    “The suit, filed by actor Q’orianka Kilcher, alleges that Cameron ‘extracted her facial features’ and ‘directed his design team’ to base the key Avatar character Neytiri on her appearance after seeing her in an LA Times advert for Terrence Malick’s 2005 film The New World.”

    All the New World vultures lack a syrinx (voice-box). So if you're watching a movie and hear the "cry" of a turkey vulture, it's fake. They *can* hiss & grunt. Turkey Vultures have an amazing olfactory system, centered around PERFORATED NOSTRILS that increase passive air flow. See the daylight?

    This sucks. I’ve been reading @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social for 20 years, since he championed Malick’s The New World. He’s one of the great enthusiasts in film criticism, who will go to the wall for what moves him regardless of what others think. I don’t always agree but I always enjoy reading him.

    Will lightly tweak this and say that movies were basically _opera_ instead of theater. Music accompaniment predates talkies, etc. IMHO, as the television grew, the relationship to film changed, so by the 60s/70s we are in The New World for movies.

    Something I’m learning while researching for ‘Top 5 Directors’ is how important a single film can be if you have a smaller catalog. For example, Terrence Malick ascends to brilliant heights, and if he’s in consideration for the distinction of Top 5, “The New World” is the linchpin film. Is it good?
