Whatever you do, don’t miss the New York Times slideshow. Listen to Cameron’s opening narration and ask yourself if it doesn’t remind you more than just a little bit of this:

And the New York Times has assumed the deranged Dennis Hopper role of taking this Useful Idiot seriously.
The full write up is here but my favorite paragraphs involve Cameron bringing along three bodyguards and an “Avatar” screening that was held for the natives just before the director’s BIG ENTRANCE:
Many of the indigenous leaders he was planning to meet with had never heard of [Cameron] before, much less seen his movie. All they knew was that “a powerful ally” would be attending their gathering, Ms. Soltani said.
So, the night before Mr. Cameron and his wife, Suzy Amis, arrived with three bodyguards, a dozen or so villagers gathered in the house of José Carlos Arara, the chief of the Arara tribe here, to watch a DVD of “Avatar.”
“What happens in the film is what is happening here,” said Chief Arara, 30.
Somehow it gets worse. Cameron appears to truly see himself as his “Avatar” character Jake Sully, The Condescending Liberal Great White Savior:
“It’s not like there is any pressure on me or anything,” he said, half-joking, moments before boarding the boat. “These people really are looking for me to do something about their situation. We have to try to stop this dam. Their whole way of life, their society as they know it, depends on it.”
Does the NY Times once bother to stop gushing over Cameron’s going native to explain the other side of the story; why the Brazilian government wants to build the dam?
It’s the NY Times. What do you think?
And so I leave you with this picture in your head:
All the while, Mr. Cameron danced haltingly, shaking a spear, a chief’s feathery yellow and white headdress atop his head.
Before Cameron and his wife return to…
the environmentally responsible way he tried to live his life: solar and wind energy power his Santa Barbara home, he said, and he and his wife drive hybrid vehicles and do their own organic gardening.
You can’t make this stuff up.
