    Maybe it's just me, but I hope Avatar fails miserably. Like under 50 million in tickets for its total run.

      That's too kind.

      Well, considering I still don't know what the * I'm watching in the trailers.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          I was less than pleased when watching Bones the other night. I swear that half the episode was just a giant ad for Avatar.

            It's not just you. I'd hoped these POS were done when George Lucas was shipped to Taiwan in an airtight crate.

              It will change movies forever by removing actors from therm. Imagine the suck that would be if James Cameron and Michael Bay made a movie together. An entire movie with no actors, no dialoge, no plot...nothing but CG and EXPLOSIONS!!!!!11!1!11!!11

                          I take it The Departed didn't have quite enough computer effects to be used as your example?

                          Out of curiosity, do you plan to see the hype machine that is Avatar?

                          You aren't familiar with how Kepler doesn't like The Dark Knight and The Departed, and often uses them as his punchline in situations like this?

                            Of course. It's one of the requirements for voting, I hear.

                            The Departed didn't have no acting/direction, it had bad acting/direction, so it's not covered by the current discussion.

                            (2012 was a much better example of phenomenal fx and non-existent everything else than Dark Knight, but you can't spoil adolescent fanboys' naptime by dissing 2012.)

                              We watched Taken last night. It was a bit implausible at times, and seemed to have some gaps, but it was not bad for an action movie.

                                Spent 15 of the last 36 hours watching Season 3 of Mad Men. All in all a very weak season, until the final episode, which was outstanding and really makes me look forward to Season 4.
