I mean I hear many people hate the politics of Avatar 2010 movie as well especially nowadays.

You’ll see reviews saying how stupid the message was in that movie. Of course I haven’t watched it, so I can’t make an opinion myself. But that’s what I’ve heard.

Although I do think if it came out those reactionary channels would call it SJW propaganda. I guess it shows how intense post 2016 discourse is compared to 2010.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
The politics of “Corporations bad nature good!”

@Darth Prime
and betray your comrades for alien tits.

Holy shit.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but for the first time in One Piece’s entire English run, the Dub is about to be in the same arc that the original Japanese version is at.

Next week, Crunchymation will officially start dubbing the Wano Arc.

@phoenixacezero
As a fun little refresher on that HISHE re-uploaded (I’m pretty sure it’s the original one) the James Cameron’s Avatar video.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I have seen it, but all I remembered was that a person used a cyborg that look like the natives of the planets and there was alien sex. I forgot stuff that was in like the main character being crippled or that they connect with animal and junk with their tendril hairs until I watch an honest trailer of it.

I’ll be getting an early screening of Avatar 2 on Thursday night.

I saw the original in theaters (didn’t see it in 3D, though.) I loved it back then, but I don’t look too fondly on it today.

@Goku Black
Mom and I saw the re-release a couple months ago, we’re seeing the sequel next Tuesday.

Then the following week I’m seeing Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and that’s all I got planned for the year.

@Jade Kitsune
The next thing I’m planning on seeing is Spiderverse. Next June. I don’t go to the movies often.

@Dex Stewart
My theater does $5 Tuesdays. My current goal is to see one movie a week for a whole year (as of March 2022)!

@Jade Kitsune
That’s actually a cool idea.

@Jade Kitsune
About every movie theater chain in my area has a $5 Tuesday matinee day, but only one of them doesn’t require you to sign up for one of those “rewards programs” that only rewards frequent visits. And I don’t go to the movies as often as I used to.

Man I hate those. The one I have is like “Pay $100 worth of tickets, get $5 off your next visit!”.

I’m just like, thanks? In 4 years I’ve probably accumulated $30 worth of points, and Discount Tuesday tickets are still $6.50.

@Beth
Yeah, I tried this idea at the start of January 2020.

Then the pandemic hit.

I’d only seen ten movies before my theater temporarily closed.

I stream audio/video with my GF every day.

Using an API called Hyperbeam that synchronizes audio and visual between multiple participants. With a chatbox where everyone can talk.

Movies I’ve seen in theaters weekly beginning on the week of March 20, 2022:

@Jade Kitsune
Wow, you remember so many movies you watched in theater? I went to theater way less this year and I don’t remember what I watched.

@Jade Kitsune
You went saw all that, but not The Batman?
Tsk tsk

@Just Wayne
I keep a list.

@Darth Prime
You’re going to literally hunt me down and kill me just because I decided to start with Raya for my year-long goal?

I remember that my friend had a calendar with the premieres of the films marked.

When I get to my 52nd title, I’m going to include an opinion-based score to show if I liked, thought was okay, or disliked each movie.

@Jade Kitsune
No it’s just for me The Batman was the first time I was in a theater since The Rise of Skywalker.
Jesus Christ chill the fuck out.

So far I’ve raced 3,172 times online in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Did Games workshop backpedal on the deepkin? At first it seemed they were set up as a tragic people who had no choice but to hunt to ensure their children could grow, but I saw a video on them a while back that made them out to be just as pointlessly evil as the dark elves from fantasy or even the dark elder,
