Due to less availability of Avatar on theaters, aLOT of filipinos instead are just gonna buy CAM COPIES of the movie from stands and unless you know what was Avatar and how it was made, you will very much less appreciate it to watch on TV in a very bad quality material. In short, it's just like throwing Mr. James Cameron's epic work on a garbage. No, it’s not just that.

With my line of work, we don't get a lot of long days off except during the Holiday Season. We have planned to watch Avatar with my wife but this film fest has ruined it. I also like to support the Filipino movies but I always find foreign movies to be better. Unlike my childhood, I no longer laugh at Filipino jokes in movies, they no longer make sense or appeal to me. I just hope they get these "forced films to watch" out of the cinemas before we resume work on January 4. I’m disappointed myself.

Avatar is so goddamn amazing and is a must-watch film from James Cameron, after 14 years of developing it. But was only screened for just a week and alot of people are gonna miss it, they are just going to watch it on TV with a pirated DVD obviously, and it's going to ruin the hard work of the film. As a result, the movie cant be appreciated with a cam copy of the movie.

We went all around the Metro and most of the theaters were dead, as in maybe 20-30 people in line. I hope they get back to the regular blockbusters soon! Cheers!
