The success of this movie is finally giving me an appreciation for what Titanic dissenters went through 12 years ago.

“If Tom Cruise left instructions for his estate that it was okay to use his likeness in Mission Impossible movies for the next 500 years, I would say that would be fine,” says Cameron.

Goddammit I want to go see it in Imax 3d but those shows are still totally selling out and I want to be in a theater that is half full at best.
I went at 11am this morning in times square and there were (a few) empty seats. but yeah you're not gonna find half full
liked it ok

Specifically dialog like this, introduced early on in the forest as spoken by an Avatar, which is like something a 16-year old boy would say while playing WOW
true but i think this is called knowing your demographic. that $1.6 billion global take (so far) is not coming primarily from ilx readers. we're just bonus dollars.

So I'm assuming this is going to win the Best Picture Golden Globe, no point in watching to see if QT pulls it out.
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 18 January 2010 04:03 (sixteen years ago)
had he announced plans to pull it out during his acceptance speech if he wins?

I went to see this in IMAX 3D and the 3D broke so they showed it in 2D. There is no fucking way I'm going to sit through this dreck again to watch it in 3D. That part of my life is wasted.
― Jeff, Monday, 18 January 2010 04:06 (sixteen years ago)
Yes he did.
You know what I meant.

Got my glasses at the ready, just in case.

I found those RealD glasses at thrift stores a few years ago and went through a phase of wearing them around. One day King Khan was in town and he was wearing them as well. He pointed out that they give off a pretty good Bo Diddley vibe!

must be weird for Kathryn Bigelow that The Hurt Locker is probably gonna lose every major award to a movie her ex-husband made
I figure if Avatar got the Golden Globe it's gonna really clean up at the Oscars
― dmr, Monday, 18 January 2010 18:48 (sixteen years ago)
possibly the best 3D effect of the whole experience was the Cheshire cat in the Alice in Wonderland trailer even though there's no way I'm actually gonna go see that movie. I'll totally see that NASA Hubble movie tho.

wait this won best picture over the hurt locker????

I loved "Avatar" but Cameron's acceptance speech is really making me reconsider.
