I couldn't attend Comiket myself, and looked everywhere for the dojinshi she made afterwards in stores, but didn't find it.

>>20186
>>20187
Japan liked Avatar?

>>21121

Apparently there's a 2hr 40min cap on Imax showings so they had to focus more on plot development than character development.

For those who have seen all the cut scenes: is the Uniltaron scene in there? The one where they shoot Jake up with that scorpion and he starts tripping?

>>21122
Well, more like one talented fangirl but its a start...

>>21121
They did not want to make a 5-6 hour movie?
Well there is always the book!
(Nice pic btw)

Why the fuck is Cameron making a sequel anyway?

I mean, it was a pretty self contained story. I really don't see how they could continue with it.
Whats next Titanic 2?

Hell, if all he wants is money he should just make Battle Angel already, or really anything else at this point.

>>21155
From what I heard, he's still trying to decide if he really wants to do Alita or not.

>>21131
I'm watching the deleted scenes right now, haven't seen that yet.

BUT.

Apparently Norm and Trudy start shacking up when they're staying in the Hallelujah Mountains, consequently Norm mellows out. I don't know whether to like this or not care. It's nice to see Rodriguez with her hair down anyway.

>>21131
Sage for double post.
Yes, his ritual for becoming a man involves ingesting a worm that feeds off of the home tree, and then being stung by some scorpion/centipede like creature. As Jake's body spasms his mind travels upward through the tree, as if he is seeing the neural network of the Na'vi. He then finds himself standing on a cliff, seeing Turok, and then he sees a vision of the forest decimated, burning and in ashes, as if the mining company already came through and won. He wakes up and emerges as part of the people.

>>21158
>still trying to decide if he really wants to do Alita or not.

MOTHERFUCKER.

>>21184
My feelings exactly. I'll have to ask my cousin if he said anything else on the subject, but I think he's still waffling because it's a fanboy project and might not do too well in theaters.

I'm watching the "Night before Avatar" thing in the live special features. It's so fucking bad, I think I'm going to have to watch Happy Harry's Avatar thing again just to remember what good animated Na'vi look like.

Back from stasis.

>>21324
HAHA! Its funny casue its true!
And thats why we love it!
Also New Life.

>>21330
I have to admit, seeing the normally svelte Na'vi suddenly with swollen bellies seemed *really* weird. I'm glad it was cut.

>>21304
Don't you have to buy a new TV for that?

>>21333
Yeah, that really needed more work, but I think they pulled it off.
But hey, prioretys.
Also offspring comformed for A2?

>>21348
Yes. What I can't believe is Panasonic sells plasma 3D TVs (no LCD or LED-lit LCDs).

Who would buy a plasma TV nowdays?

You know I have been thinking...
With all the "talk" about it being a ripoff, what will happen when other moviemakers start to rip Avatar off?
(Just like all other of James movies!)

>>21565
Well, I guess it depends on how they rip it off, or rather what aspect of the movie they imitate.

You certainly couldn't say a similar story was a rip off.

>>21571
Oh wait, I meant Knock off, not rip off. (Half of that time, I think...)
My bad! Take this as my way to say sorry.
http://www.mediafire.com/?cgzcjmijjzz#1

Have I FINNALY gotten my hands on the XL version.
I only found the dual Blu ray+DVD, maybe we sweds only got that one.
Also I feel its high time I show off the Avatar stuff I got during the year.

has there been any sequel news lately?

>>22249
Nope.

Just watched it the other day. It was way better than I expected.

The only problem I had is I felt they made the "villain" way too sympathetic and attractive. I was on his side for pretty much the whole movie. Also I kind of wish Weaver had a bigger role.

>>22295
Really? I thought he came off as too much of an atypical mustache twirling douche bad guy.

>>22333
Same here, though at least I could respect his tenacity (my nickname for him was "Sargent Killfuck"). It was the weasel-dicked corporate guy who really got on my nerves in terms of one-dimensional villainy.

Avatar, as a whole, is as subtle and intelligent as a brick to the face.

