No soup for you.

I kinda get where you’re coming from, though while it’s been a while since I’ve read the author’s you’ve mentioned I don’t remember Avatar having the humor of Niven or Aldiss, or even Heinlein for that matter.

Man, I hate this clip so much. Mythbusters was a show about verifying rumours with experiments; they even made a point every episode of noting that a result is worthless unless it can be reproduced consistently.

3D looks good for the first 10 minutes, until my brain forgets it’s 3D and it just looks normal.

Ew, necrohydrophilia.

I’m a Disney shareholder and I assure you, I could care less.

You’ve only made it when you have videos complaining the new film is too woke and ruins the original. 

We’re talking about it now because Cameron hasn’t made a movie in 13 years and this has the potential to be the biggest boondoggle in cinematic history. Just the break even costs are fucking astronomical. Nobody would be talking about the first Avatar in the history of cinema’s cultural impact if not for Cameron’s…

I knew a rich girl who bought a new BMW every time it broke down so she got a new car every 2 years or so - turns out she never changed the oil because she said “BMWs are luxury cars, why should I have to change the oil? That’s why you get a Toyota.” We had this discussion while waiting for my Toyota Camry getting its…

I used to think Avatar didn’t work because of its generic plot. I don’t think that anymore, though. John Wick is equally generic, but it’s got enough style and personality to pull it off.

You know what they say. If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a blue dragon.

What next, people forget character’s name John but remember character’s name Glup Shitto ?

It was a failed fad because (script aside) everyone thought Avatar looked incredible in 3D, and then none of the filmmakers jumping on the bandwagon wanted to put in the effort and expense that it takes to make 3D look that good.

No, context is key. Here James Cameron is clearly suggesting Avatar had a cultural impact in that it fundamentally altered the way films tell stories.

I thought Avatar was just a really expensive Ferngully remake. 

This is the worst time for cinema in history. There’s no movie stars anymore, it's just Avatar this and Avatar that. 

It’s especially impressive that no one can remember the main character’s name since it’s spoken about every ten seconds, mostly with weird accents.

By that logic Zack Snyder is the greatest filmmaker to have ever been born.

I wonder if it’s also that for “average” users these big trucks/ SUVs are barely running at idle 90% of the time because they are designed to haul a 7000lb trailer not two car seats and venti skim latte.
