Draft -- "Oh Avatar"
Rich Brown
There are mild spoilers beyond -- but COME ON, do you expect to be
watching this film for the PLOT?
This is a draft, but unlike some people, I didn't have 12 years to work
on it :-) And the tune is "O Holy Night" so people won't be interested
after the 25th.
The original English lyrics (John Sullivan Dwight, 1855) had lots of
exclamation points, so I followed in that spirit.
I welcome suggestions.
Oh, Avatar
Oh, Avatar! The latest flick from Cameron,
It is a film that you must go to see.
I hear it cost more than a quarter billion
But not one dime of that flowed down to me.
Each frame has lighting worthy of this Epic,
Each sound you hear's recorded perfectly.
Shot in 3-D! With digital projection!
IMAX 3-D! (Don't wait on DVD)
IMAX, IMAX! I wax poeticly!
Pandora floats in space in all her splendor
But just you wait 'til you see her below.
There are new life forms in every scene they rendered.
Each one infused with phosphorescent glow.
The Na'vi love each form of life around them;
They see their world in perfect harmony
Fly through the trees! The beauty will astound you
It's biology! (Each genus, each species)
Biol-ogy! It's all ecology!
Too bad the dialog is kind of boring
But I don't care; I went to see FX
To see and hear and _feel_ explosions roaring
With just a hint of some unearthly sex...
Then Good fights Evil in dramatic battle
And all the major actors are in the
Climactic scene! (I won't say how it turns out...)
Go NOW and see (it on a giant screen)
Go see, go see! Hurry, go out and see!

Let me know if and when you think it's polished enough for publication.
