Firstly, thanks for being an accomplished person and choosing to spend your time in an online place where you hopefully share some interesting things people don’t know.

Secondly, congrats on the Oscar!

Thirdly, lots of questions.

• how do you feel about this whole thing; participating in the making of a film that ended up with the reputation that it has (seen as not significant culturally, but excellent technically and financially successful)?
• Were you assigned to work on this by your work, be it through a “boss” or through an “agent”, or did you seek out the role you had (and what was it that you did, if you want to share)?
• Did you personally enjoy the plot (of any of the avatar films) and is it one of your favourite films (as a fan or as a filmmaker)?
• Did you end up reading the entire script for the ones you haven’t seen at some point? Did you like the story? Do you think you’ll see them after you’re done “getting over” the burnout?

After close to 9 years of every work day somehow tracing back to one or the other film, the overwhelming feeling at the completion of Avatar 3 was relief, above all else.

I know that feel :) Obv not 9 years worth, but I understand the feeling.

Finally… are you going back for 4+5? Why for either response.

Thanks for all your time, regardless of if you respond.

Oh PS : I recently made a comment that the best use of 3d in film is when they add depth into the shots, and not when things are “popping out of the screen at you”, but people aren’t willing to interface with this in a subtle way, which is why it kinda fizzled. Do you agree with my view on how 3d can be best used, and do you think we might get it to come around again and actually be used “properly”?

But he and his writers have embraced a more simplified, broad-stroke approach to character and dialogue, one which puts the movies right on the border between telling stories with universal appeal and simply rehashing familiar tropes, including many copied over from Cameron’s previous films.

If the Avatar series’ impact starts diminishing the moment the movies leave theaters, that might be because they’re not meant to be seen any other way

Jesus christ, that’s more damning than anything I wrote against the fucking films as a person forced to see the first one twice when it came out by my shittiest girlfriend.

You’re pulling me back towards the hater side and away from the “well played cameron” side.

Alright. With the uptick in memes and shit, I think I can start to appriciate that after the third film, Avatar might actually be starting to make a cultural impact. Now, if that’s because of disney paying people to talk about it and make memes and shit, who knows.

My grandmother’s full name is basically a giant fuck you to the people group that currently live in the territory our surname is from. It’s literally “EthnicityTerm ContestedCity”

That’s right, she should personally ride a tank to the white house and blow it down, I’m sure that will de-escalate things

is that why my fucking electric hob has no buttons? no. the general wave that led to the fucking car having an Ipad was… the iphone

I think the Iphone came before the massive boost in tesla popularity.

Finally undoing the damage to design apple and John goingToSt Ives did.

If only we would also undo the other trends apple did, “Treating the customer like they are stupid”, walled gardens(we control your device not you) and everyone’a favourite: it’s in the store for 99cents

Edit: there’s a time and a place for multi touch, capacitive screens; it’s with unorthodox uis or things with a heavy emphasis on portability and video.

it’s a shit joke about vaccine side effect conspiracies

Is that how you ended up here and as a furry?

that’s the funny thing about grok, they keep feeding it bullshit to make it lie, but because they don’t properly control the data set they feed it, it keeps saying things they don’t want it to. It also happens to the AIs people are trying to train to tell the truth, they don’t properly control the data set they feed it, so it lies.

In personal settings, sure. In professional ones, not really

Because civics teaches you the reason for taxes and what the government is for. It will lead to people not being able to run on “taxes bad” platforms and will lead to some kind of centre left , welfare enabled government.

If you want socialist democracy, sure.

Aren’t you meant to be banging two chicks at the same time?

oof. at least you’re getting paid for music.
