Okay, we got this potentially cinema changing event to look forward to this year (you can do Jim!) but is everyone looking forward to it as much as me? Did anyone read the scriptment before it was taken off line?

Add CommentI do like the fact that we haven't seen anything though - I might even try and go into this one blind just catching the trailers when they show up at the cinema, apparantly, according to Total Film, Monsters & Aliens might have the first trailer!
I think Cameron has proved what many directors try to prove, that he can direct almost any kind of movie and it kick ass!
I keep my standards low, that way im never dissapointed
Cameron doesn't do anything halfway. He's proved himself to be a capable storyteller, shrewd editor, and prolific director. Even if Avatar fails in any one area, it will still be a success.
Cameron's managed to keep most of the details under wraps. I hope the inevitable mega-huge marketing campaign manages to keep some of they mystery intact.

It's too bad they can't just sell this as "James Cameron's new movie" without showing anything.

I imagine that's exactly how they will be teasing it up until the first full-length trailer is released.
Expect the first full-length trailer to be a series of about one hundred flash cuts of increasingly shorter length, with the narrator using phrases like "From the visionary director of . . . " and telling you that Avatar is something the likes of which you've never seen. Expect astonished human faces looking at something off screen to be among those jump cuts.
Expect the movie, itself, to be relatively entertaining and not quite as mind blowing as you've been led to believe it will be.
I don't really expect it to be mind blowing. I just hope that it ends up being good.

I believe Harry AICNowles is of the opinion that Avatar will be violating our eyes with its penis, come December.
That's not exactly how he put it, but it's close enough.

It's damned near mythological.
That's what would have been said if the mckracken had been dragged out of the Hudson.
Like that plane.
I suppose Medusa's head should still be involved somehow.
I can see the Avatar trailer now....
"From the Director of Pirahna 2 - The Spawning......."
....says "Kill Bond, NOW!"
Don't knock it Haywood..... I have it on DVD !
Now if somebody can find me Killer Fish, starring Lee Majors, Margeux Hemingway and Karen Black then my "Fish that Eat People" DVD collection will finally be complete.
....says "Kill Bond, NOW!"
I take it "fish" in this instance doesn't include sharks?

Nope, it includes sharks. Can you think of any other reason to actually own "Deep Blue Sea" on DVD ???
....says "Kill Bond, NOW!"
Does it include whales, since they are not fish? If it does, I'm guessing you own Orca.
If you own Orca, that makes you one of a proud group of about eighty folks.
How about Sea Bass?

I do own Orca too !!! Hey, if a film features a killer whale aborting it's foetus, and Richard Harris turning the hose on it, then I am there !
Aquatic animals attacking people is a strange sub-genre, but I can't help it !
About these sea bass, do they have laser beams on their heads ?
....says "Kill Bond, NOW!"
No they don't. But they're mutated, and absolutely ill-tempered.

I'm definitely curious about Avatar. That's mostly because James Cameron hasn't done a sci-fi movie in a long time, and the fact that we have seen *very* little from the movie so far has me wondering how he has kept this thing under wraps for so long.
