‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Kicks Off at the International Box Office as the World Cup Final Gets Ready to Kick Off this Weekend?🌊⚽🏆🐳

$15.8 million from 15 overseas
 markets on opening day

I threw some money into the A2 pot yesterday when the film opened in Australia when I saw it at the cinema with my younger son (who is in his late 20s).

It certainly makes Titanic seem like a short movie as far as runtime goes, but I didn't mind it, as the effects make it worthwhile, I feel.

In fact, there is a very Titanic like scene near the end of the film without trying to give too much away in spoilers.

We went into the cinema just before 2:30pm and came out at around 6:00pm.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

I must admit that my main motivation for seeing this movie was to see how much screen time my old Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks shipmate Brendan Cowell got, and whether it was more screentime he got than his appearance in GoT:-)

GoT Covid?-)

GOT Life?

Brendan Cowell in Game of Thrones

And to my surprise he got quite a lot in the second half, to put it in football terms, but I'll bet he will be spending time on the bench after coming off with a nasty injury that could take some time to heal before A3 hits the screen next year:-)

GoT Whale?-)

I'd like to buy a Scoresby action figure with detachable body parts;-)

"No branch of Zoology is so much involved as that which is entitled Cetology," says Captain Scoresby, A.D. 1820.

Moby Dick: Chapter 32

Everyone who dies in Avatar 2?

Well, I happen to know Brendan has a part in A3 ... and possibly A4 ... so if he did die in A2 he must be coming back as a ghost;-)

World Cup 2022: Argentina and France

Just a little harmless humour aimed at old SCORESby:-P

Ilu Large Plush – Avatar: The Way of Water

Wouldn't it make more sense (cents) having blow-up pool toys than plush beanbags? 
I think another old mate of mine at 'The Secret Sun' blog will be eating his words in a couple more weeks about A2:-P

Blue Christmas?🎄🐦

I think Argentina are in for a Blue Christmas:-)

I think Chris is in for a Blue Christmas somehow when it comes to A2, too:-)

Get ready to eat your words Christopher Knowles:-P

And what a coincidence that an aquarium at the Raddison Blu hotel burst the weekend 'Avatar: The Way of Water' opens?-)

UPDATE: December 20th, 2022

I noticed a quote from Scoresby in the novel 'Moby Dick':-)
