Apparently the latest Avatar had a big budget Ubisoft game that did pretty good in reviews, yet I don't think I've seen a single person mention it. I had to go search for it to see if one was actually made.

But anyway, Bald little bender Avatar > Blue Man Group Avatar.

You’ll never guess who’s played that game. Frontiers of Pandora, it was called.

It was lots of fun at times, but frustratingly difficult, to the point I gave up on it two missions before the end. One of those “kill twenty impossible enemies, all of whom can kill you with one shot, also you don’t have ammo and there’s nowhere nearby to replenish your ammo and you can’t leave the combat area” type games.

They did do an update a year after it was released that allowed you to switch between first and third person, which was a godsend because I couldn’t even get past the opening mission on first person mode.

It's basically Far Cry Avatar and it was a blast.

I think the thing that goes unsaid about Avatar is how much it seemed to resonate with women. Men habitually occupy so much discussion space (eh lads haha eh) but even though I accept it's anecdotal, the people I know that really enjoyed those films were my wife and a lot of female friends and colleagues. Of course, they didn't then spend fifteen minutes trying to explain the lore of the Navi to me.

I could never watch an Avatar movie in the cinema, I don't think I could go 3.5hrs without needing a piss

That’s the best part of the Avatar cinema experience. Like having intervals.

The Brave Little Toaster was my favourite film growing up but it came out pre-Disney renaissance, and pre- “objects come to life” Pixar but most the staff from the film unsurprisingly went on to work heavily in both. Despite a cult following it got a limited PAL DVD release in 2003 (the DVD I got last year cost me over £30!) and never got another release in this region.

This gives me an opportunity to post the funniest film review I've ever read:
