Without giving away too much of the plot, the bad guys in the movie are the United States Marines.

I don't actually remember any country being named. I just remember them being called "Marine." And they weren't active Marines, but mercenaries.

If anything, it was a shot at Blackwater.

No, they were ex-marines working as corporate mercenaries.

Hello. I write a regular column on the website, Breitbart.com. My regular column on Breitbart.com is where I regularly post my thoughts and opinions on different matters that I believe are important in the world. These thoughts and opinions can then be read by you, my regular reader, so that you can know what my thoughts and opinions are. This is why I write my thoughts and opinions in a regular column.

I recently had a new opinion, and that is what I would like to write about now in my column. My opinion comes from the recently foiled terrorist attack by that Nigerian guy with the complicated name. Ayumballah or something, it's Nigerian and I don't speak Nigerian so I'm not going to waste time on looking it up. But he had a crotch bomb and nearly blew up the airplane and this is something we should be concerned about. The fact that he could get through security means that we have not gone far enough to protect ourselves. If we don't protect ourselves, we will be unprotected.

I am also worried that the price of mayonnaise has gone up. I don't understand why it would have gone up, but it was about 10 cents more expensive for the little jar at the store than it was a few weeks ago. I don't understand why the price of mayonnaise would go up, and I'm worried that the Wegmans where I shop might just be arbitrarily raising the price. Just to check on this, I went to Giant food and the price was lower, so I think I've proven that Wegman's is charging too much for mayonnaise. Shopper's, too.

I would like to ask my regular readers to join me in boycotting Wegmans until they bring down the price of mayonnaise to a more reasonable level. It's like the famous patriot Thomas Paine said: fingers alone can be broken, but together they make a fist. We can join together and be the fist that brings back affordable mayonnaise.

Thank you for reading my column. I will see you when I have my next opinion, which I hope will be soon.

A little too obvious, this time, Pocket. Still, good effort.

Lighten up, Francis.

Do people really think that soldiers are that frickin sensitive? Who the fark cares - it's a farking movie.

I have opinions and I'd be willing to share them for money. How do I find out if I am dumb enough to qualify for job at breitbart?

Pocket Ninja nailed that dude perfectly. It reads like it was written by an 8th grader trying to get another 300 words into his essay.

Frank DeMartini (Producer) began his entertainment career 20 years ago as an entertainment attorney. Soon he became a specialist in representing not only the above-the-line elements but also all aspects of motion picture and TV production from development through financing and distribution. His film credits include producer on the independent feature "Motel Blue" (1997) starring Sean Young and Robert Vaughn, "Crocodile" (2001) directed by horror icon Tobe Hooper, "Mozart and the Whale" (2006) starring Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell, and "Journey to the End of the Night" (2007) starring Brendan Fraser and Mos Def. His most recent film, "Mad Money" (2008) starring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Ted Danson, and Katie Holmes opened on 2500 screens in January 2008 and was directed by Academy Award winner Callie Khouri. He has just completed production on an M.O.W. for the ABC Family Channel entitled, "The Prince and Me 4: The Elephant Adventure." The film is scheduled to be complete in September 2009.

Has anybody here ever heard, let alone seen, any of this tool's movies?

I respectfully disagree. These were not marines, they were mercenaries, some former marines. This was about corporate greed and to a degree imperialism.

Cameron owes no apology to the US Marines. The nationality of the characters was never mentioned. The hero of the film (Jake Sully) was a former marine with a good heart and conscience.

The morality of the "grunt" is not in question in Avatar. The overarching mission is in question. This does indeed apply to current conflicts in the real world. Food for thought.

Here's your Hollywood agenda!

The story has been told many times in a lot of movies. Why is this idiot getting sensitive now? The special effects deserved a much better story.

As much as I bag on Avatar for being a shiatty movie with a $500 million wrapper, Breitbart needs to STFU. Why does every movie have to reaffirm your patriotism? Why is it necessary to critique every film from the perspective of "how does this reflect on my neoconservative retardation?" It's as bad as those religious wackos who see every film as either praising Jesus or working silently with the Devil to bring down Christianity and turn your children into godless, coked-up orgy-dolls.

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, there. Don't go around expecting idiots on brietbart (or others of their ilk) to actually understand something before spouting off an opinion of it. What are you? Some kind of liberal queer?

STFU. It's a movie. Get the hell over it and quit trying to push your political agenda.

/Military.
//Can still enjoy a story.

Isn't it also set in the (shocker: dystopian) future? BFD. I'm a veteran, and save for yellow documentaries and those that purport to be such, I'm not likely to take umbrage over movie depictions of military action. Double that for military action, centuries in the future, in space.

I would like to hear the opinion of our resident Marine Core Soldier or perhaps the opinion of his wife.

Mentat: No, they were ex-marines working as corporate mercenaries.

This. It is specifically mentioned that they are ex-marines working gas mercenaries now. For this exact reason actually. You can tell they crammed some lame dialogue in to get that point across.

Hyppy: STFU. It's a movie. Get the hell over it and quit trying to push your political agenda.

