- In line to see Avatar (IMAX) at Riverport. Can barely see theatre doors, 1 hr early! #
- Discovered something slower than the line at UBC Tim's: movie conccession at Riverport #
- So, thoroughly enjoyed Avatar but really, really confused why all of you enjoyed it. I mean, it's sci-fi. When did sci-fi become mainstream? #
- Can't wait for the "how we did that" documentaries for Avatar. I'd love to know how much of it *wasn't* CG. #
- I kept watching, looking for shots that could have been done without CG. The shots with the Na'vi, all mo-cap ala Gollum? Something else? #
