Looks pretty bad to me! I predict a box office disaster! I will have to take a big time pass on this one! Special effects look pretty....lousy!

You want to wager a plug on that one

This is going to be a huge opening....and the effects look spectacular if you ask me.

it's a combination of new technology and special effects

use to be....they'd glow ball ya to check your back swing on a golf shot... or set up a video game with the technolgy

now they have advanced to facial features and there's one hundred
muscles in the face that create expression....

read the book "body language"...it's pretty cool...

i can tell what people are thinkin with astute observation because once you know the signals.... they give it away.

My OLD friend LU (gone now sadly)
would often say to me :
WILL YOU ! STOP DOING THAT!

because i'd answer his question the moment he thought THEM

and after doing it three times in a row he'd catch up to me
and realize he never asked any of them and THEN get ALL weirded out
and be lookin at me like the cheshire cat hah hA
SAYIN -> YOU BASTARD!

So whats the wager? Define huge?? I see no promotion for this movie going on to speak of.......I think it looks like a big budget, big profit hopeful that spun out of control cost wise and the Studio will be lucky to turn a profit. It just looks like a pile of celluloid crap to me!

Can you say..."Ishtar"?

Check out the Competition....

These are the "Other" movies opening the same weekend as Avatar.


Did You Hear About the Morgans?
Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant are a Manhattan couple who are sent to hide in small-town Wyoming after they witness a murder.

Nine
(Limited) A film director reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportions while balancing the numerous women in his life.

The Young Victoria
(Limited) Emily Blunt stars in the story of the early years of Queen Victoria's rule and her legendary romance with Prince Albert.

Its almost like Hollywood is Conceding this weekend
