AVATAR VHS release: review
I recently purchased the VHS version of James Cameron's AVATAR from Amazon.com.
Avatar on VHS offers a number of benefits for the cinema aficionado looking to delve deeper into this blockbuster.
The loss of visual quality allows the viewer to really concentrate on the often overlooked storyline and over appreciated acting. Sam Worthington's 3D enhanced acting from the cinema print is reverted to it's original 1D allowing it to blend seamlessly into the paint by numbers storyline.
While some may point out the significant resolution loss from blu-ray they fail to mention that the graininess offered by VHS actually makes the CGI look less fake. It's almost like we are watching a fly-on-the-wall documentary filmed on some distant planet instead of an overblown Hollywood cheese fest.
With this in mind I give this release: 4/5.
(I had to remove 1 star as i was disappointed that Sam Worthington hadn't been digitally removed completely)
James Cameron taking a shit on the skeletal remains of Titanic survivors
''I'm the king of the world! WHOOO! Shit on you ooooooh"
James Cameron somehow forgot to 'thank' all the victims of the Titanic who lost their lives when he won numerous Oscars for his crappy bore inducing cheese fest.
"Wahoo, I'm the king of the World?" - WTF
What about the fact that this was a tragic real life event where people lost their lives? Goddamn Cameron is another one of those Baby Boomers who ruined the modern world with their shameless, heartless, money grubbing ways.
Don't you just want to punch him in the throat!!?
He ain't all bad though. Cameron does deserve a lot of praise for The Abyss, Terminator, and Aliens because they are fucking awesome movies.
But as soon as he made Celine Dion sing the main song from Titanic we all new it was over. Celine Dion...? WTF! R U serious?? I guess he fucking was.
James Cameron
I'm working my way towards writing about his involvement with RECTUM 3D SANCTUM 3D. What a total abortion of a film.
