A complete list of sources Avatar's accused of ripping off. Always nice to see folks taking time out of their busy day to remember Andre Norton. Otherwise, this is a big whatever to me. Can you really call it 'ripping off' when the basic storyline is as old as Odysseus? You don't hear about Homer getting his panties all in a bunch over O Brother, Where Art Thou, do you? Now, get off Cameron's back. He was just trying to entertain you, for corn's sake. If Hurt Locker doesn't win the Oscar, it's not his fault.
Your kids will learn so much about the big blue people in their neighborhood when they read this easy-reading book about the police.

My favorite Lost T
Putting the tooth fairy on noticeTime traveler's kit - Definitely need to make some as gifts. Yes, I know many people so weird, time travel is the only plausible explanation for their eccentricities. And I will wrap each kit in the sock that the recipient is destined to lose in the dryer in the year 2017.
Catching up with you. Mr. Bean as the Avatar~! Ha ha!

"Pat Bean-atar": good god, I wish i'd thought up that one...
Did Neil Blomkamp (District 9: GREAT movie) rip off A-Tar or did Jimbo rip him and Producer Peter Jackson off at lunch in Johannesberg back in 200_? The two stories are almost identical (inconsequential white guy finds the true meaning of his humanity while living inside an alien civilization). It could go either way...
Also, having watched all of LOTR as weekend therpay while OTHER therapy goes on, I was struck by the thought: wouldn't Sauron have done MUCH BETTER if he had, instead of investing in creepy buildings, flying lizards and cheap orc labor, spent money of PROFESSIONAL MILITARY TRAINING for his troops, who seem undisciplined, clueless and always ready to panic when faced with either mounted cavalry or Undead armies. A handful of former East German commandos calling the shots at Baradur and they'd all be speaking Nazgul in Middle Earth!
