fuck trailers. bring on the film!

While it may not flop Speed Racer style, I'll be surprised if it even puts up Funny People numbers.

and u forget the most important thing of all.its Camerons first movie after 10+ years,since he made Titanic.that alone is going to make it to the big news when the time for the movies premiere will come.

As far as news before its release sure yeah then the stories will appear about it. But movies are starting to live and die based on Comic Con buzz and it didn't create a huge amount of buzz. I'm just guessing that it will flop, and it won't even really flop but I'm guessing huge second weekend drop offs 60% or more.

The Terminator

Aliens

The Abyss

Terminator 2

True Lies

and the world's biggest smash hit TITANIC, comes the next step in TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION:

A V A T A R. Nothing else matters.

I think they are desperate to generate some hype. They thought the fans salivating in eager anticipation would be enough to get the buzz going, but they've waited too long. The fanboy geeks, annoyed by all the secrecy are beginning to turn aganst the movie. See this site..

By now the bosses must have realized that, after all, it's just a movie they have there, not the second coming of Christ. And a darn expensive movie. And a movie they've been keeping so close to the chest the general public won't even notice when it opens.

And the media... they'll cary the news around the globe: "The IMAX 3D is such a spectacular spectacle." And "immersive" will be the word of the day, to which Joe the plumber is going to say: "I ani't got no IMAX next door, so why even bother?"

AVATAR IS GOING TO SUCK MEYE BALLS!

And James certainly has a track record to back my support until otherwise proven to be misguided.

I'm tickled pink that you want a drunk drive to hit me. Seriously. You're a hell of a sweet guy, and while I wish we were the best of friends, instead I'll tell you to kindly fuck off and stick that thing that's on top of your shoulders and shove it up The Bates' ass, you drippy little whore.

Thanks.

And there is original shit being made right now....and no one is watching it. I saw the Collector last night and there were only 2 other people in the theater and that movie was pretty awesome.

and now cameron, the man who made T1, T2, TRUE LIES, ALIENS, and that sinking boat movie who made tons of money, THE REAL DEAL at crafting truly awesome huge action set pieces, THE LEGIT BEST action director around, is coming back after a decade long hiatus, and all you do is... "wawawa who gives a shit about cameron, content matter more than director', '3d is a gimmick', 'no trailer is a buzz kill', 'none is talking about it'.

who the fuck are you guys??? are you a movie buff or are u a clueless moron? first of all, i've yet heard a negative comment from those who saw the 25 minutes footage. google the reaction from the amsterdam screening or the sdcc. just cause YOU dont read the overwhelmingly glowing reaction doesnt mean they dont exist. and 3d is as much a gimmick as sound and color were when they first introduced. it's all about making the unreal more real. 3d is only a gimmick when in the hand of lazy hacks. cameron's track record prove he always use the tech to support the story, never the other way around. and nobody cares whether you show your trailer early or not, whether it's cool or not... in the end all that matter, all that we judge is the movie itself. so, watch the film in the proper context FIRST before you talk. crapping on something you havent seen now, given the pedigree involved, just makes you look like a moron.

who gives a fuck about this piece of shit furry cartoon.

Worthington said the story was shit.

now, matrix came out that same year. poster looked bland and generic, trailer looked like another johnny mnemonic.

who ended up kicking the most asses that year? matrix came out of nowhere and stole the spotlight from under lucas's beard! learn your lesson... judge the film, never the marketing hype.

I dont have problem with this,i am too fascinated with the universe that lies beneath the oceans,but still if he is going to base an alien world entirely on our terran aquatic world,then how is it going this world to look so much alien,so much foreign to our senses and our perception.

as someone said above,3D is just one more tool to make the unreal look more real.but whats the point then,if the unreal doest look so much unreal from the start?

i hope i am wrong with this.

cameron is a huge space geek. i'm 100% certain his playing at the sea for the last decade is the extension of that space fantasy. it's all about exploring new worlds for him. merged with his imagination, who knows what his deep sea travels could bring forth? and unless you have seen the film, or at least the 25 minutes footage, how would you know if "the unreal doesnt look unreal from the start"? tell me you're not judging it from the one image of the na'vi.

Asimov lives beating a dead horse.

PS - anytime somebody feels the need to preface a statement with "honestly" --

Honestly, I didn't know what was CGI and what wasn't.

-- You can bet that they are lying.