>>22333
I get what he is saying. For most of the movie Quaritch is just a guy doing an incredibly tough job as efficently as the circumstances allow. The guy does take care of the people under his command, and it's telling that he was about to honor his part of the deal with Jake. Even when he commanded the destruction of the Hometree, and came up as a callous asshole, he is still technically following orders, plus the whole situation is in big part Jake's fault. He did NOTHING of what he was sent to do, that is to establish a diplomatic solution, and instead spent all the time having fun with the natives.

>>22333
>>22337
>>22338
...I have a hunch, now it's only a hunch, that he was being sarcastic.

If you watch the extended version there are more scenes that actually put the corporate guy in a better light, leaving Quatrich to look like an overbearing asshole.

>>22338
Yeah, for a hero, Jake is a huge dumbass.

Better poster.

Execs had killed this?

Also the local tv-guild review of Avatar gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
"James Camerons megasuccé. Under det Oscarsbelönade utanpåverket - fantastisk cinematografi, makalösa visuella effekter - är det en skön traditionell matinéfilm, fast med extra alla."
Now I just need to find that bloody fish to tranlate it for you.

Also I like "Capturing avatar" better then the moive it self.
You should TOTALLY see it!

This beef is more with the RDA then the movie but...
WHY DID YOU NOT USE THIS! (I know its younger then the script, thank you)
LRADs must be even more effective if its true the Na'vi have better hearing then us.
Or more gas, we all saw how well that worked!

Dude has a point.

>>23782
This commentator sums up some of my feelings rather nicely.

>My problem with the movie had nothing to do with what it drew or did not draw inspiration from.
>My biggest problem was the lack of shades of gray. There was so much potential they could have had by making some Na'vi as bad as the military/corporation, and some of the military/corporation (not low ranking protagonists) as good as the Na'vi.

>How much better would the movie have been if the corporate CEO wasn't just a pint sized egomaniac, but conflicted the whole time. What if he felt that, no matter what, human interests should be first and humans presently were dying from lack of resources. But struggled with every decision?

>Or what if the military commander was a loving family man with a wife, children and grandchildren on Earth, but jaded by his time on Pandora where he watches his soldiers and friends dying every day while the Na'vi sit comfortably in isolation.

>What if, until this point, the Na'vi clans were involved in bloody wars for many things including territory and resource disputes (just like the real Native Americans). What if one of the clans was interested in modernizing and wanted to barter with the humans for technology and weapons?

>Too much potential was wasted on an ultimately pretty shallow plot. That doesn't mean I don't like the movie. It wasn't just pretty, it set visual milestones. And it inspired me to think about the world in deeper terms, even if it wasn't portrayed that way.

>>23784
Same here.
Cardboard characters kinda ruined the film for me.

>>23791

yea its a formulated thing, its what Hollywood does and its the problem that has started biting them in the ass for about the past 10-15 years Ferngully, Atlantis the Lost Empire (Fuck so many Similarities between this and Atlantis during the second and third acts its fucking horrible.. it almost gets beat for beat on tone but not quite) Dances with Wolves..fuck ton of Generic Solider Films..cept Soldier. 3D may be the shit at the moment but its not going to carry them unless they fix the creative sinkhole they have let themselves become. Pretty does good for box office but it doesn't give that many moments that people will be quoting from heart years from now.

News bump.
http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/05/26/avatar-2-the-james-cameron-sequel-finds-a-home/

>>26165

>2014

wat

>>26167

What? The tech has been developed, the production time for the sequel will be reduced drastically.

I want my fucking Alita movie, Cameron. Get on that.

>>26260
I'd rather have Cameron get back in form before he moves to Alita. I liked Avatar, but it had obvious shortcomings, which probably stem from Cameron being outside the moviemaking business for over a decade (and no, those documentaries don't count).

>>26256

That's my point. The tech is already developed. Why's it going to take 5 years for a sequel?

>>26272

Last I checked, we're in 2011. Which means it's only three years until the sequel. And those are normal production times.

As for the Alita movie. I don't think I want it to be done. Way too much butthurt will revolve around it.

Perhaps when and if Cameron's next movie gets better recieved.

>>26273

Avatar came out in 2009.

