"Avatar" shown as Easter movie on German free TV... why I won't watch it!

[Niri Te]

I never have seen it in the movie house. The first time that I saw it, Tee and I were at our Air Force Veteran's house, and it had just started to roll the opening credits, not the first scenes, as we walked in. He has premium satellite TV, so there were NO commercials. It was NOT the director's cut though, but we loved it. Two days later, we had our own, Collectors Edition, DVD, that we set up to play the extra 18 minutes. We have seen it eleven times on DVD, and five times on Mo's satellite system.
That is the ONLY way to see it, large, flat screen plasma, surround sound at about 200 watts with the subwoofers turned all the way up.
That is how we have seen it every time.

Avatar doesn't have opening credits. That's something that seemed to bother people in some of the reviews I read, but I of course totally don't mind

You may be speaking too soon if you haven't seen it in RealD or IMAX and I hope you get to sometime.

WROOONG Bunkie, although what I call "Credits" in this case is where the word for the movie company comes on the screen. That is when we walked in. I realize that most people mean all the names and stuff, when they say "credits", but it's an established fact that I'm Weird, so my definition that anything other than the movie itself is a "credit" should not be a shock.

I HATE those stupid glasses, and being stone deaf in the left ear, negates any of the super duper audio wizardry, as it does absolutely NOTHING for me, as I have ZERO Sense of direction of sound, but I CAN hear the full spectrum in my good ear, why I like the subsonics. One day I will set up a set of subwoofers IN the recliner, so that I can FEEL the subsonics in my thighs and spine.
I have seen two movies, (both 2D), in the IMAX theater in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, and I get the same effect sitting in the center of the first row in a normal theater.

That isn't really the definition of credits as most people call it. I'd say that's a splash screen

Txim_asawl, I am with you on this one: I would not watch Avatar on TV, either - precisely because of all the ads that, it seems, are Meant to come up in the most crucial & emotionally charged moments!

I shall bless IMAX with my presence for Avatar 2 (3, 4, 5... 10) - meanwhile, I have my DVD, & watching Avatar is such a deeply personal, almost sacred, experience, that I prefer to watch it alone, & shut out everything (no lights, no phones, no nothing & don't knock on my door cos I am on a different planet! ). And dive in & then just surf it.

I have five different 4 wheeled vehicles, ALL of them either Ford or Jeep, ALL of my motorcycles are built by Suzuki, I got my first one in 1968. My cameras have ALL been NIKON'S since 1968, and all of Ateyo's and my stringed instruments are all made by Fender.

Be grateful you have one working ear. I hear NOTHING cuz my ears are broke and been that way for 15 years now. I've learned to adapt and my sense of feel has become my #1 sense. A subwoofer UNDER your chair or next to you is the next best thing when it comes to hearing loss. I watched Avatar at my buddy's house. He has surround sound and a huge subwoofer that shakes the house and the experience of avatar (blue ray on HD tv) was totally unbelievable. Then I went to the theater during the re-release SE version where they had surround sound and subwoofers built in the theater with 3D viewing....OMG!

I am TRULY sorry for your hearing loss ma ahoragi, I am thankful that I have the one ear. I lot the hearing in my left ear one of the times that I was wounded in the Army.
I am glad that the sub woofers help your experience of enjoying the movie. I have a 1990 YJ with a Bikini sunscreen, and no doors, it is legal to drive it on the street without the doors on, a 1995 YJ with the roll up window doors and the fiberglass full top, and a 1987 XJ with the 4.0 liter six that I put the 258 crank into, stroking it out to 4.5 liters. It has the AW-4 automatic, while the two YJ's have the AX-5 transmissions in them. All the Jeeps have Dick Cepek lift kits under them, and 31-10.50X15 mud tread tires on them.
What kind of jeep do you have?

Thanks but don't be sorry. It was meant to be I guess. It's pretty quiet and I don't have to deal with all the annoying noises LOL.

My 1st one, 9 years ago: 2000 4 cyl 3 speed auto with too many different modifications that I can't list..LOL



My current XJ that I gf drives all the time: 2001 4.0 4 speed auto with 4.5" long arm kit, winch, snorkel, locker and bunch of other stuff.



Our new baby, the 1999 with 82k mile. 4 cyl 5 speed manual. Just got her a couple months ago. Waiting for the weather to get better so I can go topless and doorless again. It's been too long!

Those are some NICE looking jeeps guy, I'll load up some photos of our three tomorrow.

Don't worry Txim, if I load up any photos of my three Jeeps they will be in private messages to him. I would not have even said another word about them here, but you asked the question, so I had to answer you.
