The Spectacular Emptiness of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'

Screenland with Brian Lloyd

Show Notes

The prevailing logic in theatrical releases for the past three decades has been this - never bet against Big Jim.

'Titanic', 'The Abyss', 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day', 'True Lies' even? Come on. James Cameron is a force of nature. He has set the standard for blockbusters, so why the hell is 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' just so lacklustre and uninspired? Has he lost his touch? Is it simply his willingness to prove a point outpacing his ability to make a good movie? More to the point, who actually gives a shit anymore about Pandora? There's bigger problems right here on Earth.

Elsewhere, we preview the best movies of the year - yes, I have to rewrite my list because I saw 'Marty Supreme' and yes, the hype is real - and I get actually close to tears talking about 'The Princess Bride', so stay tuned for vulnerability I guess?
