And to think, just the other day Brooks was making out like a post-colonial discourse analyst (on the cheap), claiming that Avatar peddles an ersatz brand of white paternalism. Something tells me he is one-third abominable, one-third dense, and... one-third an enterprising provocateur. (To the extent that a provocateur can be exceptionally bland in dress, temperament, and prose style. He's a golf course-anchored gated community "bobo" provocateur.)
