By the way, the language on that picture is Japanese. I wonder why they couldn't find an Avatar picture in Chinese.
AVATAR: Too Big in China?
AVATAR's latest nemesis is Chinese bureaucrats who worry the movie may incite unrest, since Chinese viewers may link the Na'vi's plight with that of property owners facing eviction by unscrupulous real-estate developers—a link that Chinese bloggers and official press made from the start. Chine...
Before I read this, I heard about people committing suicide. I sort of understand them and sort of disagree with them. It's true that it's saddening to live in a world we're in now, but it isn't worth killing yourself at all. It's funny that I actually did feel sad after every time I saw the movie (which was 3 times). Upset that we can't enjoy such a perfect, beautiful world like Pandora. Sorry, James, but I don't think walking in our woods can make us feel better. Our woods don't have swirly plants that recoil, grounds that glow, and lizards that spin. lol
The Cure for AVATAR Blues
Did you find yourself in a funk after watching AVATAR? It might not just have been a side effect of wearing 3-D goggles—CNN has been reporting that some viewers “experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora....
James Camerom deserved those awards. He deserves awards for anything he does. He's a genius. All of his films are good. I hope he continues to make more, especially continuations of Avatar.
AVATAR Wins Big at Golden Globes
AVATAR made a big splash with the notoriously picky Hollywood Foreign Press Association, winning a best-drama Golden Globe and netting James Cameron best-director honors (just like another Cameron movie you may recall). Not that Cameron lacked confidence or anything, although he humbly said he...
To me, banning Avatar anywhere in the world should be considered blasphemy. It was a great movie that swept this nation. The rest of the world shouldn't be denied the ability to watch it. The Chinese need to realize that James Cameron intended to make a movie showing how the world should be and how the ecosystem should be treated.
Plus, I never heard about a movie depicting Confucious. And Chow Yun-fat starring in it. It sounds great.

Hell yeah I'd read the script. I'm a film major. And this was the best movie I've ever seen.
The Complete AVATAR Script Online
Fox has taken the unusual step of posting the entire AVATAR script online (PDF), allowing fans to see what was cut (the already-notorious Jake-Neytiri sex scene) as well as some boozy male bonding and stereotypes of NRA members that have drawn right-wingers' attention. At one point Tsu'tey has...

Avatar is so amazing, I'm going to see it a third time in 3-D. I'm gonna buy the game, maybe an action figure, and the special edition DVD when it comes out. You could say I'm obsessed. lol Continue reading

I'm a film major in New York (which is actually the 2nd Hollywood) and studying film is awesome but tough. It's a great career to get into but requires a lot of dedication, effort, and time. Good luck.
Is anyone else here considering going into film...
Is anyone else here considering going into film after seeing "Avatar"? For me, I guess its like when James Cameron saw "Star Wars". After experiencing "Avatar" I now know what I want to do for a career. My only regret is that "Avatar" is exactly the type of film I would have wanted to make! Curse...
I can't wait for the DVD period. I hope they put the option of watching it in 3-D in the DVD. And I hope they don't take long to release a special edition like most companies. I don't care if the special edition DVD will cost a lot. That should be the first version to be released.
Secret Scenes On the AVATAR DVD?
When Jake's avatar and Neytiri have sex, you see only a small amount of alien petting. After all, it's a movie about blue creatures, not a blue movie. But there was a larger sex scene that was filmed but then cut, and Zoe Saldana hints that it had something to do with syncing the two participa...
And by the way, James Cameron is the man if he can get the sequels out faster than it took to release this film.
AVATAR Sequel and Details Confirmed
After muttering about how an AVATAR franchise would make sense and hinting that there could be a trilogy of AVATAR films, James Cameron has confirmed that there will be an AVATAR sequel, fueling speculation about how it might top the original. Things we do know: There are two planned sequels ...
Usually films as big as this don't need sequels. The sequels ruin the storyline. But these should turn out to be good. I can't wait to see them.

It's the biggest movie ever and will be for a long time. It's got people wishing they could live as Na'vi on Pandora, including me. Or at least have Avatars.
AVATAR: How Big Will It Get?
The Vatican panned AVATAR and at least one Marine Corps officer is offended, but still: AVATAR topped domestic box-office for the fourth week and is now the second-highest grossing film of all time. It also had the biggest open China's seen despite a massive snowstorm, and now overtaking Titan...
It sounds like it can be a really good show. Can't wait.
AVATAR Headed for 3D TV in 2012?
As though AVATAR hasn't already made epic amounts of money, FX TV has purchased the basic cable rights (HBO already owns the pay-cable rights) to the flick for a cool $25–30 million, and can start airing in mid-2012. Good thing the price is probably capped or FX would have had to shell out mil...
