Re: The Avatar Prediction | Tracking Thread LadiesMan is yours.
BTW, I know I'm part of the "hater" side, but I'm still 100% hyped for this film. I'm just not convinced of its $300m prospects, and I'm convinced it will make no where near $400m. I need a trailer. Now.

I thought it meant Immuno Precipitation, an antibody-based protein extraction technique.

I'd say the same of Kong and arguably some shots of Gollum as well. This is probably about on Hulk (2003) level. I hope it isn't the finished product.

Re: The Avatar Prediction | Tracking Thread Am I the only person that thought King Kong's CGI was pretty overrated?
But yeah, I'll wait until Avatar Day to judge the work here (Assuming there isn't a 2D bootleg leaked beforehand).
