Avatar: True Facts

  • The entire film was created on a MacBook Pro with a pirated copy of Adobe After Effects.

  • This is Sigourney Weaver's 73rd reprise of her role as a woman in outer space.

  • Unbeknownst to the audience, the film peppered viewers with very, very subtle political messages.

  • At nearly three hours long, the film is like suffering through six episodes of Two and a Half Men.

  • The indigenous people of Pandora were designed to resemble James Cameron's cat Fluffers.

  • The Na'vi dialect has even more apostrophes than Klingon.

  • If you were to pit people who taught themselves Na'vi against people who taught themselves Klingon, no one would win because they'd all be losers.

  • James Cameron's original title for the film was Dances With Wolves, But In Space.

Thank you. I spent most of Avatar wondering where I'd seen it before... Now I know.

I left the theater thinking "sci-fi Pocahontas".
