that doesn’t seem to be the same thing, I skimmed most of the article, but that speech is about restricting what hardware can do , not making hardware unavailable to general people so that we become dependent on “cloud computing”

I am the world’s shittiest polyglot. I lost a lot of my native language, turkish. I can get by. I speak english, but my accent is getting worse. I studied german in school for 5 years and forgot most of it. I live in the river plate, so the shitty amount of intermediate spanish I can speak has one of the worst accents for spanish, just behind tied first of caribbean and chilean. I can READ cyrillic, but not understand it, except few words whichever language has in common with languages I know. I can recognize some chinese glyphs, and understand some words.
I have no idea about any grammar words except the obvious ones (verb, noun) and get as much use of IPAs as I do IPAs (the pronunciation guide/the beer)
I have seen the vowel chart a billion times and still don’t understand it.

Firstly, thanks for being an accomplished person and choosing to spend your time in an online place where you hopefully share some interesting things people don’t know.
Secondly, congrats on the Oscar!
Thirdly, lots of questions.
- how do you feel about this whole thing; participating in the making of a film that ended up with the reputation that it has (seen as not significant culturally, but excellent technically and financially successful)?
- Were you assigned to work on this by your work, be it through a “boss” or through an “agent”, or did you seek out the role you had (and what was it that you did, if you want to share)?
- Did you personally enjoy the plot (of any of the avatar films) and is it one of your favourite films (as a fan or as a filmmaker)?
- Did you end up reading the entire script for the ones you haven’t seen at some point? Did you like the story? Do you think you’ll see them after you’re done “getting over” the burnout?
After close to 9 years of every work day somehow tracing back to one or the other film, the overwhelming feeling at the completion of Avatar 3 was relief, above all else.
I know that feel :) Obv not 9 years worth, but I understand the feeling.
Finally… are you going back for 4+5? Why for either response.
Thanks for all your time, regardless of if you respond.
Oh PS : I recently made a comment that the best use of 3d in film is when they add depth into the shots, and not when things are “popping out of the screen at you”, but people aren’t willing to interface with this in a subtle way, which is why it kinda fizzled. Do you agree with my view on how 3d can be best used, and do you think we might get it to come around again and actually be used “properly”?

- Comment on Avatar - (the blue people one) a community for all things Pandora! 3 days ago:
But he and his writers have embraced a more simplified, broad-stroke approach to character and dialogue, one which puts the movies right on the border between telling stories with universal appeal and simply rehashing familiar tropes, including many copied over from Cameron’s previous films.
If the Avatar series’ impact starts diminishing the moment the movies leave theaters, that might be because they’re not meant to be seen any other way
Jesus christ, that’s more damning than anything I wrote against the fucking films as a person forced to see the first one twice when it came out by my shittiest girlfriend.
You’re pulling me back towards the hater side and away from the “well played cameron” side.

Alright. With the uptick in memes and shit, I think I can start to appriciate that after the third film, Avatar might actually be starting to make a cultural impact. Now, if that’s because of disney paying people to talk about it and make memes and shit, who knows.

it’s implied she’s cheating, at least be the loved boyfriend instead of the best cheating partner. IDFK, it’s a meme.

If they don’t have enough pride in their restaurant to do those two things, your best-case is now mediocre. Leave! You’re better than Pepsi and margarine, friends.
Coke is the fake shit, I’m not stanning pepsi, but fuck the assholes at coke for assuming they own the planet.

oh gods no, you know what came with my perfect pitch? a little man screaming EEEE constantly at E12 in my ear, so i can tune off of his E. that bastard.
Nope. I don’t care what inconvenience you think that is, having complete command over my favourite field of art means that would be worth it, you privileged git.
This comes across the same way as Adam Neely’s “you don’t want perfect pitch bro, because you’ll eventually lose it”. Yeah, instead of having my career be a software tester, I could have had the world of music as a career , oh no.
