Dammit, only got around to liking about 5 of Empire's post before running out.

 

Don't worry though Empire, from now on I'll be showering you in enough likes, mentions @EmpireCity, and quotes you'll soon drown.

Pretty much EVERY movie is a cash grab to some extent. Even Indie films.

What a stupid conversation for a forum like this lol.

Gotta throw some fuel on the fire. TFA is a great popcorn movie. It was fun and exciting. I saw it 3 times in theaters. But is nothing more than that. RO had better writing, direction, and visuals. It is a better work of art.

Avatar was a great theatrical experience.   At home the movie still looks great but I'm not as over the moon with the story.  I'll have to watch it again though probably haven't fully watched it in about six years 

 

Still love it at home on my 65 inch tv. As beautiful and emotional as ever.

Its nice to see AVATAR getting some love around here for a change.

I was about to lock this but I just realized the Grand Tele is on so he has the control.

 

 

And in the middle of all of this mess, I still haven't watched Rogue One, nor have plans to do it in an immediate future.

You have to be naive if you think they don't shill the media.

 

'Working the refs' and 'buying the refs' are two entierly different things.  Even Lord Cameron might be known to do the former.  From time to time.

So you're just ceding this to Grand Moff Tele?

 

Way to choke on your lack of aspiration.

Great point, one I totally agree with. In fact, TFA and R1 have both, at least for my mind, lacked any of the creative force of the Lucas' era films.

Could not disagree more. The execution is nearly as weak as the story itself. 

 

It is amusing how posters with James Cameron names/avatars often talk about how weak and bad TFA's story/execution are(I wonder if it has something to do with its gross in the US?) whenever they're not derailing threads with James Cameron/Avatar talk when Avatar is more or less just an incredibly dumbed down version of Princess Mononoke.

That's true, while I don't have evidence I'm making assumptions based on the corruption in politics and companies shilling online reviews. I would be seriously surprised if some critics aren't paid for by Disney, no way to know though unfortunately.

Figured I needed to change my avatar to a stern, assertive voice of the Rebellion willing to do whatever is necessary to fight the enemy, in order to save the dream from the h8ers.

For a while the Avatar fans were soooooooooo annoying and hard to take and then a couple years ago it flipped and everyone thought it was so cool to trash it constantly. We gotta find a middle ground over the next 20 years before Jim gets to work on the sequel

There's no point in paying critics. It's a waste of money. All studios already use junketeers for the same effect. All studios.

Zero evidence. This is libel.
