IMAX 3D Re-Release
“Titanic was called the ship of dreams. And it was. It really was.”
First time seeing it in theaters. Like seeing it for the first time ever again.
Leo was unforgivably robbed of an Oscar nod (and remains as breathtakingly, painstakingly hot as ever), as was Cameron’s script!!! Iconic line after iconic line and unparalleled story structure and set-up and payoff!!! A disgrace!!!
This is what Nicole Kidman meant when she said “we come to this place for magic.”
I can’t believe I’ve seen this movie six times and no moment has lost its magic, every emotional beat hits just as hard, and I’m still overcome with chills scene after scene after scene.
When Lo’ak and Payakan first bond with one another.
When Quaritch and his men burn the village of the first tribe they interrogate.
When Ronal’s spirit sister lets out one last wail before she’s murdered by the whalers.
When Lo’ak and the kids realize that Payakan’s…
Maybe one of the most rewatchable movies ever made??? I was absolutely obsessed with the original and saw it four times in theaters, but this was my fifth viewing of The Way of Water, and I already have a sixth watch planned for Saturday. Gotta get up to eight so I can I’ve spent 24 hours on Pandora (though I would also watch this on a loop if I could).
I’ve accepted that I not only unabashedly (and unapologetically) adore Avatar…

Just as flawless (to me) the fourth time.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to stop thinking about how the final scene makes me feel, and every time I rewatch this, I think it’ll affect me less, but somehow, it hits even harder? I think part of it is because, the more times I see Avatar: The Way of Water, the more time I spend with this family - and the more little details I pick up on…

LET’S.
GET.
IT.
DONE.
I started sobbing as soon as Neteyam and Lo’ak go back to save Spider this time because I already knew what was coming and I didn’t stop crying on and off until after that gutpunch of a final scene (I’m 😭 just 😭 happy 😭 to 😭 see 😭 you 😭) so James Cameron will be sent my therapy bills for the foreseeable future.
I love all the kids so much, and even more on every…
Avatar: The Way of Water is an awe-inspiring blend between a nature documentary and a blockbuster - a thrilling three-hour-long travelogue through the oceans of Pandora with deep feeling in its foundation and an unspeakably epic third act that will leave you breathless and in tears.
It’s just so rare to watch a blockbuster that’s both formally ambitious and full of authentic emotion. This is no “empty” epic - as James Cameron once again revolutionizes VFX, he’s also sharing a…
Well FUCK.
Top Gun: Maverick represents the best of what blockbuster filmmaking can be, brilliantly blending spectacle with sentiment to exhilarating effect, while also featuring one of Tom Cruise’s most powerful and poignant performances to date.
It’s pretty much perfect.
And this is what the movies were made for.
