Avatar (Pre-release speculation)

There needs to be a thread for PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE that doesn’t have 112 previous posts by people who HAVE NOT SEEN the movie.

What makes you think I would want people who didn’t like the movie to stay out of that new thread? If people see the movie and don’t like it, fine, they should post that, along with their reasons, in the thread for PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE. Their opinions will have a little more weight than opinions based on a 3-minute trailer and teabagger vomit.

Thank you, but I see that it’s already got posts from people who, sigh, haven’t seen the movie. Sheesh.

I’m not going to post there until I’ve seen the film, hopefully at midnight tonight.

No, I’ve never watched that show. But I’m not that opposed to it. I appreciate product placement as an artform. If they did it poorly in that episode then that’s an aesthetic critique, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with using your promo to create a topical episode.

I don’t even know what Bones is about though.

On noes!!! Someone asked a one sentence question about the type of 3D glasses used! That means they hate the movie and want it to fail and now it’s all hijacked. Crap, better start yet another thread!

Teabagger vomit?

Is it in 3D?

I’m not really such a bitch. When I wrote that, I was just afraid that the thread would quickly devolve into a discussion about 3D types, systems and philosophy, that’s all. It, at least the philosophy, sure took over the other thread for quite a while, and I had these visions in my head about what the thread could soon look like.

It looks like it didn’t though, so that’s good.

I have midnight tickets, whoo! I’m going to see The Blues Brothers first, it’s playing at Piper’s Alley and it’s the last night. I’ve never seen The Blues Brothers. Blue brothers, blue aliens, a blue night for me. :slight_smile:

mlees, ha!

Bones is about a forensic anthropologist who partners up with an FBI agent to solve crimes, essentially. It’s a little goofy science-wise, like all forensic/police shows, but it’s worth watching just to see how Emily Deschanel plays the character. And all the other characters are pretty fun too.

I actually thought the Avatar subplot in that episode was awesome. It reminded me a lot of how my friends and I would behave when we were super-excited about something. Except for the having-sex-in-a-tent-while-waiting-in-line part, alas.

Yeah the actual subplot was actually funny in parts and certainly in character. But the fact that it was a real movie and obviously an advertisement just about ruined my ability to enjoy it. It should have either been a fake movie, or it should have been more subtle.

Well, like all forensic/police shows set in present time where the workhorse lab equipment is a desktop holodeck.

I’m not sure why people say that about Bones. The holodeck is rarely used and when it is used, it’s more or less just an industrial version of The Sims. While something exactly like that probably doesn’t exist in the real world, something very similar to it could probably be whipped up real easy.

I’ve never seen Bones. Something like in this thread?

Since the movie’s opened I’m going to shut this down. Everybody is strongly reminded to keep the conversation civil in the current thread rather than throwing out personal jabs and barbs about fanboy-ism.
