Can one visualize epic?

I thought we saw the end of it with Pirates of the Carribbean or Lord of the Rings. That it would take years for Hollywood to finally outdo themselves. Too many times have I driven by the cinemas, only to be dissappointed at the sight of lackluster movies and cheap remakes. Nearly ten years it was, before I finally sat down again and felt my head crack as my mind exploded. A new precedent has been made. if ever there were an idyllic epic, this is it. And an epic 17 years certainly makes.

I will ruin no surprises. But the classic story line of Avatar, was nigh unto predictable and frankly, I couldn't care less. The views and the scenery. The high voltage actions and mindnumbing adrenaline rush. It was graceful, poetic, and righteous. Clean and beautiful of a flick this was. Notice how in todays society, as far as PG-13 movies go, they now can get away with at least two to even three of the harsher of the curses we commonly hear. James Cameron spat in those crude faces with dignity as his three hours of maddening goodness has nearly nothing to shake a finger at. Sci-fi movies are notorious for their love scenes. Our protagonists kissed once, love was implied, but nothing was shown. Proof, and not just proof, but incredibly heart slamming proof, that love scenes and gore and cussing a good movie does not make. Scratch your heads, my favorite movie producers and directors, fight to the top of the hill for the next five years, because it will take at least that much to come close to the level of wonder and awe this movie has created. I waited two hours for a PREMIER, and already scheduled, before the movie was released showing of New Moon, as is evident in previous posts. I walked right into this theater with plenty of time to spare. This, the unsung hero of modern movie marvels, I raise my glass to, and declare to my sparse readers and random blogosphere surfers that happen across this meager helping, YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE.

Dramaticism

Interesting thing to note, living in a mountain valley. Everything has a dramatic mountain backdrop. At least the Eastern Mountains do that. The western ones are a little lack luster, but it's funny to sit in a parking lot, just before you get out your car, you glance over at the walmart you're fixing to go into, and there's a snow covered mountain looming over the top of it. Almost as if to say, that's not Walmart, that's Walmart. Like I'm about to get my buckler and shortsword and go on a quest. Anywhere else, chuckie cheese's is just that, but here, it's Chuckie Cheese's. Thus, mountains make everything cool.
