Fuck you Avatar

[Tadao]

So, I saw a commercial today that stated Avatar has done something new and different by mixing live action and CGI together.

Bullshit. SciFi channel does this shit every Saturday. Fuck Avatar. Science Fiction I say!

[MarioRPG]

I really have no interest in the movie. I'm also pretty sure it's for kids.

[Sam]

MANTICORE BEAT THEM TOO IT.

ALSO, THAT ONE ABOUT THE NAZI SUPER SOLDIER FOLLOWING AROUND THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND I THINK IT HAD A CHAIN GUN ARM. :\

[Tadao]

500 million to make this movie? I bet it's because of the 5 million dollar handjobs.

[Supafly345]

Well its the first thing james cameron has been involved with in the past 20 years that didn't involve the ocean. Theres gotta be something special about it to drag him outta the goddamn water.

[Pentegarn]

I am still on the fence about this movie. I guess I will decide this week if I want to see it or wait till DVD or skip it entirely

[Mockery]

My problem with it is how godawful stupid the blue creatures look. I'm not talking about my general dislike for CGI, I'm talking about the actual design of the creatures looks ridiculous. The story itself may be interesting for all I know, but the look of it all makes me want to punch the screen every time I see a trailer for it.

[Tadao]

I've seen a cool explosion behund a mechwalker type thing, but yeah, the blue cartoon look is really killing it for me too.

[captain516]

I wonder what Geggy thinks of this. Also I think this movie turned Roger Ebert into a furry.
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091211/REVIEWS/912119998
And Cameron and his artists succeed at the difficult challenge of making Neytiri a blue-skinned giantess with golden eyes and a long, supple tail, and yet--I'll be damned. Sexy.:(

Well since the movie is designed hands down to be a pure 3D experience I'd suggest you either see it in theaters or not at all.

[Ant10708]

500 million to make this movie? I bet it's because of the 5 million dollar handjobs.
Well apparently its not too much higher then other big blockbuster movies produced nowdays but the number does seem ridiculous. He also invented a new camera technology where he could see his cgi effects play out in real time with the footage he was shooting so I'm sure that cost a few dozen million.

[DonkeyRyan]

Ever since the first trailer that I saw for this movie, I've thought that it looks so uninteresting. I have to agree that every time I see those blue things I wonder why they made them look like that. Is it so that they could make toys out of them?

[Ant10708]

He claims he made them blue because he didn't want them to have any color of a human race and green was already taken by aliens:\

[LordSappington]

It looks like Pocahontas with aliens.

[The Leader]

I'm looking forward to it. :(

[Zhukov]

It looks like Pocahontas with aliens.

That's a good call. I might steal that.

[Pentegarn]

Well since the movie is designed hands down to be a pure 3D experience I'd suggest you either see it in theaters or not at all.

My eyes don't work together (among other issues they have such as astigmatism and near-sightedness) so 3d for the most part does not work on me because my depth perception is so bad a cyclops would say, 'damn, his depth perception sucks'

HELL YEAH. FUCK YOU AVATAR YOU FUCKING HOMO

[darkvare]

i'm freshly back from seeing the movie and all i'm gonna say is it is mindblowingly awesome. that is all

[Tadao]

I guess the actress Zoey something shops at the grocery store by my GF's. She says she looks beautiful all the time and without make up.

I think that little story I just told will be better than the movie.

[Tadao]

I CHANGED MY MIND! THIS LOOKS SO UNLIKE SCIFI CHANNEL! SO NEW AND CREATIVE AND THOUGHT PROVOKING! OMG I THOUGHT THE FAKE CGI WOULD SUCK ME OUT OF THE MOVIE, BUT WITH A SCREENSHOT LIKE THIS! I NOW KNOW HOW WRONG I WAS!

http://l.yimg.com/k/omg/us/img/8f/5b/8992_10500786710.jpg

[Babs]

Fuck this stupid movie. Fuck that stupid crippled bitch described in the review and above of all FUCK JAMES CAMERON.

I can't believe what I have read earlier about this movie. "After a decade, Cameron sets the avatar of our new generation," FUCKING WOW!!!

For christ's fucking sake, go watch City of God, now that's a real movie.

[BatmanJohnson]

Saw it, was terribly over hyped. It was pretty but that was about it.

