Uggggggggggggggggghhhhh…

I didn’t want to believe it could happen … and now it happened … and now I am sad.

The giant blue Na’vi lovers have outdone Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Titantic’s historic benchmark fell early Monday, and the 3-D Avatar is Hollywood’s new champion. James Cameron’s latest film overtook its predecessor’s record of $1.242 billion with a total of $1.292 billion worldwide through Sunday. It was the sixth consecutive weekend thatAvatar grossed more than $100 million on the foreign circuit. Key locations included France, Germany, the U.K., South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Spain.Avatar is now the biggest-grossing film of all time in China, Spain, Russia, Hong Kong, and Chile. If you take inflation into account, however, then Gone with the Wind (which grossed at least $6 billion in today’s dollars) is still Hollywood’s king. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Now, I have made it no secret that I didn’t particularly enjoy Avatar. Sure, it was pretty, but, really, nothing more than pretty. (If you removed all dialog from this film, you would have the exact same movie - and if that doesn’t say anything about it’s weak cliche-filled plot, then what does?) At least Titanic had a story - not a story I ever needed to see more than once, mind you, but a story none-the-less. Avatar, you and you 3-Dness can go straight to film hell.

In fact, I’m so annoyed by this, here are Alex’s Top 10 List of Blue Things Better than Avatar:

1. Captain Planet - The power? Why, it’s yours!
2. The Ocean - It’s like a gigantic aquarium.
3. The Sky - It’s like The Ocean, but in reverse.
4. The Smurfs - One chick, 800 dudes - I don’t like their odds for survival.
5. The iTunes Logo - Yay for music that I promise is not stolen illegally… Super promise.
6. Bloo from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends - Someone’s imagery friend was the color Blue. That’s one seriously messed up child.
7. Emotions - Like how I felt when I read this article. Saaaaaaaad.
8. Jeans - Not genes. Blue genes, come on now, that’s just weird…you’re weird.
9. …

Ok, I can’t think of anymore. That’s how depressed this thing has made me. ARE YOU HAPPY JIM? ARE YOU!

I’m not happy.
