Hey guys, another great show. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but this is important. Bryan, you are totally right about the end of the Avatar movie. Norm AND his Avatar are both in the line. Impossible! You win the monkey prize. Congrats.
Sweet!! Thanks for the confirmation Doug! Speaking of Avatar, I thought this was pretty awesome: http://failblog.org/2010/01/10/avatar-plot-fail/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+failblog+%28The+FAIL+Blog+-+Fail+Pictures+%26+Videos+at+Failblog.ORG%29&utm_content=Google+Reader
Hey guys, great show. I wanted to point out something about avatar. In the beginning and at the end of the movies there are about 10 avatars, where do they go during the rest of the movie? I didn’t look to see that it was jake’s avatar at the end I just thought it was one of the avatars that’s only in the very beginning of the movie. Not to say it wasn’t FunnyDoug says it was and he’s probably right. I don’t expect you to have an answer, I’m just pointing out that these other avatars just sort of fade into the background and then come back at the very end. Why weren’t they helping during the fight.
Good point Carehalf! I just figured that we didn’t see them anymore because the humans had decided that the avatar project was a waste of time and pretty much shut them down (at least while the fight was going on). On a separate note, are you still playing Halo?
