For the first time* - Kenny Loggins

James Cameron was quoted saying that one of the reasons why Avatar is being re-released again is because when it was first released, many did not have the opportunity to catch it in 3D. That is true. tGiF and i are good examples. We really wanted to but could not get the chance.



We did catch it in 2D, tho. Now here is the strange thing - i watched it in December last year before my surgery, i enjoyed it and loved it. Why was this strange? When i watched it again over last weekend, it was like watching it for the first time!!!!!!

It was pretty scary - i remembered watching it, and yes, i do remember a couple of scenes but only fleetingly. But for most part of the movie - over 90% - i cannot remember it!!!! So there i was, enjoying it afresh, not knowing what is going to happen next. Heck, i din even know certain main characters actually died!!!!

People say that when u start to lose yr memory, it would be the most recent ones that go first - last in first out. So it is no wonder that i cannot remember most of it since it took place so near my surgery. Makes me more thankful and makes me realise again how serious my condition was.

Anyways, if you did not manage to watch it in 3D back then, seize this opportunity! On top of that, i've read that there are many new added scenes which are really good! To me, i could not tell which scenes were the new ones!!!! But here are a couple of pics i found online:-





And if that is not enough to whet yr appetite, here is the trailer:-



How this movie did not win the Oscar for best picture still mystifies me! Sure, it's not the best movie of all time but i feel it was the best movie in 2009.

*Featured on the soundtrack of the movie One Fine Day, it was Kenny's one and only no. 1 hit on the Adult Contemporary chart.
