I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

Patrick Hosmer deconstructs the Avatar preview. Great stuff:

  1. Harley Davidson is still a company that makes motorcycles or at the very least t-shirts. If it’s vintage, it must’ve cost like 6,000 Space Bucks. Speaking of vintage, nice manual wheel chair in the future. Clearly our hero is a technophobe. Look at his hair. That’s classic Act 1 Technophobe Hair.
  2. Co-ed Military! In the same vein as Starship Troopers and Battlestar and AliensAvatar will have Privates with all kinds of privates.
  3. Soccer is still a sport in the fyootch. This means there is still some kind of living international community back on Earth. I bet it’s Future Soccer with wacky sci-fi helmets and all kinds of animated Tostitos graphics on the field. Like football in 2009.
  4. The Douche Dragon Shirt is also still around. Come on, Cameron. Oh wait. Maybe it’s foreshadowing. Remember that guy.
  5. Girls Only.
