![]() Besides, they must feel nudity sells tickets or else they wouldn't have nudity in their movies. which I think is silly since you help promote their movies. I have a friend who says the studios must hate people like you. tons of editorial content that supports the pictures and clips. The website has links to hundreds of stories we've done on the actresses, their bios. That's why we create a massive amount of editorial content. Does that create problems with the studios, like with rights issues?īefore I launched I went to an intellectual property attorney and basically asked, "How do I make sure we don't get sued or shut down?" She said the site had to be a review site: provide news, criticism and reviews and ensure the clips support the expertise. We don't run a porn site we're an R to NC-17 rated site. He said, "You're the first guy who didn't make me feel sleazy and dirty for being interested in nudity." That's the premise we started with. I launched in August of 1999, and a week later a guy sent me an email. They are two difference projects, and should not be confused.Your branding has a lighter, more playful vibe. Avatar: The Last Airbender was a very popular animated series, but is much more recent, and is indeed currently in production under the talented vision of Mr. Cameron 15 years ago, and only just came to fruition. This Avatar started as a story idea and title by Mr. What was learned on the Lord of the Rings trilogy was certainly brought to bear on Avatar.īut where's Ang? Wasn't M. Let's make sure to praise Peter Jackson's Weta for their part in this movie. Nothing after the credits, which are just one long string of names of the effects teams that worked on this movie. Just try not to leave more than once, lest you miss too many wicked awesome visuals.ĭo I need to sit through the credits? Any Easter eggs? ![]() Because the plot isn't so twisty-turny, you could probably duck out most anytime and pick up again pretty quickly when you get back. On the other hand, the movie is 2.5 hours long, and I totally understand needing to run out after downing that uber-gulp slushee. Everything is so beautiful that you don't want to miss a minute. The 3D just adds a depth and texture to the movie that makes it feel all the more real. James Cameron has shown us how the modern 3D technology should be used in movie making. You really, really should see this movie in 3D. How about the 3D? Am I going to get poked in the eye over and over again? And the Aliens aliens could easily find life a challenge on Pandora. Heck, you could say he's established a "Cameronverse" with movies like Aliens and Avatar, because the tech is so similar, the movies could exist in the same reality. The military tech kicks ass, in that perfect James Cameron/ Aliens way that we love. The animals are fantastic, and yet completely realistic. ![]() Half the characters in this movie are performance-captured creatures as good or better realized than Gollum. Avatar is the next iteration of that "OMG" moment. Remember how everyone was blown away by the Massive (name of the CGI software) combat sequences in Lord of the Rings? And how amazing Gollum was? Back then, everyone was talking about the Academy needing to tweak it's categories so the combination of actor and effects team could be co-rewarded for bringing a performance-captured character to life. _Alright, everyone's talking about the special effects. Like going to see a newly produced version of a Shakespeare play, you're going to see Avatar for the setting, the interpretation of the story, the characters and performances and most certainly for the visuals. But seeing Avatar isn't about being overwhelmed by an original plot (how many of those are there anymore, really?). One of the agressors goes to live with the other side, comes to understand them, may even fall in love with a native, and then aids them in their conflict. More "advanced" culture comes into conflict with a lesser, supposedly weaker culture. I hear it's just "Dances With Aliens," is this true? Though the gore/splatter quotient is pretty low, and the Na'vi (at least) have a very spiritual, respectful attitude towards killing animals. So you get animal-on-native violence, native-on-native violence, human mercenary-on-animal violence, human mercenary on Na'vi violence, and so on. The food chain is, if not top-heavy, at least in constant and quite active flux. ![]() And it rocks! Let me suggest an analogy: he Na'vi's world, Pandora (a lush tropical moon orbiting a Jupiter-like gas giant) is to the Amazon jungle as, say, Bane is to Robin. I'm not going to lie to you, Marge: this movie has a lot of violence.