Yeah... please tell me that this writer was this incensed about "Crimson Tide."

I dislike Avatar and even I find this guy to be absolutely full of bullshiat.

Also they were not Marines, but corporate mercenaries.

"James Cameron Breitbart should apologize to the American Military Public and should make a statement that he does not truly feel this way about them act so retardedly oversensitive about everything in pop culture in real life"

Fixed that for Breitbart

Coked-up orgy-dolls were all I wanted for Christmas and I didn't get them.

I never got the sense that these guys were mercenaries, but whatever... I think all people should be suseptable to criticism, including the military.

LouDobbsAwaaaay: working silently with the Devil to bring down Christianity and turn your children into godless, coked-up orgy-dolls.

Two, please.

Who gives a shiat what that guy thinks... He writes like an asshole and his opinion is ill conceived and full of a preconceived bias that he would read into anything he saw. This just happens to be what he saw and having this kind of opinion gets him clicks. I hate giving clicks to people like that.

Lampmonster: I would like to hear the opinion of our resident Marine Core Soldier or perhaps the opinion of his wife.

Seconded.

Did James Cameron imply that they all won multiple Congressional Medals of Honer?

Lampmonster: I would like to hear the opinion of our resident Marine Core Soldier or perhaps the opinion of his wife.

I hear he is busy with his SEALS BUDs team. Cause like they cross train and sh*t.

Who keeps greening all this Breitbart wharrgarbl? Enough already. I'm going to start submitting CapAlert reviews every day if this keeps up.

And then that twat goes on about hotels violating the Freedom of Speech because they don't use Merry Christmas in their emails?

This guy is a farking attorney and he doesn't know that the First Amendment is only applicable to the government, and not private companies?

Damn, Gina.

The bigger irony here is that Andrew Breitbart actually thinks that he is one of the "cool kids" in the media (Link):

"Meanwhile, we have the cool kids on our side: Dennis Miller, Greg Gutfeld, Andrew Breitbart and yes, even Glenn Beck. And our cool kids are pointing out just how boring, lame, predictable and lazy the other side has become."

Blowmonkey: Who gives a shiat what that guy thinks... He writes like an asshole and his opinion is ill conceived and full of a preconceived bias that he would read into anything he saw.

Would you say he talks like a fag and his shiat's all retarded? I might.

/hates giving clicks to these assholes, too.

When Will White People Stop Greenlighting Breitbart Articles?

This guy is acting like this is the first time a movie has done this sort of thing. I'm sure that the soldiers don't rightly care.

FTA: "Eventually, the military solution is the final solution."

Godwined in 3 moves!

Also, I like how he later says that he has many Jewish friends. I doubt he meant it like he did, but it's still humorous to me.

Pocket Ninja: I would like to ask my regular readers to join me in boycotting Wegmans until they bring down the price of mayonnaise to a more reasonable level.

Thank you for reading my column. I will see you when I have my next opinion, which I hope will be soon.


Bravissimo!

Wombatzu: When Will White People Stop Greenlighting Breitbart Articles?

Ironically, that would've made a fantastic headline.

I haven't seen the movie.

But I strongly suspect even if this guy's right, Major General Smedley Butler would like a word with him. (pops)

It's just a movie, get over it.

Are any of them really "cool"? Nobody has ever heard of Breitbart or Gutfield, Miller hasn't been relevant since he got run out of Monday Night Football, and Beck is the laughing stock of the entire world.

LouDobbsAwaaaay: Why does every movie thing in the entire freakin universe have to reaffirm your patriotism?

ftfy

Lampmonster: I would like to hear the opinion of our resident Marine Core Soldier or perhaps the opinion of his wife.

The soldier would chime in, but he's too busy pistol-whipping iraqi civilians and shooting dogs for fun.

the stupid, it hurts.

Yea, just get in line behind Joe Heller over there...

I love the way he tacked on some shiat about free-speech at the end. I used to go to Catholic school, and really grew accustomed to the cafeteria's crumbly chocolate chip cookies.

boycott wegmans?! :(

/cool story bro

Has this guy ever met an actual member of the American military? If anyone is going to like this 3D action-adventure movie where morally ambiguous violence has a happy ending, it's going to be the soldier who saw it between deployments.

Oh, wait, I just Googled "Frank DeMartini." ("Frank DeMartini born February 23, 1962 is a Hollywood film producer[1], entertainment attorney and an active Republican residing in Los Angeles California. ...") I'm sorry, obviously that was a stupid question I asked.

WTF is up with this guy's tangent about saying "Merry Christmas"?

1) as mentioned before, it's not a free speech issue when a private business does it

2) Frank, you *know* which of your friends are Jewish, so you are able to specifically wish them Happy Hanukkah. A clerk at a retail store or a hotel does not have this information, which is why those companies would like to be inviting to *all* people and just say Happy Holidays. Perhaps you would suggest that clerks say "Happy Hanukkah" to all the people with big noses and "Merry Kwanzaa" to all the black shoppers?

Also, the hero of the movie was a marine who became one of the Na'vi because he's a warrior. There's some pro-marine propaganda.
