You can still make polemics interesting and not racist.

I watched this but shouldn’t have because I hated the first one. I hated this more - intensely, loudly witless and boring, and unforgivably devoid of imagination.

i thought the water/whale scenes in this were just brimming with wonder and beauty lol

prob my favorite “second act where all the narrative momentum disappears for whatever reason, usually bc of the temporary evasion of the bad guy” in a james cameron film

lol I enjoyed this movie, esp the water/whale stuff (I was also v v st0ned), but I also enjoy watching YouTube videos of theme park rides so I guess it tracks.

I tried watching this sober today. Lasted about 20 minutes. Nope. Gotta be in the mood for endless CGI “wonder”.

big screen = imax 3d
Well-meaning but lazy cultural appropriation is still racist, just not Nazi racist.

James’ sentence is true, and I’m not equipped to judge how the scales tip between lazy and well-meaning in this instance — but Cameron’s clearly foregrounding the references, and cast Cliff Curtis as the head wet guy.

Cameron is totally going to follow up "Avatar 5" with "Titanic 2," about the search for the sub in search of "Titanic." He's got the CG water FX down, the next few years will be spent working on the script.

Sigourney Weaver has been attached to play the sub via motion capture.
