NO, I don’t think avatar even looks all that great/ emotionally attaching.
Titanic did so well finacially because people wanted to see it over and over.
I mean come on..avatar is based off a little kids tv show.
lame.. just, no.
As far as I can tell the movie hasn’t been made yet, so i’m pretty sure those outside of th normal release schedule haven’t seen it. and yeah Jane Eyre probably won’t be the best film of 2011, but rating it based on your opinions on the book is unjust to the director.
I’m a freshman at university and i’m pretty thankful that I didn’t apply to my school’s college of communication to pursue a film major.
Ultimately, yes, I would like to be a filmmaker, but I’ve already experienced some of the students who are tentative film majors and i’m not moved.
The problem with young adults who are so adamant about being in the film industry is that they forget that a decent part of filmmaking is conceptualizing and visualizing films…
In my opinion, taking interesting classes and having a seemingly irrelevant major for undergrad is the best route…
To the statement – “I believe in being excellent in one area than being decent in all areas”,
How can you make interesting and creative movies if you’re not well versed in certain fields of study? My favorite filmmakers are also great thinkers… then again, I don’t know your exact plans for the film industry.
I agree with the networking, however.. I know a couple people who went to NYU for grad school and if you have the money for it, and the grades for it, you really meet people. Which is why, in four years, I intend to go to a good grad school…
Until then i’m just watching movies, joining film clubs, sliding a few film classes into my schedule, etc…
To summarize: If you don’t pursue a film major in undergrad there are still ways to improve your film skills. You say that game design is the only other thing you would attempt, but college is all about trying new things…

why do some movies have ratings when they're still in pre-production? about 2 years ago
this website should close off ratings until the film’s first screening.
