No, bump it up, it's a trip. If only to hear Angelina Jolie wearing an eyepatch say "Alert the amphibious squadron!"

Everything Reitman said made me me want him to stfu, way more annoying than Cameron.

also as far as a purely visual experience the imax theater at the boston museum of science had a trailer that theyd show before every movie when i was a kid that had a helicopter shot flying over the city that was always so much better than anything in whatever animal/space doc they were screening - you were flying over beacon hill and then the camera tilts forward and u feel like youre gonna fall out yr seat - amazing
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, December 16, 2009 1:11 PM
the imax @ dc air and space museum has a movie thats pretty much that all the way through. saw it so many times

haven't seen the vid but the interview reads like Reitman is young and intimidated. Almost as though he's the youngest dude in the room.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 16 December 2009 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link
reitman is a fucking terrible douche and tarantino as gasbag hasbeen.
cameron is a funny guy tho, even though he hasn't done a decent movie in twenty years. i sort of warm to anyone who wears a HMFIC baseball cap.

whatevs i heard him on the radio last week and was like stfu stfumade me not want to see 'up in the air', though people seem to like it... that said, to quote cameron:"I'd just as soon not meet people and talk about the movie. And I don't mean that in some disdainful way, it's just the movie should be the movie."

speaking of pretty films with shitty stories, is this better looking than that final fantasy movie? cause that's kinda like my baseline reference point for what I will tolerate to see some awesome cgi boobs

lindy west @ the stranger, who's an dependably bullshit-free appreciator of cheap pop trash, loved the blue furry dogshit out it. which may or may not be worth a ten-penny damn, but i'm encouraged.

My boy went straight to bed when he got home last night but he said it was the greatest film ever on the way thru. This applies to 12 year-old boys only, obv.

James who? You remember -- unassuming chap, made a modest flick about the Titanic 12 years ago. His new movie, Avatar, is a computer-generated 3-D science-fiction eco-tract which arrives with marginally more fanfare than Christmas. It's also the first veiled critique of the West's foreign policy to cost almost as much as the US defence budget. (Plus you get Leona Lewis singing over the end credits. At least I think she was singing. The possibility remains that she caught her foot in the car door and the composer James Horner merely set her distress to music.)

Ha! But to tell you the truth, after months of hating I'm actually looking forward to this. I can't remember the last "event" movie that felt like an actual event. I suppose "Lord of the Rings?"

W this amt of controlled publicity Waterworld would've worked. Dunno if that's good or bad, tho.

Watchmen seemed like the last big film with a ton of publicity that made up for the fact that noone knew the comic, the actors and it was a 3 hour long piece of bullshit... oh.