>>26273
Better received by who exactly?

I didn't even like Avatar that much, but a movie can't do so much cash and still be considered poorly received. Us geeks are a vocal minority. A very vocal, very minor minority.

>>26279

Well depends on how it ages six years is a bit of a gap with nothing in between to keep it fresh since it wasn't that different in theme and just looked good in 3D for some.

>>26276

So?

Most sequels get released past the three year mark.

>>26309

>Lord of the Rings
>2001, 2002, 2003

>The Matrix
>1999, 2003, 2003

>Harry Potter
>2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's taking Camerontime to get the sequels exactly how he wants them, but...really? Six years? He said the script for the whole trilogy is already done, so what's taking that long? I doubt it's conflicting schedules, who would tell James Cameron "I'm busy right now?"

Except Zaldana. She's got Star Trek, too. Hmm...

>>26311
I'm guessing a LOT of realistic and very expensive CG coupled with research and other design issues.
Pretty realism things take the longest time to make.

They have to wait for another "Evil White People" movie to come out so they can copy it.

>>26317
Well since this is going to be underwater he could just make it Abyss 2

There something I've always wondered.

Humans can't breathe the air in Pandora due a toxic impurity in the gas mix.

But how about the creatures from Pandora, would they be able to breathe the air in our home planet?

>>26404
Ah good question, I have been wondering that too.
Try and ask on http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_Wiki
They may know.

>>26404
I suspect it would be like mountain air for us. Breathable up to a point, but a bit thin for health.

Hey cool, Sideshow made a new Avatar statue, lets check the price maybe I can...

http://www.imdb.com/news/ni12193180/

>>26881
Yeah I dont think they care about that.
So is this ballsy or what in this day and age?
http://www.slashfilm.com/james-cameron-avatar-sequels-trilogy/

>>27033

What's with this article's author? It's not a trilogy if the only link between the movies are the characters. That's like saying Temple of Doom is the sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

>>27035

Technically, most people will refer to any set of three things as a "trilogy" but in fact, it only counts if the three works were planned and executed as one unit, only broken into parts for easy digestion. It's easy to see for movies; just figure out whether the producers believed the first movie would sell well enough to justify the expense of the other movies right away. if not, they are sequels of some flavor.

Star Wars was a hexalogy by design of Lucas, but technically a standalone movie, a bilogy, and then a prequel-trilogy.

The Matrix was also a standalone movie, and then a bilogy.

Lord of The Rings is an actual trilogy.

The Toy Story movies were all just sequels. Same for the Shrek movies. Same for the Terminator movies.

Harry Potter is a heptalogy (err... heptalogy and a half? I don't want to call Deathly Hallows parts 1/2 seperate movies) or whatever.

Whatever the hell Cameron is planning, it's basically a standalone movie (Avatar) and then a bilogy. The other two movies will make a fuckload of money even if they're each just three hours of catpeople masturbating while sitting in technicolor trees.

In fact, most "trilogies" follow this pattern. Once the brand is established, usually there's enough justification to order two more movies to round out the saga. People seem to like things to come in threes.

Fanart bump! As I said.
So I can "news bump" later...

Well 4 is my lucky nummber.

You know... I think Im as big of a fan this movie (series) as I am of Friendship is Magic.
Mening like it alot both for what it is but also for what is has done, but dont think its the greates thing in the world or will ever beat the top spots of TMNT and Transformers to namn a few.
And that I hover up all pic I want so that a can just say "oh you talking about that? Well let me post some pic instead for talking about becouse I dont have anything to say do to assburgers clogging ma brain".
And yet I feel that I get less shit for liking ponys then this movie, is that weird?

And man is it hard to find (good) human/RDA based fanart.
More news next time.

>>28336
>And yet I feel that I get less shit for liking ponys then this movie, is that weird?
Not really. The characters in MLP have more depth and the morals are less forced.

OH SNAP

Ages ago, I saw a pretty awesome fanmade painted poster for Avatar, very oldschool looking, like those painted film posters that nobody makes anymore.

And guess what, IT SUCKS! (the comic that is.)

And the main reason is the alien design.
