I can understand being interested, intrigued, or even somewhat fascinated with avatar ... but I can't understand it being #1 most anticipated.

Just my opinion, of course.

Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:23
The last James Cameron movie made 1.8billion dollars and was a technical masterpiece in my mind. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:22 15
- And the first one was Piranha 2: The Spawning -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 11:34 1
  - *Spawn tested and Spawn Approved!* -- nm - Jimmy Spawn! Dec 2, 11:37
- See, I'm jaded. I look at Cameron, and I see the same ego issues as Speilberg; they cloud the storytelling and ruin the attempts, IMO. - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:25 1
  - It was awful. Almost unwatchable. - Cuzzin Todd Dec 2, 11:36
- But he also made Strange Days. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:24 10
  - bzzzt. wrong. He wrote it. but did not direct it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 2, 11:31 4
    - it's james cameron. Even if there was a regular director attached, I'm sure he had some involvement. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:32 3
      - I'd agree with that. But wasn't that Kathryn Bigelow who directed that? she doesn't take much crap. -- nm - Remlik Dec 2, 11:34 1
        
        I wonder if there was a behind the scenes documentary shot during filming? :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:36
      - More likely, if he wasn't director that left more room for clueless studio execs to louse up the production -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:34
  - That might be the least favorite of his for me and I'll gladly stack it next ot Aliens, Abyss, Terminator, T2 and Titanic. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:28
  - I'm confused - why are you continuing to list positives? -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 11:26
  - Wait a minute...is that the Ralph Fiennes/Angela Bassett flick? - Jim Dec 2, 11:25 2
    - yes - produced & cowrote the screenplay -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:28
    - Ugh. It was okay while I was watching it, but then I was like, WTF? -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:28
It's not like there's much else coming out this month. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 2, 11:22
I'm not sure what my most anticipated movie is, but I can easily understand someone highly anticipating the next James Cameron movie. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 11:21 2

- ding -- nm - Jovian Dec 2, 11:23
until you look at all the other movies being released these holidays - Roger More Dec 2, 11:21 5
- *ding* -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:22
- honestly, I'm more looking forward to "Up in the Air" than Avatar, and I plan to watch that one on DVD -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:22 3
  - I'm not even remotely interested in Up In the Air. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 11:24
  - I'd agree, but of the movies coming out, Avatar looks like a "must see" on the big screen if you're gonna see it. - Cuzzin Todd Dec 2, 11:23 1
    - yep - I agree with this. I wasn't sold on Avatar until I saw the trailer in the theatre -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:24
I was not interested in Sherlock Holmes until I saw the trailer on the big screen. Now, very interested. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:21 8
- The more marketing I see for this one... - Cuzzin Todd Dec 2, 11:24 1
  - You are dumb. -- nm - Chasing Amy Dec 2, 11:38
- I only realized the other day that it's a Guy Ritchie movie. My anticipation increased significantly. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:21 5
  - It is? Interesting... -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:27
  - Hence part of Amy's excitment. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:25
  - I had forgotten this very important fact until just now. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:22 1
    - Same here. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 11:23
  - I'm not particularly a fan, but it definitely seems like his sensibilities are a good match for the material here. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:22
Latent Smurf adoration being revived and rechannelled. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:20
Avatar is my #1 most anticipated video game of the year. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:20 1
- I can't even understand *that*. (heheh) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:20
Word. -- nm - Jim Dec 2, 11:19
