Avatar
Yesterday afternoon, we caught up with Avatar in 3D before the film goes off the theater. I thought it would be just the three of us, but the seats were almost filled up. I have to admit, Avatar was a visual-stimulating experience complemented with a solid story, something James Cameron has managed to pull off once again.
Holy smoke, the last time I was in the theater was December 2008.
I am more up to date than you: my last time was December 2009 and it wasn’t even in English LOL
Why do all James Cameron’s movies have to have a corny ending? Also, anyone with half a brain has gotta question the feasibility of the physics in the movie. A spaceship traveling intergalactically with just jet engines? Floating mountains w/o a magnetic field or absolutely any effect on gravity? Osprey? They didn’t even bother to explain what the hell that mineral would be used for on earth. (By its ugly look, I doubt Paris Hilton would wear it on her neck walking the red carpet). James Cameron has become the most over-rated director on planet earth. And to think with all that dough, he couldn’t hire a semi-competent screenwriter. Oh, may God have mercy on your soul if you like Titanic!
Cameron movies cater to the main faire of American appetites, namely high fructose corn syrup: a sweet high in all American dishes, even of the cinematic variety.
Unfortunately, I have no brain when walking into a fantasy movie. I don’t even try to make sense. I just want to enjoy the experience the moment I put on that plastic glasses. So yeah, you can call me brainless. :)
LOL! If our leader is brainless, what does that say about the rest of us followers?
To me the art of making make-believe movies is making them believable. Otherwise, it becomes plot manipulation, a cardinal sin in creative writing.
@Joseph: T1, T2 and The Abyss were legit film-making. Unfortunately, the man became a tyrant afterward and all of his projects turned to shit.
Isn’t it usually the case that intelligent people work for some brainless leaders?
At least we agree on T2.
bc intelligent people are rare
