08.13.09 IT PUTS THE AVATAR ON ITS NERD SKIN
(”How do you shoot women and children?” “Easy, you just use softer lighting!” [thanks, Donk])
This is how big a deal James Cameron’s Avatar is: on Monday, tickets to the 16-minute IMAX trailer playing August 21st will be distributed online. Tickets to a free screening of a trailer. Are available for free on Monday. And we’re reporting it on a Thursday.
The extended trailer, featuring an on-camera intro by director James Cameron, hits 101 Imax venues in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 21 in a promo push announced at the recent Comic-Con International confab in San Diego. On the same date, theaters worldwide will begin showing more conventional 2D and 3D “Avatar” trailers.
“It will be two tickets to a customer to keep people from hoarding,” Fox distribution boss Bruce Snyder said Wednesday. “We expect a tremendous amount of interest from the fans who are aware of ‘Avatar.’ ”
The extended “Avatar” trailer will play just before and after separately ticketed performances for Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” At most of the specialty venues, the trailer will be shown between 6-7 p.m., running twice within the hour span. “I think it’s going to be a bit of a stampede,” Imax Filmed Entertainment chief Greg Foster said. “But I can’t wait for everyone to see the footage.” [THR]
I’ll be showing up hours early with my hair slicked, a fresh shave, and a fancy seersucker suit with a carnation in the pocket. I gotta look my best for the ladies, and with an extended trailer for a movie that doesn’t come out until December, I’m sure it will absolutely be wall to wall poontang.

Studio already bought cow, now milk for all it’s worth.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
I think it’s going to be a bit of a stampede
More like bulls on parade.

Wall to wall poontang, indeed! Greg Foster already admitted the Omega Mu’s are coming! Couple that with the old lady that cleans the bathrooms taking out her dentures, and you have every fuckwit virgin’s wet dream cum true!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, THE ONLY WAY THIS COULD BE MORE GAY IS IF THEY CGI PEREZ HILTON IN FELLATING THE MACHINE GUN!!!
What’s the etiquette for a 16-minute trailer? Are you allowed to talk or use your phone?
Wall to wall pussy might not be a good thing, depending on the size of the pussy.
I opted for wall to wall poontang in my basement rather than wallpaper. I already had the obligatory necklace, and my OCD wouldn’t let me throw the rest away.
That’s all I last is about 16 minutes. at best.
I once watched a trailer for 16 minutes, but then the fire department put out the meth lab blaze.
I hear Adult Swim is still putting on 16-minute trailers for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.
I’m a nerd, and I still don’t get the crazy hype for this movie.
Plus, I have a hard time trusting the guy whose last movie was Titanic.
By the way guys, completely unrelated, but did you know Billy Mays died of ME?!
Sugar wall to sugar wall poontang?
“The 16-minute trailer” is what they called the place for conjugal visits in the jail I once toured.
There wasn’t so much IMAX in that trailer as Climax.
The extended “Avatar” trailer will play just before and after separately ticketed performances for Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
To think, these Avatards in the audience will be called dumb ass nerds for buying ticket FOR A TRAILER by a group of Harry Potter fans.
Is poontang what horny astronauts crave?
This is ass backwards… Harry Potter fans are girls. Weird and sexless, meet weird and sexless.
This was the same strategy used for Gleaming the Cube.
I still don’t trust it. I mean, they could put together a 16-minute trailer for ‘Transformers 2′ that included every single part of the movie that didn’t make me want to strangle puppies. Of course, that’s only 16 minutes out of 2 1/2 hours.
Ok yeah, in fairness they would have had to show several parts more than once and hoped that the audience wouldn’t notice, but still…
This is roughly the same price as two tickets to paradise. Well, you have to add in the cost of Rohypnol, but still.
can you make a van of it?
