She had some lady-anger fueling her motivation to get back at the insensitive scarface leader, since she was obviously THE BEST pilot with no credit whatsoever. When she went rogue, people didn't even notice she was missing. In the future, are women invisible in the workplace? Avatar made Rodriguez slip between time and space without being noticed, and it sure made Sigourney look like a pain-in-the-ass hippie diva.

James Cameron Honored by PETA for an Animal-Free Avatar:
Congratulations, Mr. Cameron! We love that PETA views CGI as cruelty-free. It's true, animals probably don't like 16-hour days of endless takes. An elephant doesn't fit in a trailer during break. Tigers show no fondness for craft services. There's been evidence that some TV dogs have taken to the limelight (Lassie; the Frasier dogs Moose and Enzo), but in films, where sometimes the storyline calls for difficult and even dangerous tasks for all kinds of animals, CGI is definitely the way to go.

So it is time for all the biologists who have not yet done so to shut their laptops and run from their laboratories directly to the movie theaters, put on 3-D glasses and watch the film “Avatar.” In fact, anyone who loves a biologist or may want to be one, or better yet, anyone who hates a biologist — and certainly everyone who has ever sneered at a tree-hugger — should do the same. Because the director James Cameron’s otherworldly tale of romance and battle, aliens and armadas, has somehow managed to do what no other film has done. It has recreated what is the heart of biology: the naked, heart-stopping wonder of really seeing the living world.

If you sync to your banshee and you're syncing to a tree, why not sync into a person? I almost feel like you'll have the most amazing orgasm, I guess. It was a very funny scene to shoot because there were so many technical things that sometimes you have to keep in mind that paying attention to all those might disrupt the fluidity of how a scene is supposed to take place.

In Avatar, the Na'vi are portrayed as a Stone Age tribe, living in relatively small groups and essentially ignorant or uninterested in technology beyond simple knives and bows. But the Na'vi are also very physically capable, obviously very intelligent, aware of their global environment, well-nourished, healthy, omnivorous, adaptive, and even inventive. They have domesticated animals, are troubled by few serious natural predators, can live in different environments, have easy access to many varied natural resources (for sustenance and building/making), and can travel and therefore communicate over long distances (dozens if not hundreds of miles a day on their winged animals).

When the vacation is over i will certainly recommend Avatar to all my friends, i will tell them: I think that this is the best movie ever created, and if you dont go se it you would have lost a chance of live to se somthing so perfect that you cant imagine it! The grafics the history and the war about resources is the best part of the movie, and just that thing that James Cameron has taked the war with him is fantastic couse, its what is happening on Earth right now, and the thing that the Na'vi is living in peace with the nature and gives back all what they take is the way of life we should live! Couse if we dont do anything soon the time of the Human is !OVER! So go se the movie and you will understand so much more about what is happening here on Earth and what may gonna happen! who knows?
