Is not doing it yourself.
I subscribed to the Savage Chickens web comics.
Today, I came across the Inception comic. I had no idea what it was about, so searching for it, I came to the Inception page on imdb. The trailer is impressive. The fact that the movie is already at position #3 in IMDB's top 250 is quite a feat. Factori in the fact that I also want to understand the comic and you'll reach the conclusion that I will see this movie as soon as it's available.

Independent Online Cinema
I'm amazed about the things some people can do out of passion. Independent Online Cinema is an example of people which are obviously passionate about movie making. Their independent film "The Hunt for Gollum" is intended to be a 35 minutes prequel to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
As you may imagine, there is a significant budget difference between the original Lord of the Rings trilogy and this fan-made motion picture, which one can notice in the image quality and special effects. But it looks quite good, the acting is decent and the fight scenes are not that exaggerated. The only reason you can't compare it on equal grounds with one of the recent Lord of the Rings incarnations is that Peter Jackson's movies had budgets of around 93 mil.$ each. And the next one (The Hobbit) is expected to use 300 million $ for a two part official prequel. The independent film had... passionate fans.

Avatar
I am happy to announce that I went to see Avatar and it wasn't just hype.
A good story, superb special effects in an IMAX experience and a great attention to detail make this film one of the great ones. This may be the "Star Wars" of the decade, something people will remember for around... 5 years. But I still hope there won't be any sequels, since they will just hurt the story.
The story is a nice blend of good ideas. It lacks somewhat in originality, as one can easily find resemblance to various movies and games, such as "Dances With Wolves", "The Matrix" , "The Lord of the Rings", "Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri", which probably borrowed ideas from other less known works of art. But the mix is well put together.
If you got the chance to see it at an IMAX, go for it. You won't see another movie like this one this year.
P.S. I also saw "Paranormal Activity", which is just crap. You know the scares that the trailer/teaser has? Well those are all the scares in the movie. I don't know what some people find so scary about it.
