_Avatar_, directed by James Cameron

re: na'vi tactics

i was thinking they were gonna hide out on the floating mountains and like dump giant boulders onto the flying machines. but not. deej is right that there were a lot of missed opportunities for actual/interesting battle tactics in that final fight (which was surprisingly rushed for the battle-action climax of a contemporary adventure film).

and i dunno where s1ocki's review ran, but it's true abt the inversion of aliens thing. seemed very obviously intentional on cameron's part.

there were these kids sitting in front of me that were too young (in the 4-6 range) and they kept turning to their dad asking 'is that guy gonna be okay?'. i wish i had brought my flask and made a drinking game of it.

re: final battle & disappointment

for one thing they said they rode out on the 4 winds or whatever, i thought that meant we would get at least 4 different types of mounts. also there should've been some even bigger badasser thing they could've ridden into battle, i paid 12.50 for this shit, where's my fucking wormsign?

this remark from Cameron to Peter "LOTR" Jackson made me tense:

Cameron: But they've also lost the courage to make, frankly, a movie like Avatar, which is a blockbuster-scaled movie not based on prior arc. All the blockbusters of the last four years, like Transformers, Harry Potter, Spider-Man—they're all films based on other films or part of a franchise

such a red herring, that argument. who gives a shit about original material as long as the end result is good.

god forbit we cultivate enduring, multifaceted myths within the culture

forbit? what the fuck is that

you're holding up NORBIT as an example of that?

btw i caught a typo - u wrote forbit instead of norbit

i loved this movie but PLEASE don't let there be a sequel

hoping for a prequel, are you?

Norbit 3-D

"We're going to take the same 3D technology James Cameron used in AVATAR and stick it up Eddie Murphy's butt."

They should do, like, little serialized 20 minute sequels to stick in front of future 3-D features. It'd be cheaper and shorter. Blue people gather nuts and berries. Blue people plan a surprise party. Blue kids' first day at school. Like Berenstain Bears or something. They lived in a tree, too, right?

there weren't any blue people in norbit!

the estimable Godfrey Ch^shire sez

AVATAR = THE LION KING meets THE HURT LOCKER

kinda

slocki have you passed by the revamped bar on the corner of bernard & st-laurent? i think it's based on avatar's 90s hippie-rave colour scheme but with more decorative cocaine

haha no

any hot na'vi in there

anyone do the feliz na'vidad joke yet or

animated gif greeting card waiting to happen

im just glad the word "reali-tree" was never used in this movie

ahahaa
i'm pretty sure half my brain went into auto shutdown 10 min into this movie btw. but i still like its spectacle tho
even if i can't pass that bar without picturing dorky na'vi drinking some kind of sub-star-trek glowing purple booze

'the reali-tree' is the afterschool cartoon kids series btw
like The ewoks

they totally should of had a na'vi bar scene

a cripple, a na'vi, and an army major walk into a bar...

ouch, ouch (in papyrus), ouch!

Papyrus was so lols. I could not fucking believe it. Also how in 3D that the subtitles just kind of float there & are sometimes not in the foreground.

Papyrus is the font of day spas run by women who have no formal business training.

papyrus is the font the ancient egyptians wrote in, on papyrus

The rosetta stone was a document detailing how it is no longer profitable to keep running Sandy's day spa.

lol people watched this moview

impressive with plenty of lame bits and aspects

heard the linguist who created the na'vi language on the radio the other day and thought, oh dude, you wish you'd been at that late-nite dinner where someone lost a drunk bet on font choice..

anyone do the feliz na'vidad joke yet or

Or Blue Christmas at the very least.
