If anyone has free time and likes doing tech shit...I'd love an avatar made out of that gif of Vazquez swinging her Smart Gun around like that.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Digital Domain didn't exist when The Abyss and T2 were made.Littleberu said:
Most of the visual effects in The Abyss were done by Dream Quest Images, but some key shots... the ones people really remember, were done by ILM.
T2 was mostly ILM and 4Ward.
Titanic was mostly Digital Domain. ILM was only brought on at the last minute so that the movie could make its release date. ILM has gotten a lot of "911" calls because they can usually ramp up and match (or exceed) other studio's work on short notice. Another example of that, one that's also a Dreamquest/ILM project, like the Abyss, is Deep Rising. ILM came on and did a bunch of character animation on that on some crazy deadline, like three weeks or something.

So does TAJ work for ILM or what?

Two spy photos from the Comic-Con screening just leaked.

KEEP THEM IN LINK FORM AND DO NOT RE-POST THEM AS THERE ARE PEOPLE AVOIDING ALL SPOILERS.
I understand that they don't show much, just respect that others want to go into this film completely blank.

Amazing camera work, the angle combined with the contrast of darkness and colors is pretty impressive and just the right amount of blur.
Cameron should hire this person. The sneak photographer only shows images of people in the movie being amazed from looking at something off-screen.
Wow. Okay Sculli, you win. All my doubts are gone now. Just looking at those two photos are enough to make me a believer. The realism, the atmosphere, the visual mastery. There are no words. All hail Cameron the great! You can just see it in their faces, Avatar is the REAL SHIT.
Bit-Bit said:
Stop hating on this masterpiece. You can tell from the leaked pictures the movie is pure class, and the acting and cinematography is top notch. You don't need to have action, CG or aliens to tell a great story, and Cameron knows this. I don't expect everyone to understand though.

And what's funny is, he's actually wrong. Adjusted for inflation Gone With the Wind is the biggest film of all time, not Titanic.
That said, AVATAR is sounding badass and I'm looking forward to it. AICN had a pretty in-depth description of what was shown at Comic-Con and... I'm excited. Looking forward to it.
Vinci said:
Adjusting for inflation ignores the fact that Gone with the Wind was released and rereleased for DECADES, had very little competition, did not have to compete with TV, internet, video games, anything. It did very well, but it was a very different time and it's apples to oranges comparing something like that to anything released today.
I also have a problem adjusting Titanic to today's levels considering there was no DVD market, Internet was in it's infancy, there was shit in theatres, and it was able to stay in theatres for NINE MONTHS. Not taking anything away from it but Dark Knight was able to hit 530 in 1/3 of the time and had competition out the ass.
Just take movie grosses for what they are. Inflation is a good way of saying "Everything was better in the past!"

Can not get those links to work here at work for some reason, probably not missing much though.
Will look when I get home I suppose.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the thing about it being a 'spoiler' to some people. I hope no one saw it who didn't want to.

I hope so.
The hype will be this movie's Achilles heel (at least in the mind of many parts of the Internet and regular moviegoers).
Personally, I don't find hype to be influential of my final opinion of a specific movie, only influencing my awareness of the movie and finally seeing what all the "hype" is about.

Stop living in the past man. Speaking of Inglourious Basterds, I'm seeing it in 2 days at the Sydney Premiere.
Lime said:
I love JC movies. But...Honestly. I will watch the trailer. And if I don't see and experience the meaning of life itself, then, I will never, watch a JC movie. I will also call him the worst director ever. And I will curse him during tea time everyday, for 3 years.

Exactly like I said: "at least in the mind of many parts of the Internet".
EDIT: My point still stands though. Many people (those who are aware of the movie and the hype surrounding it) will go into the theater, expecting it to be groundbreaking and revolutionising. Like another posted mentioned on another forum:
"The technology side alone excites me. Cameron has been sharing his new tech with Jackson and Spielberg so hopefully motion capture in general will benefit. I'm a sucker for space and new planets so even if the film doesn't live up to the hype, I don't see how it can since this film is supposed to revolutionize 3D film making with films being broken down into 'before Avatar' and 'after Avatar'. Please, that's hubris to say the least. If Avatar has a nemesis it is the extreme hype Cameron and others have built around it. Building that kind of hype and not delivering will cause backlash in proportion to the hype."
Pretty much my sentiments. I'm also extremely eager to see it.

They probably won't. You'll have to watch the 2D trailer, like the rest of us unlucky basterds.
Oh and by the way. Avatar day is US only huh?

I'm excited for the tech too. But just for CGI more than the 3D. There isn't even an IMAX here where I live. So there's no point.

I hope the trailers at least two minutes long. With a decent amount of footage.Wollan said:
Not a minute and a half of "From the director of the most popular film of all time" words Titanic appear in white on black background *fade to black* "and the visionary director of T1" same white lettering *fade to black* "T2" (you know the drill) *fade to black*
Then we get a close up of a Na'Vi's eye. And the date...
