    Don’t tell James but I saw the original Avatar as a grainy camrip with Russian subtitles and people walking in front of the screen

    I think this is the first time I’ve seen avatar mentioned in nearly a year. Weird how a movie series that popular generates so little discussion.

      I mean, a lot of people spent a lot of time discussing the first one, it just boiled down to

      “It’s sci-fi Dances With Wolves, and it made a load of money.”

      The sequel is the same thing, but with whales and even more explicit environmentalism/anti-colonialism

      All of the social criticism is correct, but, like, do something about it, billionaire filmmaker? The discussion time is over.

        “It’s sci-fi Dances With Wolves, and it made a load of money.”

        Sci-fi Pocahontas is more accurate, but yeah, there’s just not much to talk about beyond the effects.

      It’s because the movie is entirely about people of color (blue)

        I saw it in IMAX 3D when it came out because I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it at all at home. I was fighting sleep the entire last half, I kept waking up seeing something I thought was cool and trying to stay awake, but I still slept through most of the last ACT

    James Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron.
    James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron.

    I honestly cannot understand why you would want to watch something on a smart watch. i can just about understand a tablet because it’s relatively portable, but even a phone is too small!

      I think maybe because it’s a movie known for putting a lot of effort into high detail visuals so watching at low quality wastes the effort put into them? idk I didn’t watch it
