
