I think you're reading a little too much into my post. When I said "human suffering," I was talking about things like, say, people being displaced, or chemicals poisoning water supplies (like with DuPont), etc. Just instances over the decades where corporations have been objectively and appallingly ****ty. Is Avatar hokey and heavy-handed? Sure. But I don't think anyone is confusing RDA (the company in the movie) with Starbucks or whatever.


I think you'd be surprised at many gen z'ers and late millennials. The same people who quite literally equate disagreement and criticism to physical violence don't make a distinction between not paying them a "living wage" and things like groundwater poisoning or child labor exploitation, regardless of any other ethical behavior or choices.

This is a good read on it from a pair of fairly liberal authors. It's not this exact subject, but details the basis and pervasiveness of the thought process that arrives at such conclusions.

Saw a bunch of new posts and was hopeful it was the first Twitter reviews. Instead, a bunch of bull***** Can staff create a secret Forum 14.5 (F13 + F16 / 2) where people can rant about the political problems they perceive in movies?

I miss the days when the entertainment board was about entertainment and people crying about their politics kept that conversation elsewhere.
Thanks and gig'em

Back on track...

Is the 3D being done any differently for the sequel as far as you know? I developed a splitting headache after about 90 minutes during the 1st one and had to remove the 3d glasses and watch the rest of the movie blurred which wasn't a great experience.

Unfortunately I doubt your experience would be any different this time around. It's always disappointing to hear it doesn't work for everyone, cause it looked so fantastic.

All I know is that projectors in general have much higher resolution and brighter/clearer picture now than in 2009, so that could possibly help. At the very least, the picture will be much brighter. In particular, IMAX Laser and Dolby theaters.

There was a video posted here a while back, when the first trailer hit, that explained how the first movie had four 3D layers. Meaning there was a foreground layer of movement (usually the main couple of characters in the scene), a layer of movement behind that (the ancillary/background characters), a layer behind that (say, the trees behind them), and then a final, deep background layer (say, the mountains off in the distance). Comparatively, the sequel has *eight* 3D layers, allowing for even more depth and a better approximation of real life. I have no idea if that will help or further hinder anyone who had issues with the 3D in the first movie, all I know is that it was super interesting, that nothing like this has ever been done before, and it apparently takes an insane amount of rendering/processing power.

Myself and REDACTED spent nearly 90 minutes perfecting our creative project last night and I come online to find it vanished to the four winds

The Weeknd doing the original song(s). Kind of an unexpected choice, but not a bad one.

Just FYI, the world premiere is this Tuesday in London, and it sounds like the reaction embargo lifts the same day, I'm assuming after the premiere.

Lifting the embargo a week and a half before release shows confidence in this movie.
