James Cameron's AVATAR discussion thread

[LOTRFan]

Get used to it, potential cash-cow at the box office.

"Avatarization" of the movies.

"Avatardzation" of the movies.

Fixed that for you Matt.

 

[Shai]

lots of Avatardize people on this board.

 

[ProgMatinee]

so an article i read said that the maximum length of an IMAX film is 170 minutes. ok what happens at 171 does the world blow up or something?

can't they just do an intermission while they swap film?

I'm weary of an extended cut for Avatar. Cameron edited the film to make the December release date (even enlisting ILM to join Weta in completing FX shots at the last minute) and the result was a film shockingly devoid of weak scenes.

Even the LOTR films had some eye rolling scenes (Legolas surfing on the shield, questionable comic relief with Gimli, etc.) and I wonder if Cameron's relentless cutting of 40 minutes of originally desired footage is the reason the same doesn't hold true for Avatar.

Artistic brilliance is often born out of adversity or limitations on what can be put on screen. I can't imagine how a full-on sex scene or Tsu Tey getting drunk at a tribal party can in any way enhance the film that we've already seen.

I think Avatar would have been better if the cut 30 minutes out! I don't want more ____ added in.

 

[The Ringer]

LOTR cleaned up at the award shows.

With the right person sex makes everything better

With the right person sex makes everything better

If nothing more than to answer the question of whether they connect tails, etc.

 

[The Ween]

You aren't excited to see the Jake/Neytiri inter-species sex scene!?

From what's been reported, there's not much to it.

Then you'll be thrilled to learn that he reported to USA Today that 2012 (the 100th anniversary of the actual event) will see a 3D theatrical rerelease of Titanic.

Oh goodie! We get to see all those people die for over an hour in 3D!

Not really excited about making old movies 3D... 3D is not necessary for all movies. It is great for animated films and things like Avatar... but some its just a waste.

Alice in Wonderland is a perfect example... the 3D in that film did nothing for me.

Me either. It's different when they make a movie especially for 3D, but to go back and redo an old one is usually a waste of time.

I think Avatar would have been better if the cut 30 minutes out! I don't want more ____ added in.

I'll get the extended cut on blu-ray, but there's no way I'll go see it in the theater again.

Jeez dude you have to be the biggest hypocrite, i mean come on. If some guy came in a predator thread and said predators sucked you would say the same thing. So just becuase i liked the movie im not aloud to defend it when people bash it. I dont understand this fandom.

I havent seen one avatard in here, nobody has painted themselves blue at all, Lemme guess the person that says avatar is better then the hurt locker is deemed an avatard right ? Omg.

If you are going to insult a long-standing member you might want to use spellcheck.

I could care less if he's a long lasting member it doesnt give him the right to talk down on other people just becuase they like a movie.

Point 1: Probably. Because anyone who hates Predator is a sissy puss girl.

Point 2: Yes, you can defend it. But you dont always need to. You act like the movie is perfect, and what we who loved the movie, yet find it's problems, to be insane and untrue...when they arent.

Point 3: I've seen atleast 5.

Point 4: Yes. Yes they are.

Point 300-

Point 4:

 

[ironwez20]

Point 1
You just proven that your just like the avatar fans by saying that.

point 2
Since when have i said the movie is perfect, If sombody said they didnt like the movie it wouldnt matter, but when sombody comes and calls the fans ******* and bash the film countless times then its time to step in.

point 3

I dont care how many times you saw it.

point 4
Then you sir are a hypocrite.

 

[CelticPredator]

Point 3000- stop taking everything I say like I really honestly mean it. Jesus.....you need to learn th....oh nevermind.

I'll post this cuz again...

 

[ironwez20]

Ok so you weren't serious about what you just said ?

 

[CelticPredator]

____ NO. I've never been serious in this thread. I tell you this CONSTANTLY.
