Am I the only one that thinks Avatar is going to crash and burn? Really none of the previews have done anything for me. They've already given the plot away - even though it was pretty obvious from day one. Cool special effects but really not much else.

I really want to check out Stargate Universe. I haven't watched any of it yet.

I knew the guy that did the martial arts choreography for the Avatar cartoon series. I wonder if they used him for the movie. I kinda doubt it. He used to a putty on power rangers back in the day.

Interesting guy. I too think the movie will flop.

I don't see anything that I'm particularly looking forward to.

Lol, woops. I forgot that the Avatar Airbender live action movie isn't slotted until 2010 and I had forgotten about that other movie. Looked interesting for eye candy but I doubt it'll be much more.

I'm curious about Sci-Fi's Alice. should be interesting. THough it wasn't going to get an Oscar, their 'Tin Man' was an interesting take on the Oz stories.

This Avatar movie is going to have to work real hard not to fail economically, I've heard tell it's costing a butt-ton to make, like $300 million. IT's going to be tough to make a profit on that one...

Also looking forward to Alice. I liked Tin Man but I wish there were more to it. It's kinda like something was missing but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Kinda wanna see the new Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr even though I hate that guy.

we have alice marked on the calendar already. lol

my g/f is obsessed with alice in wonderland.

I have to say Stargate Universe is working for me.

I liked the other SG series as well, and this one is definitely more relaxed. Humorous at times.

It'll be cool to see where they take it.

DUDE! SG-U is awesome. Much more BSG like. I really like it. Still has some of the campiness of the other SG's (a good thing) but with a better storyline (so far).

Avatar kind of reminds me of War Hammer 40k...humans vs. everything else. Of course Avatar doesn't have the super awesome space marines!!!!!

Games Workshop is getting started on a cgi film centered on an Ultramarines story. Dan Abnet from Black Library is doing the script.

So it seems I'm not the only table top gamer on the board...
