Ooooh, the bar scene! Can't wait to see that one. But I think I'll rather wait for the Blu-ray than watch a crappy filmed-off-the-screen version. Thanks, though!

Why should I declare you crazy, I am crazy enough to order my Twilight DVDs from the US. LOL ... and my family called me crazy because I spent 90 Euro to meet three Twilight actors last year. It's a strange world.

Btw, you can officially declare me geek-crazy. I'm willing to spend 90 EUR on the limited collector's Blu-ray edition of Avatar. :embarrassed: I'm hoping that amazon.co.uk will offer it cheaper at some point, though. It's not listed there yet. Comes out on Nov 15.

Yep, the underwater thing has been floating round the internet for weeks now. But thanks, always nice to read more about it.

Well, it's cool that you will get a chance to see it, even if it's only once.

Haha! Probably not a whole lot, though, as it seems to be coming only to select theaters and only in 3D. Chances are slim that it'll show anywhere in OV within a drivable radius. I will (hopefully) be seeing it in IMAX with a few fans from the Netherlands and Germany on Sep 4th, as we're having a little naviblue.com meetup in the Netherlands, but that might actually be my only chance.

OK, so I'm taking bets on how many times TeeJay will see the Special Edition in theaters when it opens...

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what he does with all this acclaim. After "Titanic" DiCaprio tried to do interesting work and not rely solely on his teenybopper fanbase. I hope "RPatz":rolleyes: does that. Then maybe you'll acquire a little respect for him.

Ditto. Although I think he did interesting work even before the Twilight hype started. (Ever seen "How To Be"? That's the kind of quirky little [British] comedy I like. LOL)

Oh, I totally get it that people aren't interested much in the movie or its premise. Let me just tell you that on DVD it won't be half as good as on the big screen. Avatar really lives from the images. And on the small TV screen I just can't see it coming across the way it's supposed to. I still hope you enjoy the movie when you watch it.

And, you know, I can't even judge Robert Pattinson. I have no idea what he does outside of acting. I just don't follow that stuff at all. You know how some people you don't even know seem unlikeable and totally unappealing to you without you having a real reason to dislike them? Well, that's Pattinson for me. Add to that the fact of him being the new teen idol that kids faint and scream over when he's merely in their sight, and I have even more of a natural, if totally unfounded antipathy. As an actor, he's not impressed me in either of the Twilight movies, so I don't have a desire to watch him in anything else.

Yeah, at least Pattinson seems like a decent chap and not a pants-pooping, fat-headed, self-indulgent creep.

What I like about Pattinson is that he seems to be having the time of his life. It's like he knows he's the luckiest SOB on the planet and he's gonna enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. That's always fun to watch. UNTIL...he starts getting into typical young-actor excesses like destroying cars, hotel rooms, etc; abusing various substances; being caught with Hollywood Blvd. hookers; and basically taking all the success for granted, like it's no more that his due. So far, I'm okay with him.
