More on Tsu'tey's last shadow. Be ready to baw.

JC writing a prequel novel. I still don't think he should abandon the video game front, but it is proving to be a lost endeavor...

>>7771

Dat pun is terrible.

Nice docs, though.

>>7774

>JC writing a prequel novel. I still don't think he should abandon the video game front, but it is proving to be a lost endeavor...

The game was severely flawed.

Oh, god... Stan ;_;

>>7775

I think the games were such...not good because of how distant Cameron was during its development. The Ubisoft crew basically followed him around on set and made the game based on what they observed, getting very little actual feedback from Cameron (I think he only did one interview with them?). He could do for video games what he just did for films if he kept at it, but at the same time, he's doing at least three films, two documentaries, and now writing a novel. So yeah.

Also, I'm curious about Jake's future now after remembering that the body he now inhabits still isn't technically his own - it's his brother's DNA mixed with that of a native. Ghosts in the shell possibly?

>>7777
I think its kinda weird that no one talks about the DS's game story. Sure it looks "kiddy" and the game is broken! But it is the only (as far as I know) game were you play as a na'vi not a human/avatar! Thats something...

>>7777

connection starts to break down since it really wasn't built for long term usage hence the needing to leave Pandora

>>7777

I doubt anything would happen.

>>7778

Judging from video, its more "video game-animu" than just "kiddy".

>>7781
Is that not what kiddy is these days? Also did you see at the end when he failed to do the swipe move? Hahaha! So broken...

The games were bad. Period.

>>7782
It's the other way around.

>>7778
The presentation of the DS story was cheesy.

  >>7785

Just for sure: the video of DS game:

>>7797
Bean?

... are they holding hands?

I got an idea to kip-bash this guy in to a Hammerhead Titanothere mutant!
But then I remmber that I:
1. Dont wont to ruin my Jab figur
2. Cant kip-bash...
Aw well... No big lose!

>>7771

This dude had nailed proportions well.

Someone is joking.

Done! Its not a ripoff but if you like sci-fi you shoude hear it! ITS GOOD!

dont has blu-ray :(

>Cameron said he hopes to do a sequel to “Avatar” but he wants to do it “cheaper and faster.”

I have some bad feelings about it...

>>7820

You'll need some special LCD glasses and compatible player (PS3)

>>7822

>cheaper and faster

I think that just means the technology is already developed, so they won't have to wait 14 years and spend $300million for sequels.

NINE FEET TALL?! JESUS CHRIST!

Well, the site itself is obviously fake, so the story probably is as well.

Yes, but the Logistics of it shocked me.

Fox says Blu-Ray 3D won't be coming in November...

>>7843
Eh, I still think the story and characterization where kinda weak.

>>7867

which is why I am fine only seeing it once. I mean it was pretty...very pretty but it diddn't feel...full I guess. I think if more of the earth city stuff had been left in then I could have felt more in depth with it.

(e)motion/performance capture - acting or not?

What say you, /tv/?

>>7876

hmmmm that is a good question...only if the Animators are included

Finally went and saw it! It was "epic" but not as "instressing" as District 9.
Still an awesome must see moive even without 3-D! (stupid local cinama without cool shit)
Also fav line in the movie:
Grace at the hometree meeting: Oh shit!

>>7901

>(stupid local cinama without cool shit)

I feel your pain.

>3-D
>cool
It's a shitty gimmick. Nothing more.

>>7906

So is color.

And sound.

And...and...

>>7912
Except they didn't die out like 3-D did.

>>7912

and all it takes is another Jaws 3D to kill it back to dead

Picture Neytiri's lifeless, broken, bloody body being cradled in Jakes arms, warm wet tears dripping from his face onto hers, while they are under the remnants of the tree of souls.

How does this make you feel?

>>7925
Aw... how sad...
...
So whos up round of ctf or something?

Also this: Cool mech with stupid weakpoint!
Makes a toy! Or so I heard...
Hope they fix that in A2.

>>7916>>7917

And?

>>7925

Feels bad.

