Just purchased two tickets to see it Friday morning

How many times would this make?

10 in theaters.

Doesn't it get old after awhile? I mean you know pretty much everything that happens the first 2 or 3 times, what can someone possibly get out of another 7 or 8 showings?

 Every time I watch it I see something new and undiscovered to me. That is why Avatar has me hooked. Not because of the peaceful blue people, or Jake Scully becoming one of them. I love it because so much thought and research of our own planet produced such a wonderful imagination in mind of James Cameron.

and because you are smoking the good stuff....

2 times in the theater and a lot on BluRay heh

Wow, and I was told it was just a complete ripoff of Pocahontas. Go figure?

I cant wait for tomorrow

[Tick]

I cant wait for tomorrow

Seriously? Your 10 showing and you can't wait? I think you can wait. Don't scare me, Chino.

No I can not wait, there is 9 minutes I have never seen before. It might as well be my first time.

That's it? They rereleased the movie for nine additional minutes of footage?

[MetalManiac666]

Yep.

[Adami]

That's it? They rereleased the movie for nine additional minutes of footage?

Oh it's sooo gonna be worth it. I hear they also included a close up of a Pandora butterfly! There will also be about 3-4 minutes of Jake looking around a room wondering where he belongs.

I don't know about a butterfly, but we get to find out what these things are...




And we get to see the Na'vi take out one of those giant bulldozers.

I worry about you...

[Adami]

What what are? The random dinosaur looking things? Who cares what they are? They run around and hit things with their heads. Call them rock heads or something.

[orcus116]

Yeah they didn't seem like anything special. Hell the animal design looked like the creator woke up hungover, had 5 minutes to think of something and Cameron loved it.

Why are you guys busting him chops over the fact that he likes a movie a lot and wants to see it a bunch of times?  Just because none of you happen to share his interest doesn't give you the right to be jerks.

I'm just kidding him. I don't care if he see's it 80 times. I would start to fear that I live in the same state he does but...

You know, I was actually somewhat interested in the extra footage, hoping that it would be some deleted scenes from Earth or something interesting, but instead it's more of what the movie needed less of.

[Chino]

Well the extra footage in theaters is all outdoor CGI scenes. The next DVD release will have close to 40 minutes involving strictly humans. I think we will get to see Earth's state in one of the next two movies.

[MetalManiac666]

Love the new sig Chino (Orcus).

[orcus116]

That was all him but I approve.

[bosk1]

[Sigz]

  Oh man the gasmask makes it so much better too.

[Chino]

Thanks fellas!

[Chino]

Oh man the gasmask makes it so much better too.

Its actually called an exopack.

FUCK.

[Tick]

I just read online that there is in fact only 8 minutes of extra footage in the re release of Avatar. Perhaps next year they will add two or 3 more.

[zerogravityfat]

i'd much rather spend the money on resident evil 3d at the imax  than see 9 more minutes of the movie i already saw.

How many releases will there be?  Why isn't that 40 minutes being added to the new run, which is being billed as Avatar: Special Edition?

[bosk1]

Let me answer those questions with an illustration.

Because it supports a cynical, artistically bankrupt approach to film making which is slowly destroying mainstream film and taking opportunities away from more creative film makers?

[bosk1]

So blame the industry or Cameron.  If Chino is entertained by the movie and perfectly willing and eager to see it again, why bash him just because he enjoys something you don't?

From someone who loves good cinema -  I thought Avatar was a breath of fresh air and a highly enjoyable film.

And Cameron is extremely creative - what on earth are you talking about? He might not be a master script writer; but his vision is outstanding.

You should vent your anger towards the american superhero franchise of films, which in my opinion is total garbage. That's what i'd call killing cinema. Or these dumb-ass romantic comedies, or 3D Horror films that people are paying to see these days.
