Decided to watch Avatar because I still want to see the new one. Once again the effects hold up.

Although it does remind me that people need to talk to evolutionary biologists and paleontologists more often on creature design.

It bugs me sometimes when you're watching what is supposed to be an alien world and not only are almost all the creatures modeled on familiar animal body plans but aren't even ones adapted to the presented environment.

have you seen the video essay on all the work put into the music and making it as alien as possible?

Nope.

Is it like how the kookaboora is used as a quintessential "jungle" bird in Foley?

Why Avatar has the Most Ironic Soundtrack of All Tim...

nah it's about how they did so much and then threw it out

Yeah. Music has its own version of uncanny valley.

What happened with Avatar's soundtrack is a travesty

Wait, no, I think I might've been thinking of a different movie. :|a
