[Movie] Avatar (2009) - BZ wants your nub

I know Unobtanium has been used in other movies as well. I think the machine they used in The Core was supposed to have been made out of it.

(I'm actually surprised Bender wasn't made out of Unobtainum at some point.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was surprised how little the 3d bothered me even though I've got cokebottle glasses. Generally 3d stuff gives me a pretty bad headache.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

These days visuals > story. Oh well.

Well, considering that film is a visual medium, it's not surprising that one of the most visually impressive movies winds up being one of the biggest films of the year.

It's kind of like complaining when a song has dumb lyrics. Yeah, sure, good lyrics can certainly help a song, and some great ones can be made just by being very poetic, but there's still a place for shit like Bang the Drum.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, it being visual is what sets it apart from radio.

Also, is anyone actually saying that Avatar is a pinnacle of film as art? I'll I've heard people say is it's a pretty good popcorn flick that's entertaining for your $10 (or $15 if you're doing the 3D thing). At least it does what it does well, as opposed to, say, 2012.

Why is liking a movie for one reason better than another?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I imagine IMAX 3D would be about 10%, though now I'm a bit annoyed I paid about that for 3D in a normal theater.

I was speaking idiomatically.
