Go back and read the twitters from the surprise premiere of the new Trek movie. They read identical. Fanboys are excited. Good I'm glad it looks good, even the naysayers are saying how good it looks, just not cumming all over the place for it.

4:02PM - Zoe says the "language was amazing." It was hard, like picking up French. "It was very interesting." It sounds like she can't exactly describe how hard it was to speak a lanaguage that doesn't exist and even learn to speak with an accent in English as well.

4:04PM - Dr. Paul Frommer (of USC) spent two years working on developing the language. They learned about various things to "de-humanize" themselves to become a part of the Na'vi culture, like simple things like saying yes and no.

That's just from a fake blog dressed as 'officialAvatar' @ twitter.

edit: which has later been confirmed to be true. August 21st.

Heh, so true, and Star Trek sucked. I never trust the opinions that come out of these exclusive screenings for fanboys. The atmosphere alone elevates everything.
 
p_barr: RT @russfischer: RT @jerslater: AVATAR looks like a Pixar movie. A really fucking cool, weird, dinosaury Pixar movie.

eruditechick: Environmental crisis? Wait, Avatar's gonna have a MESSAGE? A SciFi movie that comments on society and the projection of humanity? NOOOO.

One more thing regarding avatar - so much for the uncanny valley. #comicon

HitFixGregory: Sorry to be the naysayer, but I thought Avatar was pretty, but underwhelming.

gambuskahn: The artwork for the new Avatar movie looks alot like how I would make a Halo movie look like.

Yeah, wasn't SW Ep 1 shown at Lucas's ranch prior to the premiere and the reactions for the most part were "OMG! ALL OVER MY FACE" from all the fanboys.

Not just fanboys. Coppola and Spielburg.
 
Keep hope alive. I pray for the trailer to hit the web tonight.
Someone hold me.
 
thejonshow: The only negative thing I'm hearing is Pandora's world is a little "cartoony"... #avatar #sdcc

comiccon: RT @firstshowing Wow just saw 25 minutes of Avatar. It was phenomenal. This is truly groundbreaking it is unbelievably life-like holy shit!

MargedeB: rt @CoogI Just saw 24 minutes of James Cameron's Avatar and it is the most visually impressive material I have ever seen in my life. By far.
 
I'm still skeptical, these responses seem more level-headed that the rest, though I'm sure it looks damn good.



jerslater: AVATAR looks like a Pixar movie. A really fucking cool, weird, dinosaury Pixar movie.

russfischer: AVATAR: impressive po-cap, but earth-shattering? Not so far. Animation, faces look great...beyond that looks like great moving book cover.

rorymayhew: Just saw 25 minutes of Avatar! The most realistic CGI dicks and buttholes I've ever seen. It's going to be the best 3D porno ever! #comiccon :lol

devincf: AVATAR: the design of the Navi may be a stumbling block for me. They are very cartoony in design.

ThatPJ: After reading a bunch if tweets, I think it's nearly unanimous. James Cameron's Avatar is going to kick all sorts of ass in December.

popculturegeek: just saw 25 min of Avatar footage. WOW. the 3d, the color, the cgi that doesn't look cgi.

bradsboards: Just watched 25 minutes of #Avatar. Not sure what to think. Gonna have to let it sink in a bit.

firstshowing: The most interesting thing about Avatar is that it takes some time to get into it... But once you do it's as amazing as you've imagined.

Owsler: 3-D used correctly? As tool not gimmick? RT @devincf: AVATAR: the 3D is immersive, not showy. The world is very complex and detailed. #sdcc




And back to the fun stuff:

MargedeB: rt @CoogI Just saw 24 minutes of James Cameron's Avatar and it is the most visually impressive material I have ever seen in my life. By far.



WOAH. Is this for real??

ThatPJ: RT @erincmccarthy: avatar trailer will debut in all formats on august 21! show 14 min of footage in IMAX! #comiccon #avatar RT @snoochies

This feels like something they could do, take a cue from Dark Knight's marketing strategy
 
So everything sounds very promising so far.

Which probably means the fanboys are going to eat this film alive and spew hate.

I can't wait - that means I'll love it.
 
usaweekend: With Avatar, James Cameron wanted an action adventure with a conscience. The alien Na'avi represent our higher selves. #sdcc

rorymayhew: Saw 25 minutes of Avatar!! The most realistic CGI dicks and buttholes I've ever seen. This will be the best 3D porno ever!! #notatcomiccon :lol :lol

Darthpj: Just finished watching Avatar. Its not the last airbender. But it was pretty kool! :lol

Cameron believes that 'Avatar' is a spoonful of sugar with a message. Be nice to space flowers, yall #comiccon #avatar
 
Cameron says he's going to "take over as many iMax theaters" on August 21st to "let a global audience see 15 minutes of Avatar free!"

Wat.

Indeed. The reactions in this thread are so laughable. Crows are gonna go fucking extinct.

lol The fanboys decided months ago that no matter how the actual movie was they were going to love it.

JHoffman6: Breaking News: All IMAX theaters on Aug 21st can see 15 mins of Avatar free.

FREE

FREE

FREE

I'd much rather pay. Imax's are going to be flooded now. And though it's extremely cool to show the movie the way it should be shown.. if they don't release an actual trailer, nobody in the mainstream is going to know about this movie.
 
So how is this going to work? Are they shutting down the theatres and just showing the 15 minutes over and over? I'd much prefer that, I'm not going to line up for a preview.