[HickMan]

I saw it last night in IMAX and...it really blew my mind. Maybe it's because I don't get to see too many movies these days, but I thought it was pretty damn amazing looking...

Oh, and the stoy is tolerable. Really really predictable, but the look of it was something I've never seen before.

[bigtimecow]

see, last semester there was a section in one of my classes about online identity and avatars etc etc etc, so just by that information the concept of the movie immediately sounded interesting (human mind into an alien "avatar" body; like a physical realization of internet avatars and what not), and yes it does indeed look pretty. but if 20 years is what it has taken just for something that looks nice, then i dunno

[Geggy]

I saw this movie last night. It blew me away :\

Not surprising that it did since its james freaking cameron, the "king of the world"

[Babs]

Saying this movie is anything remotely good is like saying Star Wars Episode III is a masterpiece.

[Phoenix Gamma]

So basically the aliens are metaphors for Native Americans.

Also, this guy's been gone for so long, he's gonna have to reprove himself. When you spend (according to him) 12 years on something, your perspective tends to skew.

Plus, I watched that asshole talk about the story for a goddamn hour at E3, and I'm still ripshit. Fuck that guy >:

[Dimnos]

Im going to have to say that the story was pretty fucking awesome...

[Dimnos]

Back in 1957 when it was presented as "Call Me Joe" :\

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_Me_Joe

[Dimnos]

Or if you dont like that. Take a look at a crappy animated movie called Delgo...

http://www.movieline.com/2009/08/the-7-eeriest-parallels-between-avatar-and-delgo.php

[Phoenix Gamma]

More like Dances with Smurfs.

[Ant10708]

Also, this guy's been gone for so long, he's gonna have to reprove himself. When you spend (according to him) 12 years on something, your perspective tends to skew.
He doesn't need to reprove himself at all. What the fuck are you talking about? He has made some of the most successful and highest grossing films of all time and if the studio felt that he needed to reprove himself he wouldn't of been green lighted the largest Hollywood movie budget in history for this film with basically free reign to do the film as he wanted to do it.

[Phoenix Gamma]

It's his last directing role since...what, Titanic?

And again, this is a guy who won't shut the fuck up about how cool he thinks his story is, because he devoted 12 years to it. It's kinda like that delusional guy who made Bob's Game and went batshit because Nintendo wouldn't publish it. I'd laugh if this sold worse than New Moon.

I don't think it's bad because he's narcissistic, or because he may or may not be rusty. I just don't see anything special about this other than the tech used to make it. Just because the guy who made Terminator made this doesn't mean everything he touches turns to gold.

Besides, I don't really know anyone who's excited about this film who wasn't stage crew for the film. I'll gladly wait to rent this.

[Babs]

Stop boasting James Cameron like he's some fucking last footed soldier. He can only IMAGINE himself falling in the shadows of the greats. Talking about the fuck face like he's god damn John Cassavettes.

[kahljorn]

last footed soldier?

boasting james cameron?

are these the names of superheros :O

[Dimnos]

Not that Im saying this as a strong support for the Avatar movie but...

James Cameron is WAY fucking better than John Cassavettes. :rolleyes

[Babs]

I rather not prefer a movie where the characters with a blue complexion look as if they have fetal alcohol syndrome. Personal preference I suppose.

[Guitar Woman]

Based on the TV spots, I can't believe anyone is seeing this movie. It looks like a fucking abortion.

[darkvare]

i'm going to see it again on sunday

[BatmanJohnson]

Did you see it in 2D the first time around? I'm wondering what the people who chose or had no choice to see the movie in 2D thought of it.

I'm not going to give out all the info of this movie. But I loved it when the evil colonel who acted all nonchalant while drinking cup of coffee inside the cockpit when shit were getting blown up. I thought I was going to die laughing.

[Babs]

I saw this movie the other night (don't worry, one cent wasn't spent to watch it) and all I have to say is....... it sucked ass.

[Geggy]

What didn't you like about the movie? Was it the acting? The plot? It couldn't have been the CGI because it was pretty goddamn epic and unlike any other movies I've ever seen. The plot was simple and unoriginal but it wasn't terrible. My only peeve was the battle in the end of the movie that mildly disrupted the flow of the movie because it was pretty corny. I didn't allow it to dictate my opinion of the first 2 hours of the movie tho.

