Favorite Series is Star Wars.
Oooh Max Butcher...Max....oh Maxy...

On a less gay-sounding note, my favorite animated movie is How to Train your Dragon, by DreamWorks.

OK....well.....I feel obliged to rant whenever someone expects me to....so here goes!
I compare my hatred of 'Avatar' to hatred of an overplayed song - if you like the song, great, because its playing all the time. But if you dont like it, your going to get more furious every single time it plays....and its going to play a lot!
In a nutshell, I think 'Avatar' is incredibly overrated. Thats just my opinion, but aside from the CGI - which to be honest isn't really that spectacular considering its just what everyone else does (sitting at a computer) but with more people, a bigger budget, and more time; compared to such movies as '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'Brazil', 'Ben Hur', the original Star Wars Trilogy, and 'The Ten Commandments' where its all physical (apart from some matte-paintings, which even then is far more impressive than a green-screen) - the movie itself is nothing deeper or advanced than your typical Hollywood shlop produced for a quick few bucks...only it earned a tiny bit more than that. And that's why I hate it, because I dont think its anywhere near as challenging, complex, and ground-breaking as everyone claims it is. In my opinion, its actually a step backwards.
But this is all just my opinion. Heck, you can argue that 'Citizen Kane' is overrated, and that whilst it was ground-breaking in its time, it is now primitive compared to the previously mentioned movies. And, I recommend everyone watch all the mentioned movies - which many people need to do. I hate to be a grumpy git who slags off everyone's decisions, instead claiming arty-farty highbrow stuff to be the superior material (although I DO have my guilty pleasures), but you will come off better from watching them.
Blame Living LEGO, he started it!
