This is a man who knows his audience, clearly. What do Avatar fans want? Prehensile dick tails, big wet cat eyes, and boobs, apparently. But I was curious to see if Cameron was right - if people really would care that much if Zoe Saldana's alien character, Neytiri, were as flat as a chalkboard. So I did a little test:
Yes. Yes they would.

ugh.