[Babs]

Maybe the lack of aesthetic.

i saw it in 3d and is gonna be the same on sunday i mean is only 75 pesos like around 5 dollars

[Geggy]

I'm definitely going to see it again AT ANY COST. I just want to throw my money at james cameron. I'm hoping to catch it in the real imax theater and not the fake one at amc/loews like I did the first time.

[Ant10708]

I saw it last night. I'm a big fan of 3D movies in general and have gone to quite a few so far this year. The 3D effects are all top notch. The world of Pandora was very well detailed and all the creatures were interesting. The bright colors of the world and the creatures was also quite a sight (:hypno). The plot was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, although some dialogue was noticeably very bad. My only real complaint is it felt way to long. The middle of the movie dragged on with barely an action sequence in sight and way to much romance filler. The action in the beginning and the end of the movie was all excellent. Worth seeing in theaters thou because of the great quality 3d effects and i also thought the sound of the movie seemed of very high quality. just maybe wait until the theaters are less crowded so your able to stretch a little when hour two hits and you realize you still have like 40 minutes to go.

I also imagine if you saw this movie in 2d that it would not be nearly as enjoyable to look at because it was made with the 3d effects as the prime focus

[Ant10708]

I saw this movie the other night (don't worry, one cent wasn't spent to watch it) and all I have to say is....... it sucked ass.
of course you felt that way because you were hating on it from day one. it wasn't amazing but its not nearly as bad as you claim. you much really hate 3D

[Krythor]

it was okay, but I'm sick of hamfisted iraq analogies in blockbusters. I couldn't believe that the phrase "shock and awe" came so soon after the line "we'll fight terror with terror."

[Tadao]

I movie that is solely reliant on 3d cgi doesn't sound very fun.

[Colonel Flagg]

I probably won't see it - 3D movies give me a headache, and I don't see the thrill in seeing "Call Me Joe" in 2D for 2 hours and 41 minutes, when it takes only about a half hour to read the short story. :(

[Ant10708]

it was okay, but I'm sick of hamfisted iraq analogies in blockbusters. I couldn't believe that the phrase "shock and awe" came so soon after the line "we'll fight terror with terror." agreed. the talk of pre meditated attack was pushing it already but when they said we need to fight terror with terror, for no reasopn whats so ever, i def rolled my eyes

[Ant10708]

I movie that is solely reliant on 3d cgi doesn't sound very fun.
Its a visual treat. The plot is something you will be able to sit through. You use your eyes to look at a movie and this one happens to be very pretty and fun to look at. It relies heavily on the 3d just like movies rely on pretty action sequences nowadays( see sherlock holmes)

[Tadao]

I don't want to see Holmes either. I feel sorry for the kid who is gonna try to read any Holmes after seeing the movie, the book will be to smart for him.

[Ant10708]

No kid is going to try to read sherlock holmes after seeing the movie so don't worry. Most kids don't go out and look for books after seeing a movie they enjoyed which happened to be adapted from a book.

edit: most (American) kids don't read books for enjoyment period.

[Babs]

This movie is still fucking stupid.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I thought they were supposed to be Native Americans. Or Africans.

[Sam]

I fell asleep during this movie and had a dream about my ex-girlfriend turning into a cat that wanted to kill me, but then I had a double-barreled shotgun and I beat the fuck out of her. Then I woke up and saw blue people dying and a hammerhead shark with legs beating up robots and then I threw up. :\

[Phoenix Gamma]

My sister saw the movie. When she came home, she said "I want to be an Avatarrr".

I hear if you shoot someone where the spine meets the skull, it'll be a painless death.

[HickMan]

This movie is still fucking stupid.

I believe you have made your point. Reiterating it over and over again won't make you sound smart or funny.

[darkvare]

you can also slip her some sleeping pills

[elx]

okay so, last night i went to see avatar in imax and 3d. we got there two hours in advance, but they were sold out, like completely, they'd been sold out forever, but the ticket dude pulled us aside and sold us them anyway. (yay!)

so we get our tickets, and we're planning on leaving, going to do w/e for two hours, but then we see the line. the nerd line for those that were there three hours in advance just to get a center seat. so instead of leaving, we start talking to some of the people in the line, who tell us that if we don't get in the line, we probably won't even be able to sit together.

anyway, the film itself was spectacular and i'm not just saying that because i got an awesome viewing experience -- it was really great. i'm incredibly picky and i haven't enjoyed a movie in years. my only complaints with this were some cheesy dialog and the creepy smurf sex :x

definitely go check this out, even if you don't like it, it's worth seeing just for the alice in wonderland trailer. :3 (just remember to get there early and wear a helmet)

[ZeldaQueen]

It was nice, but I really think that if you took away the special effects then the movie would just be mediocre.

