At first I wanted to wait for Nov. to buy, don't know what to do now.

My answer for you is you are going to buy this version whatever the matter is.

Now if you care about extras features,extended version and additional footage ect... You are going to buy too the November release.

For me this release is enough

You're pretty much spot on, I'll be getting the Nov. release regardless.

If the answer is YES, then OMG are we in for a blast!

only in dark knight they user imax camera. its the best cameras ever

Good to hear, that was a fun sub-stretcher on Indy.

Q? · 04-19-2010, 02:02 PM

I thought the THX logo has pretty much been "watered" out.

And this will probably be moved to the master thread anyways, just be sure to post in the respective threads, we wouldn't want to give the mods more unnecessary work.

I though so too but not here>>>

Did any DVD or BLu have the Grandpa Simpson THX trailer? I saw that one at a theatre one time and it was such a blast to see.

Dave_6 · 04-19-2010, 02:21 PM

Nice to know this one is in lossless unlike the one that was on the Indy disc!

Stu123 · 04-19-2010, 02:21 PM

I wish all movies were 1:78 like avatar

Dave_6 · 04-19-2010, 02:23 PM

It's going to suck watching this without a sub

And I wish all movies would just come out on frakkin' Tuesday. This Thursday nonsense is not cool. The NFL Draft is on Thursday so I won't even be able to watch this on release day.

You might not say that if we had HDTVs that were 2.35:1 in shape instead of 1.78:1.

The reason that directors sometimes shoot for 2.35:1 is that it's a more dramatic canvass and it's presented "wider" in the theater... not "shorter" like it is at home on your 16x9 TV screen.

Thursday is Earth Day. Avatar is all about the preservation of the natural world. James Cameron is starting a program to plant 1 million trees on Earth Day. It's not just a random day of the week. Makes sense to me.

You can wait two extra days I think.

Surely there's a 3 hour period you can set aside on Thursday to watch it?

I can watch Avatar anytime. I've seen it twice. I rather watch sporting events "Live" rather than recording it on my cable box.

Either way I'll get to it this week for sure which will be most likely Thursday

Beast · 04-19-2010, 03:49 PM

Sports sucks. Pop in Avatar and watch something that really matters.
