New Avatar Extended TV Spot
Thu, November 12, 2009 Funny little story about this news-item. TMT big-cheese Peter and his girlfriend were watching Glee last night. When she saw that a “special sneak peek” for Avatar was about to start, she got up and left the room to get a cup of coffee. AKA she didn’t give a rat’s ass about the overly-hyped Cameron epic and didn't want to sit through it before her show came back on. Before anyone starts bitching about her taste, I’m talking about someone who loves popcorn pictures as much as your average film nerd (like me and you!) That is to say they'll be seeing Sherlock Holmes when it opens.
And the fact that this special extended trailer is pretty much the same as the second theatrical trailer from a week or two back doesn’t tell me Fox is confident they have a real winner. Why make a big deal about this when it only a few extra bits here and there? Seriously though, wasn’t this TV spot laughable enough?
Nonetheless, Coming Soon has the new trailer in question up for your viewing pleasure.

but is she against the movie because of the hype? because this is the wrong reason to not watch a movie.
if someone would told me today that he wont watch Holmes i would slap hes face. RDJ playing Holmes will be 100% fun. noone from my friends awoids this movie on my watch. ;)
but did the hype or ''overhype'' start from Cameron? or is it only the internet?
yes i know that he always answeres the same questions( technology). but what if they are all asking only about technology?
because it pisses me of when journalist's always ask him the same question :
'' did you work on this movie for 14 years?''
noooo . he wrotte a short outline 14 years ago. he started working on this movie in 2005. and now it will be 4 years. he said this 100 times. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Jamie already knows I'm with Mr. Gee on this one. I think that the movie looks better than he thinks it looks.
It's hard for me to predict a movie this early so I'm not even going to start throwing out numbers but I do think that it could still hit 200mil in the states and probably more overseas. Right now, do I think that Fox will make money off the thing? After the DVD sales and T.V rights are sold, yes.
I'm with ya Jamie that I don't think that it's grossing 300, 400 or 500mil domestically but numbers like that are mostly pipe dreams for most bigbudget movies anyway and this one is no exception.
lol I'm still wondering if your head would explode if the movie somehow did make 400mil in the states. Not that I'd ever really wish for your head to explode. ;)
i think he is more against the hype Spidey. if you look at hes opinion on District 9.
i bet if District 9 would have so much publicity,promotion and hype .......that people would be sick of it. D9 came out of nowhere. a quality scifi movie was realesed BOOM.
some videos that i found . if you have the time watch them. they dont take a lot of time to load. and its all 10 minutes.
story or technology. what does Cameron want?

did Cameron say : '' thats not the case. '' ?
did he say that its not revolutionary and not going to change how movies are made? i think this is very important because a lot of people are blaiming Cameron for saying this. he did say in interviews that the CGI will be photorealistic. every surface is rendered based on real life surface. its photoreal. maybe the whole image and frame doesnt look real. IMO it doesnt always look real . but the surface from metal,skin,plant is photoreal.
so what does this mean now? should we blame Cameron for this?