Anyway, the ending just dragged on. It's like Titanic - yeah it's good, but after awhile you want to shout "God! Are you going to get off the boat now or what?"

[LordSappington]

I hear if you shoot someone where the spine meets the skull, it'll be a painless death.
I believe the Germans called that a 'Noodle.'

[Kitsa]

The 3-D/Imax must really add something because when I see all the trailers it looks no different to me than that Star Wars clone wars thing they show on Cartoon Network all the time. The characters even look the same.

[Zombie Loaf]

I seriously doubt that anyone will really care about this movie in ten years. Special effects outclass themselves every year so what seems amazing today is going to look god damn awful down the road. It doesn't matter how much cash you blindly throw at it, without a memorable story and heart you have nothing. Hollywood blockbusters lack just that, story and heart.

[Tadao]

I wonder if there is Avatar furrie fanfic yet.

[Zombie Loaf]

I wonder if there is Avatar furrie fanfic yet.
Well this is the internet we're talking about so, yeah...I'd be surprised if there wasn't.

[captain516]

I know i'm late to the party, but I liked it.

yeah i think you're right about the characters:( i'm not sure exactly how/why, but the avatar people look absolutely ridiculous on my television - while on the theatre screen they looked kinda like awesomely godly smurfs.

[jonemere]

I saw this movie at last night. I thought it was pretty movie. It is the best movie of the year. It was entertaining and enjoyable movie. Awesome movie. I really enjoyed.

[Supafly345]

I really enjoyed this. It had a weak generic story, and the iraq/native american metaphors were artlessly obvious, but the emotional development was excellent so when we got to the action it had a terrific satisfying punch to it. All of these things would make a mediocre film, but the visuals were just so outstanding they ended up in the backseat and more served to flesh out the movie properly. It didn't feel at all like I was watching a cartoon, as most cg film feel like to me.
I'd watch it again.

"When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed ... gray. It was like my whole life, everything I've done and worked for, lost its meaning," Hill wrote on the forum. "It just seems so ... meaningless. I still don't really see any reason to keep ... doing things at all. I live in a dying world."

HEY GEGGY!

Are you completely deaf? We used to have headsets for the hard of hearing, we even had a few blind people frequent our theater, but I don't know how a 100 percent deaf person good enjoy a movie in a theater that doesn't have sign language or subtitles.

[Geggy]

These are the kind of people who probably grew up in Compton and have never been to Utah or Vermont.

I watch 90 percent of my movies at home with my entertainment system. I hear well when I'm wearing my hearing aids but a lot of time I don't understand what the actors are saying. I'd just go see a movie just for the action or the visuals on the big screen. I would pay the same price for tickets as senior citizens. But Avatar was easy to follow and understand even without the subtitles for several reasons, one is being that the story was cliche and had been done before. They also have this invention called rear window captioning which sucks ass. I saw it during dark knight and I spend 75 percent of the time adjusting the window. RWC explained here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_Window_Captioning_System

[Tadao]

Hmm, RWC sounds like a great invention in theory. Even better would be an invisible light wave of text on the screen but when you wear the special glasses the text appears on the screen. You should copyright that.

Just got back from it. I liked the visuals. It felt like they went to Guadosalam and filmed it in the farplane.

On the fan forum site "Avatar Forums," a topic thread entitled "Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible," has received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to help them cope.

wait a second, is the mineral they're trying to mine ACTUALLY called unobtainium? that is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. plus unobtainium is way less efficient a fuel source than handwavium

It's the same with Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Twilight. People just wish they could live in a world where they weren't losers.

Someone showed me a "My Life is Twilight" site, which is basically just Fuck My Life, but way more depressing. So yea, people get really crazy about these big movie fads.

[Tadao]

I used to wish I could live in the DnD universe, but in a way I kinda id just by playing the game. This only adds to my theory that there is no substance behind this movie and it's just a bunch of candy that leaves the viewer unsatisfied and dead inside.

The only DnD universe I ever wished I lived in was the cartoon version. I was utterly fucking charmed by the intro when I was a kid.

