Ahh the old “I was joking the whole time and you guys didn’t get it”. It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it lays off.

Also, for what it's worth a lot of the most pretentious film people I know all loved Avatar more than me.

EDIT: Although one of them hated Pearl so their taste may be sus.

I don't know how it's possible to hate pearl if you are a fan of the genre, or acting. does not compute

Avatar was good on the whole as a one-time experience on the big screen, but I have no desire to re-watch

I've had desire to re-watch plenty of 3 hour length films

Now past $1.9B. #6 all time in worldwide box office. Should hit $2B on Sunday and I think will be 2nd fastest ever to hit $2B.

This is old, but inflation adjusted WoW had a long way to go.

That's fine and all, but what I really want to know is how many times afc wimbledon has seen it.

Should have probably been 15 or 20 minutes shorter (but shortening or removing some scenes), but other than that it's an excellent film. I feel sorry for those who can't enjoy this kind of movie.

Most beautiful movie I've ever seen and I'm quite the snob. I don't even like the blue people concept but I can see James Cameron's passion for the ocean so deeply in this film.

All the people making negative reaction videos just can't sit back and realize this movie is basically taking a rollercoaster through a BBC Earth film.
