_Avatar_, directed by James Cameron

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.

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

pandora, 20 years later

guise this movie changed me, anyone who doesnt want to make infinite cosmic love to AVATAR IMAX 3D will be forced to leave the planet

BY ME

^ dude who knows whats up

But if you left you could go to Pandora, and feel like you were really there.

im removing all fonts from my computer except PAPYRUS

requesting that someone smart make ilx.navi.papyrus stylesheet asap

and then mail everyone special glasses so that the posts are in the foreground with the ashes of dead hometree

thinkin about seeing this again in a dolby 3d theater - biggest problem about IMAX 3d is that the brightness level sucked cause of the polarization. apparently dolby 3d doesn't have this problem.

Just got out of a IMAX 3D theater a couple hours ago. It wasn't nearly as bad as I feared from the trailer and previous experiences with green-screen/cgi hybrid films. The plot is not terribly original, as everyone knows, but there was no egregiously bad dialog, and the design work and facial motion-capture was amazingly good throughout. I consider it $13.50 very well spent.

just saw this, my sci-fi nerd dad was all excited and had to take me and my brother. maybe it was just my lowered expectations, but it was pretty nice! the dialogue/plotting was more competent than i'd prepared myself for, some cool beasties. basically surpassed my expectation that it would be like a slightly better looking Phantom Menace. (xpost haha)

haha ya it's definitely NOT the phantom menace.

oh this might actually be a good Dad movie for the holidays, huh

my dad definitely called for my $.02 about it

dad just called to say he loved it and now he needs to drive 1.5 hours to see it in 3d

tell him to take off the glasses first

dude he doesnt want to drive all the way to burlington in 2d thats so last paradigm - if u want to maintian yr critical relevancey youre really gonna have to keep up - jeez

i didnt realize avatar had pushed the envelope that far - apologies

smh

i dont drive dude how was i supposed to know

Nobody drives anymore now that we all have our own personal dragon bug things.

posting to this thread via ponytail btw

pause

it's not gonna happen but if the chipmunks squeakel outgrossed Avatar that would be some all-time lols

23/12 was Alvin 2's opening day, whereas Avatar has been out for a week, but still... Didn't have to sign an NDA for Alvin, funnily enough.

Avatar's opening weekend wasn't all that amazing, was it?

it was good but not great and needs to continue to perform to be a lol hueg blockbuster - people seem to like it so i could see that happening i guess

"dude he doesnt want to drive all the way to burlington in 2d thats so last paradigm"
he's gonna love the way it looks

okay, so i liked this. grade A+++ hokum imo. kicks all kinds of jurassic park's ass.

chipmunks is doing well because school is out and aside from Princess and the Frog, which as been out for almost a month, it's the only kid's movie in theaters for some reason (christmas carol I guess, which also stupidly opened ages ago)

cameons films all start out slow at the box office I think

chipmunks is doing well because it is going to change the face of cinema

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

Somewhere I read (and maybe you did too) is that studios are now going to try re-releasing 3-D Raiders, etc., etc., etc.

there's nerd shit and there's dork shit.

like raiders of the lost ark and ghostbusters are cool nerd shit, but like babylon 5 and dressing up like sailor moon are like lame dork shit.

Avatar was like a lame dork sandwich of furry-phile "anthropomorphic art" mixed with Ferngully.

it was really pretty tho and some of the animals were cool, peace out
