Honestly may have to check it out for that. Love seeing him pop up in things.

If they ever want to make a movie about an obese (but not morbidly so anymore), ugly, stupid loser of a failure straight dude, I better be on that call list. That’s the role I was born to play. 

That’s fair. It seemed to me that he was unhappy she got a watch and he got nothing, but that’s not necessarily a statement about her.

Sylvester McCoy is in this thing? Most excellent!

Yeah, I’m not sure what to say about the take of “this film started the trend of using bright, neon colors in childrens films”

Uh, “danger zone”, “I feel the need - the need for speed!”, homoerotic greased-up volleyball, “Talk to me, Goose”, “I WANT SOME BUTTS!”, “Your ego’s writing checks your butt can’t cash”, the GODDAMN F-14 MOTHERFUCKIN’ TOMCAT, a shitload of US Navy recruits, Hots Shots...

I don’t know how strong a part of the argument even that is, I didn’t even know that Disney had an Avatar themed park until a year or two ago when Jenny Nicholson did a video about it. According to her, they started building it to compete with Universal’s Harry Potter attraction, and then seemed to quickly lose…

I feel like the theme park is the strongest part of the argument, since it represents the only way that Avatar has remained present in our cultural awareness at all. On the other hand, I’m not sure the same has done much for Waterworld or Song of the South.

And his main bitch (if people actually do read his dailies) was that the direction was focused mainly on the movement of the cameras and the blocking.

I loved that column, and I will say this: I do think Avatar’s lasting reputation as “having no cultural impact” is a lot more cultural impact than many of those forgotbusters had.

This one will make money too, because it also will look great on the big screen.  Now the half-dozen they have lined up behind it?? Not holding by breath that the entire run is even completed.  Streaming, I guess.

You know what else was achingly sincere, possessed no ironic-distance humor, and was uncomfortably horny? The SW prequels

Yeah, I mean, Daniel Radcliffe went on to really stretch and improve, and now he’s one of our more interesting stars...but any accomplished actor at Rickman’s level would have seen this gig as daycare back then.

Now now, no need to nitpick.

Oh, cool, now we’re going to get all the hot take articles about how Avatar was so amazing and important and influential. Just great.

Lick my labia!

Hooray.  I didn’t read the article, but maybe my eyes caught it as I scanned down to the comments.

You’re basically making the same argument as everyone else. Avatar had a huge technological impact but not a big cultural one. That it advanced technical techniques that other artists used is not what people mean when they discuss cultural impact. They are talking about how the movie as an artistic vision; how the…

This whole article seems an overly desperate stretch over and around the weird hollowness of the first Avatar movie and its lack of resonance in pop culture despite its box office success. Titanic gets referenced far more in pop culture than Avatar, and it came out 25 years ago. Toys and other Avatar merchandise…
