Film New Avatar Trail—PANDORAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 3:58 PM
So I have a vague suspicion that those selling this film are trying to make it look just a teensy bit epic. This trailer is about as subtle as shouting "HOLY SHIT NEW JAMES CAMERON IT'S SO INSANE IT'S GONNA MAKE YOUR DICK EXPLODE ARE YOU READY HELL YES YOU'RE READY!!! PANDORAAAAAAAAH!!!!" (Which is a good thing, as far as I can tell; so far, the marketing department at Fox hasn't seemed to know what he hell to do with Avatar, but at least now they're trying to convey the sense that it's a Big Deal.)
Via AICN. (A site which also inspired the look of the Film section in this week's Halloween dress-up issue.)
Showing 1-7 of 7
"It's 'Dances with Wolves' meets...uh...well, it's pretty much 'Dances with Wolves.' But in space!"
[Generic sci-fi premise] meets [Vietnam War allegory]. Which is to say your average James Cameron flick.
If they were going to go with "random James Cameron movie that nobody ever watched", they should have gone with Piranha Part Two: The Spawning.... Instead of True Lies....
I mean. wtf. I'm not going into this thinking it'll be the next True Lies.
I think I just sneezed a little in my pants
Vasquez!!
Also, is anybody reminded somehow of Niven's "Integral Trees"?
I hope those blue panther people get it on. That could be hot....
