Moderation   @IronJimbo @JamesCameronScholar @ImNotExcited@watcher1232@dudalb   I'm gonna say this once, and this applies to everybody here on both sides: we're not doing this "lol look at all the doubters, Jimbo is amazing" BS anymore. We're not doing this "lol look at these Cameron fanboys. So delusional. Fanboys gonna fanboy" It's not funny, never was funny, and frankly is unnecessary nonsense that clogs up the forums.   We still have eight months to go, and we r

Moderation: Please refrain from baseless commentary on shills and paid, biased critics. The movie is getting very good reviews, that should be good enough for fans to enjoy without engaging in nonsensical fanboy nonsense.

Hello Everyone!   This is just a friendly reminder from your Admin that reviews are subjective, and are not gonna affect your overall enjoyment of the movie.   And if anything is getting too heated for you; I pinned this post! You can come back and just look at the furbabies in my signature for a serotonin high!   Godspeed, folks.

reddit with the yearly oxy-moron thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/akoj7e/avatar_the_highest_grossing_film_of_all_time/

God, I remember when this thread first popped up. Its such an incredibly stupid sentiment and shows how limited reddits (and of large parts of the internet in general) view on culture actually is. Whats so aggravating about reddit to me is that the people there so happily cultivate their incorrect assumptions like its some sort of badge of honor.

Remember reading an interview from marxist Inaritu about the purity of art and how wanting your movie to be as succesful as possible was a horrible idea.

Hope this Rolex ad passed his purity test.

I really wonder sometimes if these people are self-aware or not.

Probably not.

 

I agree with Inaritu tho, the very idea that peasants would be able to own a Rolex is appalling, pure art is for elite people.

Buy a Swatch.

Before the sequels finally come out I guess continuously talking about how it's culturally irrelevant is part of Avatar's legacy and "relevancy". The other day someone on reset-era commented on the fact that Avatar is the most continuously discussed movie last year save TLJ, but Avatar came out almost 10 years ago. 

It's really hard for people to get it, but if a film is truly irrelevant, people don't actually tend to talk about it...

Cuaron or Del Toro anyday for me, I really dislike that guy...

Except that starring in a Rolex ad has nothing to do with artistic purity, its not affecting his art if he makes money by starring in this ad.

It's painful to read such an illogical statement and people not see the blatant logical fallacy. I sometimes despair for the future, but then breathe a sigh of relief that I managed to escape and won't be one of the poor folk who are going to have to deal with all of this mess.

Landau mentioned last night that they've shot footage for A2/A3 and 'further on' which I found very interesting. 

Maybe did all the underwater scenes while they had the tank or something

Is the Flight of Passage the greatest trailer of all time?

It's running pretty much every day since may 27th 2017.

 

Could be close to a 100m unique views of the greatest trailer ever.

Is that one of those daft "rides" where your seat moves and you watch a video?

I remember going on a star wars one at Disneyland maybe idk 10 years ago and it was shite.

I think it's come on a long way since then because people rate it really highly.

 

Looks funny because it's a recording of a 3D screen.

I did both Star Tours and Flight of Passage last March at DisneyWorld. In my opinion, Flight of Passage (easily) blows Star Tours out of the water. Its truly a spectacular ride, probably the best one at that theme park if you ask me.
