It was in 3D and I was hypnotized floating around with Jake Suelly. I started to question if humans could become avatars and later after I was home smoking I realized I was an avatar to some Gods and eventually I ended up in the hospital on meds with psychosis but it all started there from that flix at Jordans. Did you enjoy a kellys roast beef while there?

Tara_is_a_Potato OP t1_j1buw5i wrote

That reminds me of this old co-worker I had at a retail store and we'd get fucked up after work sometimes. This one time we were tripping and he told me there was a girl out there for him and he was going to get her, so I was like, okay. The next day he didn't come into work because apparently he saw a girl in a window that night so he broke into her house to get at her, and ended up fighting with her father and getting sent to a psych ward. Anyway I prefer the Kelly's Roast Beef at Revere Beach.

I have a lot of friends who worked on it at Dreamworks. In my opinion, it’s in the top 3 movies DW has ever made- with Shrek and how to train your dragon. I went to an early screening last month and went in with fairly low expectations and was just blown away. Trust me, it’s astonishingly excellent.

My guess is they want to sell as many tickets as possible? It's not uncommon for me to want to see a movie at a certain time, go online to pick my seats, find that only the front row is available, and then close the screen without buying anything

If you make people buy tickets and line up, they don't know where they will sit, but since they've purchased the tix already, they feel obligated to go in.

I've nothing to base this on, just guessing.

Z0idberg_MD t1_j1d61ms wrote

My dude, those are frankly normal things that happen in the winter. And while yes, of course they are more common this year than ever before, they are more common because we wore masks for two years. We either doff the masks now, get through this winter and go back to our historical norm, or we continue to wear masks and run into the same issues year after year.

I would also like to point out that you’ve conceded we are not talking about truly serious illnesses where people are getting sick and dying. Which was the reason that we essentially compelled everyone, whether via policy or stigma, to wear masks. (I fully supported those policies btw during covid)

If you don’t want to ruin your own holiday, wear a mask. Simple as that. But to try and tell everyone in society that they need to wear a mask because you and your family might get a cold or a stomach bug and not get together on Christmas day, honestly, that’s not a compelling reason.

Hundreds of thousands of people saying a movie is forgettable certainly isn't a good thing.

That's sad. See different movies, there are lots of better movies out there.

> And just a heads up, yes being the biggest grossing movie of all time, Literally makes it special.

Not really. If you adjust for inflation, it's not the highest grossing movie. If you don't adjust for inflation, it will be surpassed in the next few years.

> plus All of the other technological advances created to make the films. That also make it special.

Yes, it was technically impressive, that's literally the only positive. That's almost exactly the critic consensus from rotten tomatoes.

> It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling...

Technically impressive, but as a film it's rather pedestrian.

> Hey my guy it’s just a movie it can’t hurt you, it’s OK. You’ll be OK. I’m sorry people enjoying things upsets you.

Good to know. Like whatever you want. I was simply pointing out that saying that it was the "biggest movie" of all time, is really an overstatement.

You're going to be missing out. This is one of those movies that's massively better in theaters then streaming at home, even if you have a good setup

I’m really not about to sit here and try to explain to you, what literally everybody is saying about this movie, even people that seem to hate it cannot deny that it is visually breathtaking. For three hours. Just go see it dude it’s a movie not surgery

Saw it at this very place last week. Such an odd experience walking through that place just to catch a movie.

So should we have to stop at the first chocolate chip cookie? Because I’ve had a lot and they all taste different, and I have a favorite. But they’re still the same variety of cookie. I like this version of the story. Maybe I don’t even like ferngully did you ever think about that. This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie. You can have yours

Best movie theater I have ever been to. Jordan's is a "hidden" gem.

When I saw the first Avatar at the IMAX in Reading almost the entire parking lot lit up before the movie before it was legal.

I'm sure the only thing that's changed is the potency

Living in Denver, I miss the fuck out of Jordan's IMAX. I used to go to the one in Reading and I can honestly say that was the ONLY place I would see movies. And even though most theaters now have assigned seating, I was perfectly okay with showing up an hour before to make sure I got a great seat because I really thought it was worth it.

Saw it at a Regal Cinema. I really wish I saw it in IMAX but it was still a visual spectacle even on a less than ideal screen.

The movie was surprisingly a lot better than I thought it was gonna be.

I hate avatar the blue creatures make me so mad like who do they think they are that they can defy humanity if I were in charge I would have bombed them back to the stone and age and burned their stupid tree from orbit. I will be boycotting this movie because I hate the blue ones and want them to die.

yeah bro fantasy is dumb and doesn't belong in fictional movies. If I saw a blue creature in America, I would bomb the crap out of it right here in America, in order to protect America, no matter how many centuries of fallout there might be, because I hate those blue creatures and I love America.

I am not mad because of fantasy elements I am mad that evil blue creatures defeat humanity (The greatest species) I hate aliens and want them to lose!!!!! Like in independence day.

These are the same people who just can't wait and will rush out and wait in line overnight for the latest iPhone, graphics card, Xbox release, sneaker, etc.

It's not going anywhere for awhile. What's the hurry? So you can chat it up with your coworkers the next day about how awesome it was?

Wait a couple of weeks and you can still enjoy it without the crowd and hassles.

Damn homie you sound like a sad person that’s upset the other people are having a good time doing something. And if that’s not the case, you sure are coming off that way. You might want to do some self reflection if you care about that kind of thing.

That's most of this thread tbh. Snarky "Of course I want to sit with a bunch of other maskless strangers who will ruin the movie instead of watching it at home" and "Why would anyone want to see Avatar 2?! I can't believe it?!!!".

Some people enjoy going to a crowded movie theater again post-pandemic, and just want something entertaining.
