Avatar, Monster Hunter, Not Much Else -- Weekly Roundup 4/19
Monster Hunter Tri is about the only noteworthy game release this week, which should tell you something. I only put Sherlock Holmes up there so Monster Hunter wouldn't get lonely. The big thing coming out this week is clearly the DVD/Blu-ray version of Avatar. Without those distracting 3D effects, you'll have no excuse not to realize that the movie is seriously one of the dumbest things ever. Also, some comics are coming out, including issue 25 of Elephantmen. That's why I was careful to say Avatar was one of the dumbest things ever.
