Is it? I remember at least the first 50% of their endless coverage being about how cultutally forgettable Avatar is and that it’d be snarky good fun for the sequel to bomb.

This isn’t news a LOT of actors don’t watch their own performances.

I remember seeing this in school around 8th grade. All I remember is some nipple, and I don’t recall it being a big deal to literally anyone in the class. We all had nipples at the time.

He’s doing press for his new movie, my dude. Of course he’s going to do interviews.

I haven’t seen the movie yet, and know next to nothing about the era, so I wouldn’t be able to pull out inconsistencies or errors anyway. But the fact that Chazelle did a lot of research and the finished product not matching the facts directly are not mutually exclusive. I didn’t get the impression from the trailer…

Counterpoint: No, no they didn’t.

Apparently not enough to stop you from reading them (and commenting!).

Everyone talks about Anti Aging serum. But nobody ever mentions Aunty Aging, which would fix you at the age of your favorite aunt. (You could relate to her at a whole new level, and have boozy brunches together.)

Let’s not forget the most important thing, Jake Sully is a Feliz Na’vi Dad

That’s a pretty severe allegation to make. Also totally unnecessary, given this content is basically rage-bait that likely gooses some engagement metric.

I’ve noticed there is a certain kind of internet person that is probably over-represented in the comments here. I guess you could just call it a negativity bias. Over the last decade people who didn’t like the first Avatar had all those feelings justified and fed off of by other internet people who shared those…

“white savour-y”

“Pretend”? Citizen Kane might not be a film you enjoy, and I don’t have much use for the “best film ever made” debate, but there’s no question that it was an absolutely groundbreaking film. It still feels like a modern film in a lot of ways, which saying a lot about a film that’s over 80 years old.

I thought the episode was much better than the previous week (which was rather disappointing). However, I agree with you about the vibe on Weekend Update. I find it odd that Strong came back late in the season and left before Christmas for a total of 6 episodes. However, it’s time for others on the show to take center…

I don’t see how Neteyam is the oldest and Lo’ak is younger, unless the Na’vi age backwards like Benjamin Button. Unless for some weird reason you used a picture of a young Neteyam which would be needlessly confusing.

Yeah, this episode was dull as hell, which was quite a feat with those two for hosts. Agree on Brandi Carlile. I had started dozing off and remember waking up legit thinking “what is that lovely sound,” and she was singing.

When it was announced that they were spending $1.5 billion on a bunch of Avatar sequels, I, like a lot of people, chuckled, thought, “well, that seems like a miscalculation,” made a few jokes, and went on with my day. But the number of people who seem weirdly, personally invested in its failure have become far more…

That app values the opposite of what I do in a film.
“Go pee now! It’s just boring dialog in which two people express emotions and grow as characters.”
“Don’t go during this scene! You don’t want to miss a second of the CGI cartoons shooting beams of light at each other for 20 minutes!”

They all came out in 2022. They are contemporaries.

I think my favorite Nolan movie is the one where there are barely any non-white actors and the women only exist as plot points for the men.
