this movie and the Lost finale are my two "never forgive, never forget" media experiences of recent memory. hype hype hype and then soul-crushingly bad writing.

avatar didn't totally work for me for various reasons but i gotta say i'm glad cameron is making these types of films, though when i say "making" and "films" i guess it should be noted that he's only made two in 16 years but still...

omar little, Monday, 6 December 2010 23:24 (thirteen years ago) link

i think the word 'still' should have been in quotes too

shirley summistake (s1ocki), Monday, 6 December 2010 23:25 (thirteen years ago) link

i should have put "films" in in double quotes

omg @ terror train

At a college pre-med student fraternity New Year's Eve party, a reluctant Alana Maxwell is coerced into participating in a prank: she lures the shy and awkward pledge Kenny Hampson into a darkened room on the promise of a sexual liaison. However some other students have placed a woman's corpse in the bed.

Huh.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link

I hope it's a "flight simulator" type ride and not a "fornicate with your horse via your tail simulator" type ride

the tax avocado (DJP), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link

That ever elusive next level.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:36 (twelve years ago) link

fornicate-with-your-horse-via-your-tail simulator, in case that was unclear, although I guess a tail simulator would be a by-product of any such ride anyway

the tax avocado (DJP), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:36 (twelve years ago) link

bleh.

am0n, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link

So, when does this movie come out?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:46 (twelve years ago) link

Supposed to be a big deal, right?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:46 (twelve years ago) link

3-D or something?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:46 (twelve years ago) link

amon: that Airbender ride has since been rebranded to Snoopy: Surf Dog.

smelly's wife (rustic italian flatbread), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

I am fairly certain "I wanna bone blue chicks" is going to be a central theme to this movie.

I would like to point out that I was OTM on this thread

the tax avocado (DJP), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

Nah, there was just one blue chick, and it was LOVE.

Whatever it is, get ready to smell it:

“I definitely want to do a flight attraction of some kind,” the director said, citing the “Soarin’ Over California” flying ride at Disney’s California Adventure Park in Anaheim as a personal favorite. “Flying is a big part of the movie. One of the things people liked the most at test screenings was going up into the floating mountains in the flying sequences. We may have banshees, Leonopteryxes, maybe some other flying creatures that don’t make their appearance until the second and third films.”

Disney’s Imagineers will also be tasked with bringing Na’vi culture and the natural world of Pandora to life, along with creating “a general sense of the future,” Cameron said.

“It all needs to be one fabric,” he said. “As long as it’s thematically consistent, as long as it looks and feels and smells the way you imagine it, then we’ve succeeded.”
