do you think cameron will point at the audience and say "i see you" during his acceptance speech?

well, that wasn't bad ... but it did ultimately make me feel guilty for spending $13.50 on an imax movie instead of, like, trekking in patagonia or the amazon or something. or hell, even being outside.

chew on that 4 a min
Is it only when people are at death's door that the Na'vi all have to sit around the tree and spin and hold each others' shoulders and chant? If you had to do that every time someone got, say, a major injury, that would be a real pain in the ass.

this was a good time and the story/dialogue is really not worse than hollywood norms. tons of movies have plots at least as ridiculous, and almost none of them ever make me feel like i'm dodging missiles on dragonback. and all the gaia worship stuff is hokey as hell but hokey gaia worship isn't really like a moral flaw imo. plus i liked how the whole planet seemed designed to be seen under a black light. i think cameron is kind of a suburban-basement stoner at heart.

The whole biolumescent look of Pandoran was inspired by the coral sea beds he witnessed during all the scuba dives he took between Titanic and this, wasn't it?

Did it freak anyone else out how much Na'vi Sigourney Weaver looked like human Sigourney Weaver? The others it was like 'oh yeah I can see how that's an avatar of him' and Sigourney's was like 'oh my fucking god Sigourney what did they do to your face did we learn nothing from ANTZ.'

Maybe if you did two cam shots using the tripod in the exact same place both times, and shot it through one lense at a time on those 3d glasses they gave you. It's easy to combine two video images in AE to get an anaglyph 3d (red-blue). Would be dark as hell but i bet you could do it!

its weird but the more distance i get from this the more i like it. saw it in imax 3d on saturday (it owned) (some of the decisions probably make more sense in this format, like the abundance of aerial scenes - the sense of height is dizzying at times), usually the further i get from seeing a movie the more i pick it apart, my initial reaction was 'glad i went but i won't be rushing to see it again' but right now i'd really like to see it again. the quality of the facial animation was probably the most startling thing effects-wise, that was some next level shit imo
my other initial reaction was that one of cameron's bigger gambles (getting people to care about the navi and all the new age hokum about the spirit of the planet) failed, but again in retrospect it kinda works. still i wished there were more moments like the one where the floaty jellyfish seeds are swarming around sully and he swats one away - that got the biggest laugh of the movie.
still wondering how the hell those floating islands had waterfalls
also michelle rodriguez has some fine-ass titties

I stand by this. I enjoyed the hell out of the visual aspect of this movie (the plot was entirely forgettable). But I just can't believe that 150 years from now, no matter how bad the economy is, NO ONE will be pushing themselves around in manual wheelchairs.

the mist evaporates as it falls into the air, then drifts up and recoalesces as tiny rainclouds that rain down on the island, providing a perpetual waterfall.

The giant rocks hover, as far as I can tell, because they are filled with very expensive floating rocks, but high-priced technology is not likely to be spent on some crippled army grunt. Anyway, they already bought him a big blue metabody.
I bet fifty years ago people would've said that there's no way people would still be pushing themselves around on fixed gear bicycles or using crutches or etc. in 2010, but here we are.
