I know I’m going to get shit for this, but eh, LFG.   We are a box office forum. We talk about Avatar excessively because it’s the biggest box office film of all time.  Most of the other places on The Internet TM do not. For the General Audience, this is a sequel to that cool movie from 12 years ago. To Nerd Culture, it’s the sequel to the movie they love to mock and meme. And James Cameron did most of his best work in the 1980’s, which is like asking Gen Z to marathon TCM. There isn’t

I know we're in the middle of Oscar Talk, but since I just caught up with the thread, I want to swing back to something that was discussed about an hour ago.       As a not quite charter member of Wait For Boxing Day To Really Say, but a strong subscriber to the newsletter, I understand this comment.   I really do.   At the same the world is a *LOT* different now than it was in 2009.   We've all listed the reasons, but one major thing that isn'

  • Judy is back.  “Don’t watch the blah blah blah” play with meeeee

  • I can’t imagine how this terrorist plot played in the 90s (but I can gather from the article Porthos posted). Now though, 😬😬😬😬😬😬
  • I can’t believe the same movie that had the 10/10 horse chase also has the 0/10 “gun falls down the stairs in slow mo” set piece.
  • How are they in the Florida Keys? How are they not noticed yet? I have so many logic questions. The keys aren’t that big. 
  • But it doesn’t matter cause we got our Smokey haze of helicopters coming in at magic hour. Fuck yeah, love the 80s!!
  • Wait don’t they have a live bomb? Why are we shooting at a live bomb?
  • Okay. That bridge sequence was money.
  • Mom must have been talking about the limo flight. Who doesn’t love the Maxim version of female empowerment?
  • I still hate him
  • WAIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MOVIE?
  • (also if you are going to do that, why is that not the END?)

 

  • This third act is so unnecessary 
  • why are we on the yellow thing?
  • I hope they all die
  • Why are we repeating the same gag?
  • No. Just no
  • I am kind of gagged. Bad FX shots in a Cameron movie. Are we sure he directed this?
  • I hope that Jamie Lee Curtis gets a divorce and her daughter into therapy!!!!!!
  • YESSS OKAY NEVERMIND GREAT ENDING. FEAR IS NOT AN OPTION!
  • You still are not giving me full body or feet. we are so close to feet. There they are!!!

THAT WAS GARBAGE!!!!! Painfully unfunny. Sexist crap. Second and third act baaaaaaad. The horse did not deserve to be such in such a mound of crap

I am going to bleach my eyes with ghost of the abyss. And then I need to figure out what to watch next.  I have Aliens, The Abyss, Avatar, and Piranha. I said I was not gonna watch Titanic, because I watched it last weekend. But I’m kind of tempted to be like fuck it. I’m gonna watch Titanic because it’s the best one!!!

Cap, i have two suggestions for you to wash away the bad feelings for True Lies. Two movies that can heel your shattered faith in movie quality. My suggestions are Jurassic Park or Jurassic World. Both movies are amazing.

The Abyss is great and underrated.


It’s my favorite Cameron picture.

 

Or at least tied with Titanic. (I am a Millennial Girl. Titanic is just Titanic, you know.)

 

It’s why I’m saving it for last. Because I want to end on a good note.

Terminator 2 has probably my favourite ever opening credits sequence ever:

 

 

The combination of the music + the visuals is pure art.

Is this the one of the best scenes in cinema history, or the best scene in cinema history?

Spoiler

I mean, it’s pretty amazing, but we know the real answer. 🥺
