And look, I posted Avatar news without saying anything even slightly negative about it. In fact, here’s a useful video so all you Avatar fans can turn yourselves into Na’vis in a mere 10 seconds!
See? I can be fair-minded and informative. Thanks to Paul F. for the video tip. Aaa! AAAAAA! (Via Hollywood Reporter)
