While I agree that the captioning for James Cameron’s new flick “Avatar” could have settled for something more awesome than Papyrus as its font (especially considering they shelled out the money for a linguist to create a totally new language and a new camera just to film the damn thing), Keith Hopper rightly points out that there are way, way worse things it could have been.

He is right.
