Avatar: The Way of Water

[JacktheRipper]

^^^^^^^^
This is what I get from those saying this is very disposable. Granted, I haven't seen it. I don't get the sense there is anything memorable aside from visually.

 

[Mandible]

Well, me either.

Despite its success, there sure isn't a lot of excitement in this thread.

Pandora just doesn't seem like a world a lot of people want to spend too much time in beyond the initial 3 hour experience.

(Other than Captain Marvel) this is the only movie I can't see how the numbers are legit; I know 4 people (including myself) that have seen it. 4.

My kids, 13 and 18 have zero interest. None of their friends. None of the people I work with (and it's a wide demographic). No-one. Barely any conversations online. It just seems really odd. I even just looked up my local cinemas for available seats and they're 90% available???

When Maverick was out, (nearly) everyone I know saw it. From 10-80 years old, it didn't matter. Not everyone loved it, but at least there was a huge amount of conversation and ground-level buzz.

My only guess is that parts of the world where English isn't their first language are going bananas on it - if not, these numbers don't make a lick of sense to me.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well, domestically, its only #23 so clearly its other places in the world that are eating this up.

 

[jedibear]

It's yellow-eyed blue cat people on a pretty planet with lots of boom-boom. For three hours. I just can't bring myself to care.
Let us know what you think, Wor-Gar after you've endured a showing...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oh, I will. I'm not eager to see this... but a free screening came up and JC is speaking afterwards so I just have to go and hear what he has to say.

 

[jedibear]

I'd be more interested in what JC says than the actual movie. Have fun!

 

[Mandible]

Oh, I will. I'm not eager to see this... but a free screening came up and JC is speaking afterwards so I just have to go and hear what he has to say.

Be interesting to see if he drops anymore odd statements (or starts crying).

 

[Johnny Utah]

Oh, I will. I'm not eager to see this... but a free screening came up and JC is speaking afterwards so I just have to go and hear what he has to say.

Someone needs to ask if we're getting a definitive T1 bluray with a commentary.

 

[Mandible]

Someone needs to ask if we're getting a definitive T1 bluray with a commentary.

And beg him to go back to the original sound for the 45 longslide.

 

[Bornz0r]

Oh, I will. I'm not eager to see this... but a free screening came up and JC is speaking afterwards so I just have to go and hear what he has to say.

Someone needs to ask if Alita 2 is ever happening

 

[The Buffinator]

Oh, I will. I'm not eager to see this... but a free screening came up and JC is speaking afterwards so I just have to go and hear what he has to say.

Ask him in a completely serious tone if Avatar 3 will have the machines' sending terminators back in time to Pandora to kill Neytiri so Jake never meets her, falls in love, betrays humanity, has kids, etc., etc.. Also the T1 Blu-ray thing...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Let me write this all down...

 

[Khev]

Why did Aquaman (and many other movies) get an IMAX enhanced 4K home release and not Alita? Lead with that one please.

 

[Khev]

Let me write this all down...

James Cameron: "Okay now we'll open up for questions. Yes, you in the back with the Toht hat?"

Wor-Gar:

 

[Wor-Gar]

Uh Mr Cameron, is it true that you are a tool? A virtual friend wants to know.

 

[Prime Clone]

Ask him if he recalls autographing an Aussie fan’s passport at the 1999 Directors Guild Awards.

Actual footage:

 

[MeatHookGekko]

Let me write this all down...

Ask him if he secretly directed The Hurt Locker.

Lots of people privately believe that.

( OK maybe don't ask him that one...)

But mostly ask him about Strange Days. He wrote that but didn't direct it himself. There's a lot of subtext to that film that indicated that there was more there in that "world building", i.e another film, a potential TV series, etc, etc.

 

[choombaz]

Ask him if he’s going to digitally fix all of the obvious stunt people in True Lies?

 

[Johnny Utah]

He confirmed The Abyss is getting a 4K release this year but I need to know if we're getting a jam-packed T1 release!
