We all know that I'm only aware of it because I'm so terribly guilty of it (and trying to change my ways lest I be taken to Lady Patience's chamber!).
Speaking of movies, what did you all think of 'Avatar'? I thought the Na'vi were modeled far too much on the Native American people (speech and dialogue, use of bows, relationships with horses and nature, war-paint, war-cries etc) and I just couldn't get past that aspect, no matter how wonderful the effects and cutting-edge cinematography etc.
For me it was like a really bad modern remake of an old western with the cowboys just having been replaced by the military...even if I could have swallowed the rest of what was offered , the line, "We'll fight terror with terror" did it for me...fair dinkum!
ps I should mention here that I was glad to see * Avatar spoiler *
