Very stupid. But as explained up thread, "Unobtainium" was a jokey working title for the substance that ended up sticking :(

Unobtanium has a long, long sci-fi history, as stupid as the name may be.

he didn't even bother coming up with a new name! it'd be like calling a dude in your mystery movie "macguffin"
― chartres (goole), Monday, 11 January 2010 05:05 (fourteen years ago) link
i kinda wishe'd done that. also should have named the protagonist gyro goodman

what the fuck is going on with this movie. i went to go see buy a ticket yesterday and there was a lineup zigzagging through the entire theater, through the adjacent tim horton's, and out the door into the freezing cold then around the corner. hasn't it been out for a month already?
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 11 January 2010 05:12 (fourteen years ago) link
oh and james horner is still horrible
― chartres (goole), Monday, 11 January 2010 05:14 (fourteen years ago) link
and i thought this movie would be the go-to punchline to jokes about box office failures for the next few years.

wonder if cameron found a wish-granting mermaid on one of his deep sea dives
― latebloomer, Monday, 11 January 2010 05:19 (fourteen years ago) link
he was probably blue and eight feet long

i'm starting to feel really bad for the avatar last airbender people that they didn't get their movie out first, those guys are fucked now
― some dude, Monday, 11 January 2010 13:58 (fourteen years ago) link
they're just calling it "the last airbender" now. anyway it's being directed by m. night shyamalan so it was fucked to begin with.

^^^^^ this. How much longer can he ride The Sixth Sense to make shitty film after shitty film? I'm assuming thats the only one of his movies that did enough box office bank to keep allowing this to happen.

not to turn this into a Shyamalan thread, but Signs made a ton of money too and as directors go he's still probably one of the more consistently profitable ones out there, regardless of how divisive he is
― some dude, Monday, 11 January 2010 15:42 (fourteen years ago) link
I forgot about Signs, but I was under the impression that his last couple had really tanked.

nah happening was a minor hit US-wise and did well internationally, lady in the water is his only real stink bomb (with The Village actually doing pretty good for a movie with no stars about scared quakers in the woods or wtfever, really)

A post by a user called Elequin expresses an almost obsessive relationship with the film."That's all I have been doing as of late, searching the Internet for more info about 'Avatar.' I guess that helps. It's so hard I can't force myself to think that it's just a movie, and to get over it, that living like the Na'vi will never happen. I think I need a rebound movie," Elequin posted.

Who would have ever guessed that Hollywood's problem was not that blockbusters were too big, but that they weren't BIG ENOUGH! Now's the time for you aspiring filmmakers to pitch your own $500 million movies.