Im depressed I live in a world where such a large number of people can be depressed about something so retarded while not orchestrating a heavens gate plan. :suicide

[Wiffles]

It wasn't all that bad. Sure the Pocahontas colonialism theme has been played out, but the world (Pandora) was so well designed from the hardware, creatures and the terrain. Its like a flight of fancy to an distant alien world. Sure the aliens were kinda cute with their big eyes and slender faces, but It just tied in with the aesthetics to make them more emotive and easier for us to relate to as characters. Although I prefer alien design that are less "humanoid" like District 9 ^.^

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

[Archduke Tips]

Titanic really sucked so bad I couldn't stand to watch the whole thing. However, Avatar in 3D was one of the most amazing movies I have seen.

The story was a bit weak, but the 3D animation was amazing. I would recommend seeing it in 3D before it is out of theaters.

Jim Cameron's "Titanic" comes in at No. 6 on the chart (with $955 million) while "Avatar" doesn't even come close to making the top 10, with a mere $558 million in grosses."

It's like you only show up every 3 weeks, find a post, and bitch how things aren't like you. Fucking end your life already.

[Tadao]

Just joking. :lol

guys i think he might have avatar syndrome, better be careful or he might hurt himself :(

[Ant10708]

no avatar related depression here. i have no desire to be a blue hippie. i like my username, tadao. its funny that you claim i failed at making something of myself on the internet as if thats a goal people aside from tila tequlia should pursue or something i aim to achieve. this is a general message board where people mock people and refuse to have any sort of intelligent conversation. i could care less if anything memorable comes out of what i post. i dont put effort into imockery lol. its not my site. i like the owner rog and enjoy conversing with him from time to time and reading his articles is always a good time but if the site closed tonight then id say oh well and go read an article somewhere else. you even said yourself, i post occassionally and spend alot less of my life on the internet then you. its ok. make your mark on the web.

now to move on. i would like to see the movie a second time on the mega imax in nyc. we have one on long island that im pretty sure is going to go out of business soon(they failed to get the last big non 3d imax release) but that one is not capable of showing 3d. i think the one in nyc does have that ability thou and i imagine seeing a 3d movie on a screen that big could be a trip.

any real imax theaters by any of you guys? not these new rip off digital imax theaters popping up everywhere. the mega imax screens are truly something amazing for a movie fan if you get a good seat up high in the middle. they have made like a whole new degree of stadium seating. im pretty sure if shaq sat in a row in front of you he wouldnt block ur view or only a small since the average persons head is well below your feet.

We got an I-Max around here, but I really don't want to risk anyone I know seeing me go see Avatar

I'm not going to waste my time and $10 to see a movie solely for 'AMAZNG DIGITIL AFFECTS!!!11!!oneone'

I finally decided to see it this past weekend before it goes out of 3D.
And it is pretty (Pandora glows like a Christmas tree at night).

I'm sure I was affected by the insane over-hype the movie has, but it definitely didn't live up to it.
"Lack of originality" is quite the understatement in my book.

But I still enjoyed it somewhat.

Why on earth did they create an entirely new planet and not put any new creatures in it?
You've got horses, lions, rhinos, hyenas, jellyfish, and dragons. And even the Navi are clearly supposed to be Indians.
The only new things I saw were the helicopter bugs. It made no sense, and really bugged me the whole movie.

It's not? I hadn't heard anything about there not being any original creatures.
The reason I know the dog-things were in fact Hyenas and not wolves or something is because they make the same exact sound as Hyenas!
No original creatures certainly spoiled the movie for me. :(

[Tadao]

Why would you think he was going to use original creatures when he already stole the whole plot?

Specifically, Protoclown's review:
"All kinds of interesting alien and plant life is shown in the movie, and the amount of detail and effort
they put into designing and creating this alien world is truly impressive."

I didn't figure he would gush like that if it was only copies of real and mythical earth creatures.
I'm not trying to say I hated the movie, I was just really disappointed.

[Tadao]

:lol I gotta read his review one day.

[Pentegarn]

I can't fault Protoclown for his review. It's really hard to stretch, "Cameron steals from Pocahontas and Ender's Game and makes it last almost 3 hours" into at least 2 paragraphs :P

Essentially it is like a beauty contest contestant. Nice to look at but shallow and predictable.

I haven't been paying attention to this thread, but I'm glad other people know that ant is a pain.
