Kaltixi, Does anyone have information on the communication collars (for lack of a better word) used by the characters? I can't seem to find anything. :) Thanks. Continue reading

Slightpepper, I see you.
I completely understand your frame of mind in the original post - as well as the change to where you want to see it tomorrow. I've been wary of seeing it too many times, though I have seen it three times, because I've never experienced anything like Avatar. ..to that extent, Avatar is the first film that I've ever seen in theaters 3 times, and also the only film I've seen 3 times in 3 weeks. ...Naturally, due to my response, I want to make sure that the experience that was so incredible, wonderful, inspiring, and so forth the first few times would remain as such in the future. Upon viewing it the third time, I found the experience to be even more gripping, moving, inspiring, and so forth. So now, like you, I can't wait to see it again - I'd go tomorrow if I could. :) ...but, with that in mind I'm not going to force the issue of seeing it again quickly, I'm going to do my best to be patient and allow myself time to really appreciate what I experienced and felt after the first three times.
I honestly think you'll love it again. :)
...and as Tawtaronyu says, it's "Definetely worth seeing at least twice."

Kaltixi here off and on for the evening dilemma - I want to see Avatar again so very much, but I'm worried that some of the emotion may well dissipate if I do, seeing it once was like actually experiencing their 'time and life', and we can't live again what we have already lived. Will seeing it t...

McSnuggles has it all sorted out. :P
Anyone got sequel ideas?
Anyone got sequel ideas?
It's possible that the Na'vi closer to the poles, if there are any, have developed thicker skin, or perhaps even fur. Though, given their love for life, biology, etc, they might prefer to avoid the often barren (in comparison to the forests, grasslands, etc) poles.

As a anthroplogy/history buff, I would love a comphrehensive ethnograhy of the different Na'vi clans throughout Pandora. Very interested to see if there are any clans living in the Polar regions.
Very well written post, thank you for sharing. It's great to read posts that tackle what some may see as issues of the film, and then debunk those possible issues by providing thought out and personally relevant (to the post-writter) evidence.
I see you.

1/8/2010 Well, my instincts don’t usually let me down but I have to say I was dead wrong about the movie Avatar before seeing it. I went in as completely prepared to be disappointed by the liberal overtones, the disrespect to the Marine Corps and America and struggled with whether to even see the...
I was tempted to not leave my seat ...ever.. I saw the film today, because I knew that there was another showing of Avatar coming right up. Sadly, I had no ticket and I had to go anyways. ...I'll just have to impatiently wait until next week to see it again.

Ok, I saw it for the second time tonight in Imax 3D and it is the coolest F-ing thing ever! I just want to go one day and see all the showings in that theater for the day without stopping!!! Real life is so boring! :)
Hmm I just voted 12 times.... :)

Hmm, come to think about it.. One larger story spread out, with one "substory" being covered in each film, does sound somewhat more appealing than a bunch of other separate stories. But... I'm sure that Cameron knows what he's doing.
what are you feelings on a self-contained sequel?

@ T. Katz,
That's a good point. Her emotions are very raw and real... I definitely cried a bit with her.
@ Derrek,
Haha, yea it turned out to be longer than I thought. I didn't notice the length until Nick pointed it out. But, I'm glad that you thought it was great. :) ..and you're definitely right about Neytiri - Ahh, what a woman she is!

Wow. ...simply... Wow. I just returned home from seeing Avatar for the third time, and I can tell you this: I NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN!! In response to that, I need to post a rather long blog to say all that's on my heart and mind. Normally speaking, I'd ask forgiveness for using so many caps in one ...
It's been said before, and I'll say it again: James Cameron knows how to make a sequel. ...Furthermore, clearly JC knows how to make an EPIC film. I think it's in his nature to put as much into his films as humanly possible. Although Titanic has its shortcomings in my opinion, it's still a well done and largely followed film (as is evident by its numbers). Terminator 2 was THE best of the franchise (the others had moments, but were pretty lacking overall, for me anyway). Aliens was THE best of the franchise (insert the same note as above).
Aside from that, I imagine that Cameron puts a great deal of himself into his work. Knowing the success that's he had in the past I'm sure that he's proud of what's he's done, and would like to be proud of his future endeavours. Obviously, when you've had success in the past, you want to deliver again. ...Delivering a total flop would not only hurt is image as a top-notch director, it would also probably hurt him personally. So, I suggest that Avatar 2 will blow the socks off everyone. :) ...and it may even be epic enough to topple the records that the current Avatar is going to make.
Cameron has my trust - I believe that he will deliver again.

Well, now that I know there is definitly going to be a second Avatar film im extremely excited. I just hope Cameron takes the same amount of care into making the sequel as he did its origin. Hopefully he wont spit another one out very quickly because they think because the firsdt was so good the ...
I see both sides of the coin here...
Having two sequels that are directly linked via a single storyline would leave more room to expand and explore the story, rather than condense it into one film's worth of time. And also, if that's the case, they may do a LOTR style approach and shoot both sequels at once, thereby allowing a quicker release of the third film.
On the other hand... having separate stories would allow for telling stories in a much more freeing way- a modular approach, in a sense. The issues of the second film would be mostly resolved, allowing for some closure, but leaving room for questions and expansion.
Personally, I don't care how they do it, as long as they stay true to what they've established in Avatar already. ...Plus, Neytiri needs to, and Jake should, survive through all the films related to this era of the Na'vi. :) ...of course if JC makes 3 or 4 sequels, there may come a time when we enter a new era of the Na'vi and Pandora, many years past the current film.. but even if that many sequels do come, I hope that Jake and Neytiri still have prominent roles.

I'm going to try and actually incorporate it into my life, whereby, I not only see people with my eyes, but I also acknowledge who they are.
Jeremy Taronyu Unilä, you're right. "Love" has a lot of different meanings... there were actually three (I think) words for "love" in Greek (or Latin, or another language, I can't recall) prior to English turning the word into an all in one type thing.
In the film Avatar Neytiri and Jake always sais "...
In the film Avatar Neytiri and Jake always sais " I SEE YOU " but what does it mean? they are saying I love you?
Thanks, Nick.
You made a great point about Jake's dream. That reminds me of when he says "I'm not much of a horse guy, but this... I was made for this".

what is everyone's favorite song on the soundtrack? I like either "you don't dream in cryo.." or "Jake's First Flight"
Also, thanks to Nick.. I forgot the flight scene. Haha.. Clearly I'm distracted and overwhelmed by the film's grand and epic scale....

Both of those are amazing. I also love "Climbing Up "Iknimaya" - The Path To Heaven" ... it has that sense of adventure and wonder that we all know and love about Avatar. ...and "Becoming One Of "The People" / Becoming One With Neytiri" is also very moving.
Ahh, the entire score and soundtrack are both amazing. :)
