U know, they should have made the aliens disgusting jellyfish creatures who live in clouds of methane. Wouldn't that be awesome?
Cameron would still be adamant that they had to have breasts

Which makes me wonder why the hell he didn't just get Paul Reiser. I imagine he's just sitting at home watching Food Network or something.

Imagine how awesome this movie would be if they replaced Sam Worthington with Kenan Thompson.

Isn't Paul Reiser now bald and fat? From what I recall, that pretty much precludes him from ever being in a James Cameron movie again.

You know, the game cover image is ten thousand times better than the actual stills because this really DOES look like a cover of a game from 1986 or something:

Actually, going back to my first post on this whole thing:
Both actors have signed on for possible future installments as well because Cameron and Fox see "Avatar" as a potential franchise.

Another old quote from way up near the start:
Said Cameron: “We know the oncology and composition of the atmosphere, the geography and species of plants, the culture and the history of the Na’vi people.”

“Yes,” Cameron said flatly. “The atmosphere has to have an appropriate mix of nitrogen and oxygen in the troposphere to ensure that vertebrates who don't have gills can develop via accepted evolution-based theories.”
