James Cameron's AVATAR discussion thread

[BadMoon]

Does anyone have any teaser posters laying around they want to sell? No re-prints please. Thanks!

How can you tell the difference? Do you mean the double sided posters?

But scifi fans love this movie, am i right and the dark knight is still popular from what i seen.

Yeah the double sided 27 X 40. You can usually tell from the size. Most reprints are a bit smaller. Also some posters like the "Why so Serious" Dark Knight poster have little things to look for as there are actually double sided fakes out there.

Also can anyone confirm whether or not the release date (December 18th) is at the bottom of the original teaser or not?

Here be the text. Pretty funny:

With all the Avatar-related depression CNN reported (based on their crack research into message board posts Filmdrunk was making fun of the week before), it was only a matter of time before Avatar straight-up killed a man.

According to AFP, the 42-year-old cinemagoer, surnamed Kuo, had a history of high blood pressure and suffered a stroke while watching the film in in the northern city of Hsinchu (Taiwan). Emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih told AFP: “It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms.” [Ed.- He then added, "This movie is so exciting, your brain will s*** the bed! Avatar, in theaters now."] The China Times reported that the incident represented “the first death linked to watching James Cameron’s science-fiction epic”.

The first death. Only the first. Expect more of these as people try to spraypaint themselves blue and die from fumes, or jump on a leopard thinking it’s a leonopteryx, or get strangled by a blogger for buying an Avatar t-shirt before even seeing the movie. Papyrus font changes a man.

Interesting indeed. It's like the mission space ride at Disney.

Wonder how many people die each year while watching movies in a theater? Gotta think its not that uncommon.

But it's AVATAR, which automatically makes it more important than anything that has ever happened in a theater showing any previously made film.

Especially if you have faulty symptoms to begin with ............ the press (of any kind) is evil sometimes. Still its kind of a sad story that some dude goes to a movie to be entertained and ultimately dies in the process.

And now AVATAR is getting credit for George Lucas re-releasing the STAR WARS films in 3-D, even though he started mentioning doing that 10 years ago and they'd already been working on it.

Avatar cured my herpes.

See... that's what is weird. This story about someone dying in a theater while viewing AVATAR. I thought the opposite happened.

 

[galactiboy]

Avatar cured my herpes.

Wow, I don't think it cured mine

Thanks to Avatar I can now have "Happy Time" with my left hand.

Somewhere deep down, I believe that James Cameron knows that his ex-wife actually made a better film last year (THE HURT LOCKER).

He knows but he doesn't give a ____ because he is swimming in money.

He has even more creditability now that Fox will let him do whatever the hell he wants.
