The Thing still has the best effects for its time.
Agreed!
I just watched that not that long ago, and I really, really love the practical effects. Too bad they're probably going to kill it with a prequel.

Great to see both this film and District 9 up for the Bafta's.

Jurassic Park, though an amazing film, can't even step in the ring with Avatar in a battle of Special Effects. I'll give you District 9 and call this little skirmish a draw. Well played Dressel.
I have still yet to see The Thing.

Don't worry though, heading up to Best Buy now. Any other 80's horror/sci-fi I should look for?
Nothing comes close to The Thing.
Get it on Blu-Ray.

Yeah but the 3D version doesn't come out until the end of the year.

I just saw on
Boxofficemojo that Avatar is only about $6M from overtaking Titanic as the No. 1 most grossing movie of all time world wide - so I guess the record will be broken..well, today probably.
I wonder if Cameron gets gross or net points on his movies.

Wow. $552 million domestic on the strength of $36 million in its 6th weekend at number one. Another 2 weeks or so and it'll shatter Titanic's domestic record of $600 million.
Be excellent to each other

Even if you liked the movie, that's pretty amusing.

Not really, it's the standard Hero's Journey template.
It works for almost every major film ever made:

I also disagree. Ferngully and Dances with Wolves used similar plot mechanics, yet no one called those films unoriginal.

You're right. I forgot a healthy sense of humor wasn't welcome when discussing "Avatar".
