Space Neighborhood


In a way, I find this an amazingly realistic view of what a human-settled space station might be like someday. Not the specifics, but the fact that we'll bring our fashions and fads with us. 1975 in space looked a lot like 1975 in America, didn't it?

This reminds me... have you seen Avatar? Did you like?

I didn't see it. I don't go out to movies very often. I hear I should, though.

It's on DVD now... and it really is something. I feel like I drank the kool aid when I say that, but it's just gorgeous.

There are some holes in it as far as I'm concerned... or at least somethings I think they didn't explain well, but that's the nature of the beast.

I have to suspect that, on DVD, the beauty will be diminished and the plot holes somewhat more obvious. But I do plan to see it.

I don't know if I want to go to this place, but I like it as a tiny town. I wish I could touch it.

It would be a cool model.

They're re-releasing it in theaters this summer if you want to check out the incredible beauty of 3D Avatar. I suggest that you do.

It's really just absolutely gorgeous, but is Pocahontas. Pretty much. Still, I want to go to Pandora (the world they live in).

Oh and as for the picture, it looks like Italy in the 60s... IN SPACE.

Good to know. I meant to check it out while it was in the theaters, so I guess I get another chance.

And yes it does. I wonder what the space ladies look like.

Looks to me like the Rainbow Road in Mariokart - without the houses of course.

Love it!

I've never played Mariokart, but I see what you mean.
