December 18th is right around the corner, and for everyone interested in film that means one thing... only one more week til Sherlock Holmes. Gotcha! Of course I'm talking about the long anticipated release of James Cameron's so-called revolutionary film Avatar. Claiming to change the world of 3D forever, this past year Avatar has been one of the most talked about films of all-time, not to mention the relentless publicity that's about as hard to avoid as a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris.

With just over a month until its release, the advertising onslaught continues here with this new TV spot from the Cameron camp. I use the term “TV spot” loosely because it's a minute and a half long and spots that long cost a damn pretty penny unless you're looking at showing it during a mid-day Lifetime original movie. But you can expect to start seeing both one minute as well as 30 second versions popping up just about every time your favorite shows go to commercial for the next T-minus 39 days and counting.

The spot features mostly familiar footage with some extended scenes showing off a bit more of what seems to be a popular occurrence in the film, Na'vi jumping off of really high ledges. You'll also here some new soundtrack stuff which sounds great, but doesn't quiet say “intense” like the other promos have.

Seeing all this publicity starting to ramp up makes me glad the majority of my TV watching is via DVR or Hulu. I hate being inundated with so much information about a movie that it makes me not want to see it, and I'm sure that's what would happen if I had to see this spot as much as I'm sure regular TV watchers will. God speed my friends.
