No, not the picture thing you change every so often for a laugh...(or not in my case :unsure: )...but the movie!!

Linky!

Even if the film itself turns out to be crappy; the production technique used in it is sure to change the film industry. The cameras used were specially developed to view things the way the human eyes does.

I think the visual effects grab my attention more than anything else!

You were disappointed that it wasn't a cartoon?

And you were further disappointed that the director was James Cameron?

Was that what you meant? That seemed rather unlikely.

I'm glad it's not a cartoon.

As a director I'd give James Cameron 3.5/5 - he's good, but not great.

Yeah I was glad it wasn't a cartoon. When it comes to action films though, I'd give Cameron 5/5. Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2. Three of the best action films of all time.

I agree, he's one of the best action directors going, and in purely in terms of that I'd rate higher than I gave him; however, I've rated him in comparison with other directors of all genres.

Are you talking about The Last Airbender, or Avatar? They're two different movies...

You guys think that because no one appreciates a good cartoon anymore. Everything fancy 3D live action computer graphics, but theres nothing better than a nicely animated cartoon movie (animated as in pen and paper not computer).

I thought the director was M. Night Shamala or whatever his name is.

Oh I see what you mean now, drawn animation rather than CGI. Would that work though? From what I've seen of the trailers it looks like quite a serious film. I worry that the computer generated characters look too unrealistic to be taken seriously. With drawn characters they'd look even less realistic.

I'm trying to think of a film that blends drawn animation with real footage, but the only one I can come up with is Roger Rabbit...

Fin, that's the director of The Last Airbender, not Avatar. You're talking about a different movie here. :fonz:
