My friends asked my I hated Avatar so much.....I told them I did like the movie, but I liked it better when it was called The Last Samurai, and I liked that better when it was called Pocahontas, and I liked that better when it was called Dances with Wolves
If Hollywood ever had ANY sort of brains,they'd burn the master print of Friedman and Seltzer's soon-to-be-released Avatar spoof,and release THIS to theaters.
I know I'm one of the only people who will openly defend this film, because it is a damn beautiful movie no matter how derivative the story is. But the Rifftrax crew just gives me another reason to watch it.
@NateSean it was good visuals in 2D, but 3D kinda sucked.. probably just cause my gf at the time made us sit towards the front so we were looking up at it and werent getting the full effect.
@GrizDrummer25 The pending release of Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D is all the proof I'll need that 3D exists solely to keep you from noticing your wallet being slowly drained of it's lifeforce.
I personally haven't seen any overwhelming reason to pay extra for glasses that I have to return, knowing full well that someone with a bad case of red eye might have worn them before me.
@NateSean you had to return your glasses? we can keep ours, but you still have to pay for them each time you go, which sucks. and i said something similar to that about episode one just the other day.
@GrizDrummer25 the one near me makes you return them. I just feel sorry for the lowly minimum wage theater employee who has to disinfect them.
I never get the 3D glasses unless someone else is buying. Anyway, in the description section you said you had a riff you wanted to add. Have you thought of trying to do your own iRiffs for Avatar?
I'm buying the 3-disc Blu-ray edition of Avatar in March, which includes three different editions of the film. The Rifftrax is for the original, theatrical edition, right?
@Verto9999 Actually, I'm pretty sure it's for the theatrical edition. They released the Riff around the same time Avatar first came out on DVD and Blu-ray in April 2010 (the crappy edition with no bonus features at all). Thanks!
Nerdy Guy from Avatar? Nooo.....I still do the robot voice whenever I see him. lmao He will never NOT be the nerdy robot guy from Grandma's Boy. hahaha
Also, gotta say how glad I am they riffed this...and you uploaded this video! Everyone around me was all about this movie when it came out, but when I saw it I was VERY let down. As others have pointed out, this story has been done so many times, most in good ways...but yeah, you all get what I'm saying. lol
I'm one of the few guys who wasn't even that impressed by the visuals. They're cluttered, violate basic rules of composition, and remind me of Maddox's rant about Revenge of the Sith: there technically aren't any special effects.
@FenristheRedWolf i wasnt that impressed either, and as a filmmaker i cant stand 3D. it draws all effort put into it and all attention watching it away from the story because everyones too focused on getting the shot that more or less breaks the 4th wall and comes right at the camera. 3D tv's dont even utilize it well. my dad just got one and it just adds extra background layers in stead of coming out of the frame.
I like how this movie out does even Michael Bay in the whisper thin plot wrapped in nearly 3 hours of shameless CGI masturbation department. Truely an inspiring testament to what an asshat who's best work is long behind him can accomplish with several hundred million dollars, a twelve year old's intellectual capacity and an ego the size of mainland China .
@alakabaz3 as a film-maker-in-training, i would like to openly and publicly apologize for Birdemic. That was a terrible attempt at a movie even by amateur standards.
Yes, the effects were beautiful, but the dialogue was absurd! I laughed my head off in the theaters, and I love how these guys totally picked up on the worst of it
And this will be pulled off youtube and the account closed in about a week....
Sorry man. I suggest you save all your videos soon before they are deleted. This happens to everyone who posts andy video from a James Cameron movie.
@GrizDrummer25 I have seen many people do that and still get cancelled. Just giving ya a possible warning altough this rifftrax is one of the best lol
...Is it just my imagination, or does James Cameron keep making the SAME bad film?
-Some "badass" (i.e. hillbilly psychopath) marines go to outer space, under the sea, or outer space again, their commander gets called "G.I.Joe" or "Roger Ramjet" or something by Sigourney Weaver, another woman and Sigourney Weaver again, and the marines get their scrawny white asses kicked by aliens, a squid and some aliens again.
