True enough. Ketchup bottles making farty noises can make me laugh until I cry. Darlet #2 comments, "Daddy, you're such a boy".

See! :lol2:

Shouldn't they be "Petelet" #1 and #2 now? Or Ziclets? :)

True enough. I don't really care for Petelet. I kind of liked darlet 'cause it sounded a little like starlet. Does Ziclet sound enough like Chick-let? I'll have to give it some thought.

Well if you shorten pizzicato, but end it with an a so their gender is clear, you get... pizzas! :)

Either sausage or anchovy. ;)

Is that even possible? The only IMAX I have seen was Flight at the museum.

I enjoyed Dances with Flying Lizards.

Visually, I think it was one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen.

t-s and I went to IMAX 3-D.

Storywise, meh.

And I have some science problems.

But, it's so pretty I am absolutely willing to see it again.

Even if it is rated PG-13 for smoking.

Tickets are already sold out for IMAX 3-D this weekend, however, t-s and I may end up going to the regular 3-D show that runs around the same time so that we can join the Levys (darn, how do you make a plural of that?? Levies doesn't look right either) for dinner.

Oh, and you won't puke from the flying, rich. They shot it in such a way that it's not 1st person perspective, and the swoops are done with sufficient point of reference to require special cleanup in the theaters. There IS a scene very near the beginning where you'll feel lightheaded, but it passes quickly.

I loved the tree pods floating everywhere. It was a great visual.

I agree on the story line. Funny how so many groups are now making political whoo-ha out of it. Relax people. It's just a frigging movie with a mild message.

I finally saw it last night. Regular theater in 3D.

I had heard how unoriginal the story was, and it's true. But it kept my interest and was exciting. Formulaic stories are formulaic for a reason. They work.

The experience of watching this movie was amazing. Absolutely stunning.

I had no problems with the 3D and motion sickness or anything like that. They did a very good job with the 3D. I felt like I was on the planet with them. Watching the movie was like being in a really cool and really vivid dream.

My recommendation, if you haven't seen it, is to go see this movie in 3D in a theater, but keep your expectations low. Because it sucks. (See what I did there? I'm trying to lower your expectations. It's actually good.)

I am soooo looking forward to seeing it in IMAX 3D. Yes, my expectations are pretty high. Nice try Glatt, but I'm too psyched up for this.:D

With the Fandango fee, it comes to $18 a ticket. The theater reserves the right to deny you service if they refund the 'full ticket price'. If, heaven forbid, they do that to me they had better make it $18 and not $15. Since they know how many Fandango tickets were sold, I'm assuming they can't overbook.

It was pretty good. We got there just before the movie started and the only seats were up front. On the bad side this meant I missed some action on the sides. On the good side it filled my peripheral vision so it was a pretty immersive experience.

I did not get motion sickness, but Mrs. Levy did. She had to leave the movie after about an hour.

Wolf already saw Avatar, but we met for dinner. It was great to see her again in real time.

Tester and I went to see Book of Eli since we couldn't get tickets for Avatar IMAX 3D. We would have happily seen it again otherwise.

It was awesome to spend time with the Levy family!!

Thinking of going this weekend to the IMAX 3D. However, my brother is advising against it. I get motion sickness easily so I'm thinking of not taking the risk of getting dizzy. Avatar in regular theater screen should be good too, right? Anyone seen it NOT in 3D?

I saw a 3D movie at an amusement park years ago, and almost threw up, it made me so sick. So I was a little nervous when I went to see Avatar in 3D. I had absolutely no problems at all. They do a good job with the 3D.

I did. I enjoyed it.

Just eat lots of anchovies and Limburger before you go. ;)

I almost asked if they're supposed to help reduce motion sickness. :o

But you didn't. :thumb:

They sure take movie statistics to a new level these days.

Check out some of the stats they have on Avatar. Looks like they need an entire staff of people to keep track of these things.

Saw the movie in digital 3D today. Very nice! I ate lunch before going to the movies but didn't eat any anchovies or Limburger. :p I was very surprised how nice the 3D was and was glad that I choose to watch the movie in 3D although I'm sure the regular view would've been nice too.

What the hell kind of stupid evolution causes everything to have two of everything? Was that the most "different" thing they could think of? Giving everything two of everything? You're not usin' your brains! I had some other complaints but I forgot what they were. The font didn't bother me once.

two of everything? like . . . arms, ears, eyes, legs, sexes?

Everything had multiple PAIRS of eyes, front legs, wings, if I recall correctly. I imagine that they would like to explain this as coming from a common ancestor, but it occurred in so many different types of species that this stupid and pointless feature would have had to survive simultaneously in every type of animal in the world during all the millions of years that they differentiated from some common ancestor that had a useless feature, for some reason, in the first place. Oh, and all the competing lifeforms that didn't waste valuable resources on redundant parts (that add no functionality) would've been more successful and beat out all of the useless, extra-legged animals easily, or at least a majority of the time. There couldn't be a "planet-wide" reason for poor design, it doesn't work that way. Nature doesn't get "cool ideas" the way a graphic designer does.

Also, the flying things had fins on their heads that would've broken their neck if they turned their heads while flying.

All Earth vertebrates come from an animal with four limbs. The only group that I can think of that doesn't have them anymore is snakes. What bugged me evolution-wise is that the Na'vi didn't have any of the features that the other creatures had (except the brain-tentacles). I guess they're Pandora's version of snakes, except in addition to missing limbs, they lost eyes and breathing-holes too.

I thought at one point they showed the Na'vi breathing holes. But I admittedly wasn't paying much attention.

There were a LOT of vertebrate body plans on scenic Pandora. Hexapodal and tetrapodal all over the place.

I suppose the reason the antigravity metal didn't get called Cavorite in that universe went something like this at the boardroom:

It's an antigravity mineral that makes useful alloys. It's cavorite!

Nah, the Burroughs estate's legal people object -- and they've got it pretty well sewn up.

Well, shit... what'll we call it then? Unobtainium?

Um... you know that's a materials-science joke, right?

Yeah, yeah. But. Any better ideas?

And on that note, the meeting breaks up.
