A report on MarketSaw supposedly confirmed by Fox says that the final running time for James Cameron’s Avatar is 161 minutes. Which, if my math is correct, is approximately two hours and eighty-six minutes. On this issue, I’m a little torn like your mom after a day’s work. These days it seems like the trend is toward over-long movies. One of the things I liked about Bruno was that they cut it to 82 minutes. Inglourious Basterds was great, but about 15 minutes too long. Ditto Funny People. Even The Hurt Locker would’ve been just a tiny bit better if they’d ended it on the shot of Jeremy Renner in the cereal aisle. Therefore, even though I’m not in the Avatar-is-going-to-suck camp just yet, the prospect of three hours of cat people doesn’t exactly thrill me like Icy Hot on the scrotum.
The counter point is of course Braveheart, which was awesome even at two hours and fifty-nine minutes. Therefore, I would argue that a good rule of thumb when you’re making a movie is to keep it under two hours. Unless the movie’s about men in skirts, in which case the rule goes out the window, and the thumb goes in my ass.

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
/ Obligatory
your math is awful
math is the stath of nerds
Argentino watches movies with guys in skirts. But, he only watches like a minute 12.
before he splooges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even The Hurt Locker would’ve been just a tiny bit bitter if they’d ended it on the shot of Jeremy Renner in the cereal aisle.
Is that meant to be bitter or better? I must say it would really be bitter if he stayed home.
What is He supposed to do for the other 159 minutes?
As long as the story is progressing, and keeps me engaged a three hour plus film is not an issue. The extended cut of Dances with Wolves and Apocalypse Now: Redeux are some good examples. Sure, the added elements are ancillary, extraneous even, and certainly not vital for the advancement of the plot, but they add a depth and richness to the story that I enjoy and welcome.
Er…I mean… Fuck blue cat people homo Rodriguez space copter dildo rockets!
Every one minute of Old Dogs is like seven human minutes.
Fek, like every other person who watches porn, i ffw to the good parts, so there aren´t any 159 minutes.
Arg, are you implying that there are bad parts in porn?
The last long movie I saw in the theater was LOTR: Return of the King, and that movie made me cry.
You see, when I came back from the bathroom, I sat on my balls.
Yes Chino, we call them cocks.
Alfred Hitchcock once said “The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder”.
He also said “Movies about blue cat people are fucking ridiculous”.
My avatar could never last 3 hours.
/whiskey dick
‘Swi! That’s the best part!
To Andrew Lloyd Weber, this movie is porn.
HOLY SHIT!!! The page looks normal and the pics loaded and everything!!

Heh heh, you said cock AND dick.
Nevermind, back to abnormal :(
Oh you didn’t hear? Mel Gibson is making Braveheart 2. Of course he’ll be playing Hitler.
Forty-five minutes of this movie is a still frame of James Cameron gesturing towards his crotch.
How much better would this movie be if it was Crappy’s avatar ravaging that stupid planet? Lots, I say. Lots.
Cameron admits to making it so long so that you’ll better identify with the character who has no feeling in his legs.
Alfred Hitchcock also said, “Extra cheese please.’
That is not the best part Chino, but it does spend most of its time on screen in close proximity to the best part.
No, I don’t mean testicles.
Taint?
There ya go.
The Mighty Feklahr assumes Mort is working hard on the furry blog.
161 minutes? That’s longer than Tobey Maguire’s nutsack!
I’m calling it.. you’ll read it right here first.. tooooo much going on. Screen too cluttered…to much to watch at the same time…. someone in California will suffer a seizure and then multiple people will get seizures… the hype will outweigh the movie and it will suck… F James Cameron… He’s masturbating onto the screen and charging people to see it happen… I hate it already…..
All this Avatar and cock talk is giving me blue kitty.
Things that made the 3-hour Titanic bearable: a guy bouncing off a propeller, and Kate’s boobs.
Their Avatar equivalents: fake pterodactyls and M-Rod’s hairy chest. No thanks, Jim.
My avatar’s got a running time of about three months right now. That reminds me, I gotta start looking for a new pic.
“Unless the movie’s about men in skirts, in which case the rule goes out the window, and the thumb goes in my ass.”
Just curious; what’s the rule on Loin Cloths?
Where does one’s thumb go then?
My avatar could use some serious running time.
hehe tee hee
*splooge*
It’s still *splooge* right? Ya know, that thing I miss most about how fucked up this site is now, is
getting the photos having page be readable/navigable having readable fontsDonk’s avi.Chino, actually since the invention of the youporn, there´s no more bad parts. Unless you´re seeing gay bear porn.
I didn’t mean that, Chino. I don’t care what you look like, baby. I just want you to be around for a long, long time.
“Chino, actually since the invention of the youporn, there´s no more bad parts. Unless you´re seeing gay bear porn.”
… and then there are only AMAZING parts
Poon up!
I called a bear gay once. He made me his “honey” and stuck his dick where i go “Pooh.”
New up for the fellas! *
