“Yes,” Cameron said flatly. “They have to have tails.”

Oh wait, another one from that first link:
“We’re telling the story of what happens when a technologically superior culture comes into a place with a technologically inferior indigenous culture and there are resources there that they want,” said Cameron. “It never ends well.“It’s also a love story about an awakening of perception through the other person. That person must teach him something and there has to be a greater reason for him to be in love with her other than she’s a hot blue alien chick.”

I hope this means an introductory scene where they tell Sam Worthington's character they picked him because of his hot blue chick fetish.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 December 2009 20:26 (fourteen years ago) link
If you have such an unfortunate fetish, this movie must be a godsend. "Finally, something for ME."

Based on that quote from Cameron, he already did those cartoons when he was 15.

The more you know... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andorian
In the Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, four-person Andorian marriages were extrapolated into four sexes--the two roughly male thaan and chan, and the two female-like shen and zhen. The novels imply that the rarity of compatible foursomes produced extremely low reproduction rates which, in tandem with genetic weaknesses, led to the species' near extinction.

You are one sick puppy, Mr. Cameron.

You think for the amount of money Cameron has to play with he could afford something a bit nicer than a friggin' Behringer Eurorack mixer.

so you can pick up unobtainium, but you can't sit it on a desk, it has to hover on a special levitation coaster?

^^ this! I have been actively wishing for this film's complete crash and burn ever since I saw the first trailer, and the feeling only gets stronger every day.

unobtainium

People have been gunning so hard for this to fail that it almost makes me want to see it succeed.
But then I glance back at those screen shots and I'm all "fuck this shit"

“It came from all the science-fiction books I read when I was a kid and it just gestated over time,” he said. “I did a lot of fantasy art and I had drawers full of drawings of creatures, characters, robots, spaceships and all that sort of thing. So for me I was just going back to my roots.”
To be fair that is EXACTLY what this movie looks like: a bored 6th grade kid's notebook doodlings.
― unified theory of objectionable thoughts (latebloomer), Friday, 4 December 2009 07:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I seriously want someone to ask Cameron about the unobtainium hover coasters, since every element of this film is so painstakingly reasoned and all.

SPOILERS, if anyone cares
Over time, Jake integrates himself into the Na'vi clan, and begins to fall in love with Neytiri. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth and the Na’vi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of Pandora and the Na'vi.
Which side will he choose, I REALLY CANNOT GUESS.

I just feel that needs repeating every ten post or so. Unobtainium - get some if you can.
I was thinking that there Cameron goes on about the atmosphere and culture and etc. and I'm thinking, "Okay sure it wasn't a setting you originally devised but in Aliens you just threw in some gunk about terraforming for two seconds and that's all anyone needed and anyone WANTED."