>>7925
I too have some "sad end" ideas sprowting up, grown from the technicall questions about the avatar body.
Were they built to last a full na'vi life time?!

>>7935

>stupid weakpoint

It's important to note that the exosuits weren't built with combat as a priority.

  >>7944
No wounder they suck at it then!
Next to most other mechs that is...
So a I said, hope for upgrades!
Also I forgot too add great to the toy comment... AH WELL!

  >>7945
Might as well post part 2 ...

Uh, you do know there's an Avatar board, right?

ohhhh think how much one could have made off Avatar. Especially at the peak when people were worried about it flopping (short time span but that is the nature of futures)

映画「アバター2」の存在を明らかに話すジェームズ・キャメロン監督の、Beyond Words 2010という映画祭での独占映像です！

>>7771

I think that Avatar is an biopunk movie.

tsaheylu = cyberjacks

The prequel I want is the story how the fifth Toruk Makto came to be.
What is it you want to see?

>>8007

-First contact Na'vis with humans or their space probes etc.

-Incident in dr Grace's school.

"It all had began during The Long Night, with dim light on the sky..."

>The Long Night - period when Pandora is within Polyphem's shadow
>dim light - decelerating interstellar spaceship

>>8011

>>8013

From what game it is?

http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/archives/195724.asp

>>8019

Idea is Mass Effect 2. Don't know if we kill anyone probing

>>8042
Satanism is just a religion of selfishness.
If anything the film should just be considered pagan based.

>>8045

Druidism or is that too specific?

I want to see Avatar again in IMAX 3D.

thankfully, this 2nd viewing did not induce any more post-avatar depression

Is there actually a standard for calling a movie IMAX? I was not impressed by the one I went to see compared to digital 3D in the same cinema.

>>8046
It works well enough.

>>8080

The most funny thing is, that this movie is overtly agnostic. Eyva is just a sentient biological supercomputer, not goddamn God.

GRACE FUCKING CONFIRMED FOR SEQUEL

Hmm... Makes secnes, but I dont comeplity agree.
http://tersesystems.com/post/980008.jhtml

>>8179

>tl;dr - Eywa is God's sister

That sounds fucking awesome!

>>8179

Another pick:

Na'vi and Pandora had been created by ancient race that had simply given up technology, and created "paradise" in order to "return to the nature".

>>8186
Like I said! Protoculture/Xel'naga. But I see it more like they only made Eywa and then she did the rest on her own after they left. They may have made/worked on the na'vi as well to work as gurdiens or something.

Also NERD ALERT http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43440
But I read it so how is the bigger geek.

  Why have I not seen this here yet?

I'd hit it!

Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

The oscars are this weekend. How many will Avatar win?

>>8255

Nominated for nine, doubt it'll be a sweep. Whether it gets best picture or not, shitstorm will follow.

Not sure if this was posted already, or is old news.
http://chud.com/articles/articles/21969/1/PROJECT-880-THE-AVATAR-THAT-ALMOST-WAS/Page1.html
I think it sounds way cooler than the movie version of the story, it feels more human and less hollywood cliche.

>>8260

Indeed, but when Hollywood executives hear the phrase "innovative story" more times than not they run screaming from the room.

>>8260

Dude, do you really want to see "Avatar', where Josh/Jake Sully is teaching Na'vi kids to play baseball, and overall story is more pretentious...?

But still, it contains some cool ideas.

See by yourself: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/14294813/Avatar-Scriptment-by--James-Cameron%29

>>7837

>>8265
I liked that in the original script the floating mountains weren't just eye candy. Josh's success seemed based on more than just fate.

>>8267

I liked how Na'vi had used flying medusas and pheromones against humans.

On the other hand, final showdown with Quatrich was better in final movie.

>>8267

I don't think the Hallelujah Mountains weren't just eye candy in the movie...

>>8272

>I don't think the Hallelujah Mountains WERE just eye candy in the movie...

>On the other hand, final showdown with Quatrich was better in final movie.
Agreed! Run in to some viperwolfs as you flee like a bitch is not so macho is it...
>>8265
Yes and No!
