I think this is the first time I’ve seen avatar mentioned in nearly a year. Weird how a movie series that popular generates so little discussion.
I mean, a lot of people spent a lot of time discussing the first one, it just boiled down to
“It’s sci-fi Dances With Wolves, and it made a load of money.”
The sequel is the same thing, but with whales and even more explicit environmentalism/anti-colonialism
All of the social criticism is correct, but, like, do something about it, billionaire filmmaker? The discussion time is over.
“It’s sci-fi Dances With Wolves, and it made a load of money.”
Sci-fi Pocahontas is more accurate, but yeah, there’s just not much to talk about beyond the effects.
I always heard it was fern gully remake.
And some people can talk at length about an aspect of the franchise (?) that isn’t even a movie.
It’s because the movie is entirely about people of color (blue)
Yes, blue environmentalists who live in the woods.
It was the same with the first one. No one talked about it at all after it left theaters. I’ll never understand how these movies were such big hits.
Yellowstone is an incredibly popular series but it’s not really talked about either online
“no one talked about it at all”
I’ve been parts of discussions about the movie, and we’re also in one now.
No need for hyperboles
Probably because it wasn’t any good? I couldn’t even get 20 minutes into my rental to get to the plot.
After i watched the first one there’s no way im going to sit through another 4 parts
I saw it in IMAX 3D when it came out because I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it at all at home. I was fighting sleep the entire last half, I kept waking up seeing something I thought was cool and trying to stay awake, but I still slept through most of the last ACT
I guess it didn’t make any meme material?
Reminds me of this video by hbomberguy I watched a couple days ago. It talks about (among other things) how the poor quality of VHS tapes influenced the experience of watching movies, especially the horror genre.
All this to say, it’d be funny if a new type of movie/video emerged that’s great for watching on a tiny smartwatch screen but not so much on anything bigger.
We can already see this to some effect in direct to stream movies. The cinematography is geared towards viewing on smaller screens compared to being best viewed in a movie theater.
James Cameron or Colonel Sanders?
Colonel Cameron
Much better choice than James Sanders would have been.
We don’t talk about James Sanders.
Isn’t he the guy who hangs out with Bruno?
I, uh…I don’t get it.
I think maybe because it’s a movie known for putting a lot of effort into high detail visuals so watching at low quality wastes the effort put into them? idk I didn’t watch it
James Cameron will fuck you up if you don’t appreciate his amazing cinematography.
This is halarious entirely because I don’t understand it.
Don’t tell James but I saw the original Avatar as a grainy camrip with Russian subtitles and people walking in front of the screen
James Cameron: omae wa mou shindeiru
how can you get a bajillion dollars from a film and then act pretentious about how people watch it. who cares?
Artists.
Some years back when there was a bad quality demo leaked from Nightwish album, the head of the band was furious because people would judge the album based on that shit quality sample.
For some artists it’s important that the person experiencing the art can see and/or hear it as the artist intended. Which kinda makes sense that you’d want people to see the beat sidw, just like when selling a car
James Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron.
James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron.I’m interested in some of them more and hope you’ll write more about them in your next articles five nights at freddy’s
I honestly cannot understand why you would want to watch something on a smart watch. i can just about understand a tablet because it’s relatively portable, but even a phone is too small!
