Members Sylph Posted December 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2009 Take a look at this. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time cost $200m and Avatar between $230m and $500m (the $500m is a much-debated story from The New York Times). Boucher called all the rumours false.

Members bellcurve Posted December 7, 2009 Members Share Posted December 7, 2009 Does he even know what the rumors are? That sounds like saving face to me. He didn't even bother addressing which figures were right because he doesn't even know. There were even reports out saying that James Cameron was still doing expensive audio post production into mid-November, before Thanksgiving. It's okay to say you spent money on a film(no matter how gasp-worthy the dollar amount was), but it seems like they are majorly downplaying the numbers in the event that it becomes a financial flop.

Members Sylph Posted December 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2009 BTW, that song... It's as if Jim plagiarised himself again. It resembles in some parts to My Heart Will Go On. Agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 7, 2009 Members Share Posted December 7, 2009 But the difference between My Heart Will Go On vs. I See You is that MHWGO earned their big, screeching finale by starting off slow and THEN going for the big, well deserved sharp cheddar ending. ISY is so oversung and so overproduced that when they go for the drums and horns, it's doesn't set itself apart from the rest of the song. I agree it's a ripoff, but the least they could have done was build up to Leona screaming. But hey, I'll admit. I like the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2009 I am in equal part in love with it and detest it. Leona Lewis overdoes it, and overdoes it — badly! Just horrible. The reason why I love it is the arrangement, the twinkly percussion, the processed vocals in the beginning, the orchestral backing… But some melodic lines make no sense! It's as if they did it only to avoid being called out on using simplistic, overdone melodic movements and trite harmonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted December 7, 2009 Didn't really like ISY on the first listen. MHWGO is way better - it's more emotional and the music/melody/production is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 I still don't know what to think of this movie.... I want to watch it, out of curiosity mainly, but I have this feeling that I will be horribly disappointed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you expect a nice little story, forget it. This will be something like that guy Emmerich does, only whereas Emmerich's is D-list sh!t, this is A-list. The only thing worth seeing will be those much-talked-about effects and how that never-before-seen 3D works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yeah, that's the feeling I get from it... I guess I'll just go and enjoy it for what it is. Kinda like 2012. I don't expect that movie has any other reason of existence other than its special effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 9, 2009 Administrator Share Posted December 9, 2009 Except Emmerich doesn't get awards. There's already buzz that Avatar could get some Golden Globes nominations and now there's 10 spots for Best Picture at the Oscar, Avatar could slip in.

Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Which is why I said this is A-list crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 9, 2009 Administrator Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you think it's crap then why are you all a buzz over Avatar? Why do you care so much....Starting the thread, posting articles, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm interested. To see how it does, what's the music like, how bad the screenplay is, what can these new 3D cameras do, how will it end, what will possible sequels be like...
