"mr. cameron how do you feel about the criticism of your story being similar to past films?"

"Mr Cameron, how do you feel about Avatar being the possible contender for number 1 top grossing movie of all time, Titanic?"
But AMC looks like donkey shit on my TV, shame it won't come on HBOHD.I saw it this afternoon, and was a little surprised to find a packed theater (I hadn't followed any of the box office stuff, so I really didn't know what to expect).
Gorgeous movie... the story is rather predictable, but it's still very entertaining to watch it all play out. 3D gave me a bit of a headache, but the effect was great once I got used to it.

Have you guys seen the new intro screen for the official Avatar website?

It was awesome when know-nothings were saying this wouldn't appeal to women.

Is it just me or did anyone else keep thinking of Zorro every time that musical chord came up in Avatar? (yes, I know they are the same composer)
Holy crap at the massive update to the Na'vi section on Pandorapedia

The one piece of music i didnt like was when the triceratops type things attack the mech suits. Made me feel like i was watching pokemon for some reason.

I took my roommate to see it yesterday. Was my second full viewing of it. What kind of bugged me was how quick Jake got his Avatar body. There was hardly any build up to it, showing up in, like, 15-20 minutes, and he's off gallabanting around. I know it's the title of the movie and all, but they didn't show claw one of an alien in Aliens for a good hour (hell, I'm watching it on AMC now and the marines are JUST now about to get their asses kicked hour fifteen in).
From what I understand, there was supposed to be more Jake on earth footage. I'd think the movie might have worked better if they showed more how losing his ability to walk skewed with his personality. Like, he never backs down from a challenge and all, but there's still a hint that he is dissapointed at what could have been. That would have made his first ride in his Avatar that much more cathartic.
Oh yeah, and Rodriguez was humbly cute in this movie

Again, ate my crow months ago when I saw the Avatar Day preview. I was, and still kinda am, butt hurt over The Last Airbender losing the Avatar title. Water under the fucking amazing movie bridge though.
Even the article for the spaceship at the beginning is huge:Grizzlyjin said:

Cameron said they will update the site more and more over the next few months. Its going to be HUGE when all is said and done.

On a related note, I just got off the phone with a girlfriend of my wife's, who wanted to take her to see Avatar tonight. (The wife is out of town for the week.)Count Dookkake said:
Her husband was balking at 3D ticket prices, and I talked her into going. Solo. To the showing in one hour. In 3D.
Now, she's not into action movies. She's hauled my wife to every chick flick that she can manage, but she's going because her circle of (female) friends at church was buzzing that it's so amazing.
I'm talking about a (Mormon) church group of housewives ranging from their mid 30's to 50's hyping each other up to see Avatar in 3D.
The movie is going to make so much fucking money. :lol
I thought you had, but it was just funny reading that post with your current Avatar avatar next to it.Snaku said:

Best song in the movie imo. Loved that entire sequence of the movie. I just bought the soundtrack and the 3 books off amazon. Also bought a couple of the movie posters. Next up...who knows, but my friend who is back in town Friday wants to go see this in 3D since his town has no 3D theaters so I guess a 5th time is in store way faster than I thought I would see it again :lol
Probably the thing that bothered me the most was the Loony Toons physics near the end.
When the bad guy in the mech basically stepped out of the falling ship just before it crashed, somehow inertia ceased to effect him. It instantly reminded me of the old Bugs Bunny, stepping out of a falling elevator, gag :lol

Still edited. And lots of AMC HD stuff is just stretched or cropped. Aliens would probably be shown in its OAR, but it would still be edited to hell.

That brings up yet another reason why AVATAR is brilliant and has such a broad appeal.

Oh btw, something I think I'd never witnessed in a theatre (here in Portugal). At the end there was APPLAUSE. :O:O It's really really unusual to say the least. I guess normally over here men are too manly and women are too womanly... err.. or something... and are afraid to show emotion, but NOT THIS TIME. :lol
And seeing people are just picking composers... Inon Zur anyone?
I saw the movie for the first time yesterday, and it too yielded applause at the end.
While I have been to movies with applause before, I can't recall it ever happening this late after opening.

True, though based on the physics models they used, it doesn't seem to be that much of a difference. Whatever though, it's not like I really expect complete realism when we
re talking about a fight between a 10' blue alien and a mech, while mountains are floating above them
took my mum the other night.
she has never seen a sci-fi movie of any kind EVER. mum had me when she was getting on so she is well over 70.
I quote " Oh my, that was an experience", "what imagination they must have", and "I think i'll have trouble sleeping"
she was blown away. totally blown away. I was stunned.

that's a bit of a copout, as there's nothing in any other scenes to suggest this at all.Mad Hatter said:
