As Christians, we need to walk the walk. This ad isn't walking.

Ah ha! Mastodon doesn't put a preview image of the link. Twitter does (and so does iMessage) that makes tweets look more interesting.
But in general, when deciding where to see Avatar, you want the biggest, brightest, most souped-up experience there is—well, maybe not the vibrating seats, but everything else.
