I still haven't seen Avatar nor do I have a strong desire to see it.

Word on the street is that the bluray is the best looking one ever made.
I too have not seen it. Will wait for the extended version coming out later this year before I buy it.

Eh, Avatar was okay. As long as you are willing to turn off your brain (or at least put it into tolerate-really-stupid-stereotypes-that-liberals-believe-are-true mode), it's not a bad movie.
Kinda pretty to look at.

I heard pretty much everything except the visuals sucked. & it's about an hour or more too long.

Avatars 2, 3, and 4 start shooting next year.
Avatar was a pretty movie, but the story sucked balls. Cameron better have more up his sleeve than rehashing the same plot 3 more times (and the first one was already a rehash...).
With Swartzenegger being cast as the bad guy general, I have a feeling all the films are going to be the same old "the military is bad" bullshit. What's worse is that their visual appeal will be old hat too.

If I'm ever the xenobiologist on an interstellar voyage of discovery, I'm naming the first important-looking bird-like animal we come across a MacGuffin. Just because.

Ugh. I hope these are actually good movies and not derivative dreck, again. Ordinarily that would be ok, not everything needs to be perfect, but so many goddam people were having orgasms over the first movie that it came to my attention that it isn't actually all that.

Aside from Fantastic Four, I'm not sure I've rooted so much for a film to bomb.
I know Disney will be behind this film because they're turning part of their Animal Kingdom park into an Avatar themed area.

When I saw this I just could not decide which Avatar (Cameron or Shyamalan) I wanted to see a sequel to least. It hurt to think about.

QUOTE When I saw this I just could not decide which Avatar (Cameron or Shyamalan) I wanted to see a sequel to least.  It hurt to think about. Cameron.  That's not even a contest. M. Night on M. Night QUOTE They’ve never got me, and it’s getting worse. It’s almost like, go away. I also think I’m getting more, you know, influenced by other cultures more, as you could see from the movie. So I’m not doing like a straight-up American movie anymore. The tonalities are changing. I always had a European sensibility to my movies. The pacing is always a little bit off for them, and it feels a little stilted, and they need more electricity and all that stuff.
And I’m like, this is the way I think of things. ‘Cause, you know, Hitchcock and Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick, these are my teachers. So it could be a little bit of that, that there’s just a little bit of cultural difference. Just like on this movie, I’m very used to getting on a plane from the U.S., having been savaged by them, and then going to, like in this case, I went to Japan next, and then they’re like, “Genius!â€
You can lose your mind a little bit, going on Saturday from being an idiot to Sunday being a genius. But it gives you perspective. But luckily for me, it’s not something I can fight. It’s not my fight to fight. I’m defenseless, it’s the audience, if they choose to fight for me, then they fight for me. And they have through my career, and I’m honored to have that relationship with them. And I’ll keep fighting for that relationship. And maybe, 20 years from now, I’ll get a good review, I’ll sit here together, and be like, “I got a good review! Woohoo!â€

Sixth Sense was good.
Unbreakable was good.
I honestly didn't mind The Village and think people were way too harsh, especially when you consider it to simply be a movie about parenting. How many people are moving elves around their house this month yet thought hiding the truth from kids in The Village was unrealistic?
Signs was dumb.
The one with Walberg was dumb too.
I haven't seen any of his other films.
