I remember watching it for the first time a week and a half ago, and the sorrow was overwhelming. My Sis and I were discussing about the film after we walked out of the cinema, describing how it was beautiful and moving. After that day, my Sister had moved on, the feeling had left her, whereas for me, it was still there inside of me, my heart feeling heavier than ever... I couldn't help but watch this film again, and so I did... a few more times. The heavy hearted feeling still hasn't fully disappeared, some of it is still there inside of me, but I am coping with it much better now than earlier today. I guess this feeling of sorrow has to do with some of the things involved with the film, for example, the reviews. The reviews bug me because they all state the same thing, never mentioning the emotional experience we receive during and after the film ends. The response from the public is mostly positive, but there is no sign of, "Wow, I was moved after watching that...". It's all "The CGI was amazing, the action was cool." I don't want to hear any of that, sure, they are positive, but what about the experience Cameron intended for us... The experience was great because the visuals were stunning, but I'm talking about experiencing the movie as a whole...experiencing the joy, anger, laughter and sorrow the film presents to us. Anyway, did anybody feel anything after leaving the cinema from watching Avatar? If so, how long did this feeling last within you?

Oel ngati kameie, ma tsmukan, ma tsmuke. I finally got to see the re-release late this afternoon & I was not disappointed one bit. I wasn't thrilled to come back to Earth when it was over though. But it was totally worth the $11 it cost me today. & I will most likely go see it again depending on how long it stays. My only complaint was my IMAX didn't show it due to it being re-released only in digital format & my IMAX isn't digital yet. That really irritated me, as I way prefer the IMAX for Avatar. Anyway, so glad to see all the long time members posting about getting to see it this weekend. I have already seen some positive comments online & a lot of negative ones from people that did not go see it, but just wanted to bash it because they are so close minded. It's so disheartening to me that there are so many people in this country, (USA) , that are that way & just will not see.

I about cried my eyes out over Tsu'tey's death scene myself, & I did leave the theater feeling sad. But in a good way, because I love the story so much. My sadness left fairly quickly & I am happy to report that I loved all the scenes he put back. I would love to see ALL of the cut scenes, even if it is 4 hours, I am in agreement with you, Kalimaa. By the way, if I am not on the board on your B-day, Happy early Birthday, I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend & get to enjoy Pandora in all it's glory the way it was meant to be seen!

By the way, JC Bider, this was my 16th time to see it in the theater, so I have almost caught up with you. I have not watched it on my blu ray in 4 months, I realized tonight & am glad since it was like new all over again. Ewya Ngahu.

James Cameron in talks to go to Alberta Tarsands

I am excited to report that James Cameron is in discussion to do a walking tour of the tarsands and lend his insight on the situation and his widespread popularity to bring attention to this ongoing fiasco.
He had responded to the AVATARSANDS campaign with appreciative words and kindness - but this step would be his outright support for shining global attention on a hugely ignored hotspot in the dirtyoil economy. Will post as soon as I know more for all of you who love the work that is being done to connect up global issues with a global visionary!
