3 bizarre but fascinating facts about the movie Avatar

I loved this movie. It had amazing special effects, and a neat little anti-Bush pro indigenous, pro-environment message that was rarely preachy and balanced with humour. And of course, like everyone else, I have loved James Cameron since Terminator. So I was just googling around and found these 3 bizarre but fascinating facts about the movie that I'd like to share, in case you didn't know either.

1) Creating computer-generated boobs is apparently harder than one might think. It took a team of hundreds of designers a whole decade to perfect breasts for the character Neytiri, who is a motion-captured rendition of actress Zoe Saldana.

2)The movie’s deleted sex scene between Neytiri and Jake featured pre-marital tentacle sex ... Yes they have sex by joining the tendrils on their tails. (Makes you wonder what's under the loin cloths) This is disturbing to know, after seeing them plug their tail tendrils into plants and animals thoughout the movie. Like ICK. Glad they cut that one.

3) I had no idea that the Vatician Newspaper L'Osservatore Romano and radio station reviewed the movie Avatar (apparenlty they also review the simpsons--go figure) They didn't like it. Good thing they didn't know about the tail-sex thing.

LMAO!!! Oh yeah, they would definitely not have liked THAT.

There's some heavy-duty Catholic doctrine and/or dogma in that regard, especially if the "act" were recreative, not procreative.

But it does give "piece of tail" a new context. :0
