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)
Nah, it’s because the dirty liberals changed them from their original skin color.
Which was a sort of greenish yellow-purple.
No, I mean the original in 1991
A grungy sort of beige plaid?
Kinda yeah
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?
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
Yvan eht nioj
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?
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.
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.
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!
I watched YouTube on it once, because my phone died… and I was somewhere that I wanted to leave but couldn’t… So I was bored as fuck and that was the best thing I could do.
I have so many questions. How were you able to watch YouTube on your watch if your phone was dead? Are you one of those rich people who pays for a data plan for their watch? Or if you were at home on WiFi, what was preventing you from charging your phone? Didn’t feel like getting up to grab the charger?
The watch is a WiFi one, it worked because it had the connection of wifi from there.
I wasn’t home, didn’t have a charger, and althought I could have asked for one my phone like was like dead I would have needed to be next to the plug to use it and in any case my hope was I could leave soon so I didn’t want to bother.
This is halarious entirely because I don’t understand it.
how can you get a bajillion dollars from a film and then act pretentious about how people watch it. who cares?
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
