Avatar = Dance with Wolves + Terminator + Titanic

The main plot is similar to Kevin Costner's Dance with Wolves. Indian didn't win but Navi makes it.

Like Terminator, Avatar sets new high standards for special effects, in particular, CG.

And last but not the least, it's a movie for lovers. Personally, I prefer to Dance with Wolves. It's a movie I can watch for many times, alone. But if with my lover, Avatar is the definite choice. The question is: Can Avatar refresh the Titanic record?

versatile. show a little brick on the brim. pleasant and profound on the nose. very balanced layers of acidity, pepper, wood, vanilla and chocolate. sweet tannin. with plenty of presentation of the elegance of a CDF wine.

接待任务繁重，虽然累点，但有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？

Dubai crisis - No panic

I am reading Stephen Roach's Next New Asia. Given the recent Dubai crisis, I pay particular attention to what he described about Dubai phenomenon. Not surprisingly, he is relatively reserved, only said it's either a bubble or an emblematic.

This evokes my thought on the Elliot wave theory. Usually, a consolidation is needed before a major bull market. It's the case for Internet, for new energy, and now, for New Middle East?

I can't make the call. If time is only related to people's confirmation, it is probably fine. But can Dubai really complete the transformation, whose magnitude is never seen any analog before?
