Avatar OMG!!

Hey all she wears in Avatar is body paint. That's not a bad thing. You should have seen her little black dress last night. The only bad thing was the mic transmitter protruding precariously from the back of the strapless dress, but there's really no other way of doing it and I'm, how you say, picking nits.
 
Ok....

Here's one more:

Thank You CG, a size zero dress never looked better.

Can you tell she was trained as a classic ballet dancer?
 
the trailers do look great, and it would be even cooler looking in 3d, but i can't see it making $500m don't think any of the starwars movies made that at the box office.
 
soooooooo looking forward to it! anyone else notice all these movies are looking more and more like videogames coming to life?? or is it videogames are looking more and more like movies?? ok, i may be a nerd, but i have boobs...so don't judge me.

There is a kernel of wisdom there so, OK!

I have no doubt that there will be a video in the works. It's a natural fit.
 
....that dollar values stated for 'making' a film can be very deceiving in that an incredible amount in excess of 80% of the money spent is on advertising and marketing. This film may make that value change a bit because of its major investment in leading edge technology, but not by much.

The first negative against Avatar is no one gives a shit saying "Avatar" in everyday conversations, unlike saying "Star Wars" and "I wanna fuck Princess Leah". At $500M (which was the cost of making the film, a chunk by use of stock investing based on high risk, none towards advertising and marketing), it's a SUPER RISK. "Titanic" worked because of the love story and everyone knew, already, what the "Titanic" was. I don't see either in this before the release.

Pumping action figures for something no one knows, in a serious recession too. India will hate it, the characters are blue looking like Hindus, rather than that blue nude babe in X-Men.

I can think of another BIG failure that had everything going for it, "Speed Racer"........boy did that tank. I'll keep a watch on the numbers, however. But, even if it the final total is $390 Million USD (like the latest Star Trek which made money), it loses money.

Gyaos Baltar.
 
I'm hearing 3D is the way to see it. I'm not big fan of 3D to date but this may be the time to try it

The director isn't the only Can Con.; Maya, Ubisoft, SoftImage and Sheridan College all get credits and Kudos. They say that 60% of the film is CGI, Computer Generated Imaging.
 
I saw a segment on "Fast Money" Thursday where this analyst upgraded the stock of the parent company that made the film from sell to buy after seeing it. He said the experience was really different and the 3D is the best ever...especially for not being a cartoon. Best seen in I-Max. Some theaters are sold out.
