Were you trying to see it on IMAX? Just go see it on regular 3D theatre. The first two times I tried to go to the late showing at the IMAX but was turned away both times, so the third time I just went and saw it on a regular-sized screen, the size that the director shot it for anyone — he didn’t shoot the movie on IMAX film so it is probably better to see it on the smaller screen. I think it is the best movie-going experience I’ve had, if not the best movie I’ve ever seen. Don’t go to the Burrard theatre, it is too busy and too many rowdy downtown people! Go to Silvercity in Riverport late show and the theatre will be mostly empty for Avatar if you go during the week. I hate packed movie theatres! And remember, go pee a couple times right BEFORE the movie begins as it is a long, exciting movie and you won’t be able to hold it otherwise!

This is the correct speed, perhaps the other versions you have heard were slower. Normally I play this song much faster as not to get bored!

I wanted to watch Avatar on Sunday, but unfortunately all tickets sold out when I got there ( the movie theatre on Burrat, Scotia Bank).

Great performance! It is a bit fast but I still love it.

Well I’m a big guy so walking up the hills pulling my golf cart for 4 and a half hours is great exercise. I always sweat when I golf. It is time-consuming, but you get to enjoy the day too and not be rushed; too many people rush about acting busy, but the truth is golf will balance out the hectic life most people have. I’m always battling rush hour traffic and golf helps calm me down, it is almost zen-like. I also would argue that golf is the best exercise as you have to do it for 4.5 hours to play a game! Most people go to the gym for an hour or ride the exercise bike for 30 minutes; when you get a game of golf in you have expended more calories — and if you hadn’t eaten beforehand, expended more fat — then if you went to the gym for two hours!

Yes, I will play golf more when I am over 60. But it is not a good sport if you want to get exercises from it when you are under 50 years old. I never sweat while playing golf and it is very time consuming.

I wanted to get Canada Place, the new convention centre etc in the picture.
Fur Elise is the most familiar classical song and very few can play it well. She can play it but she’s past that level now.

Canada Place looks better at night… but far away, too small in the picture.
The boy seems very happy playing piano, you must be a good teacher, haha.
The girl plays well, can she play ‘Fur Elise’ (Beethoven) which is my favourite ?

Allergy? So early, probably your body is weak because of not having enough sleep.
