Yay!

Also, I hear there will be more of the sex scene on the DVD. But it will have been meant to be pg13 whatever that means. But apparently they do connect their USB connectors together.

Also, there is lots of side boob in the movie if that's something you like.

OMG! Unobtanium does exist!

"In engineering, fiction, or thought experiments, unobtainium is a humorous concept for any extremely rare, costly, or physically impossible material needed to fulfill a given design for a given application. The properties of any particular unobtainium depend on the intended use. For example, a pulley made of unobtainium might be massless and frictionless. However, if used in a nuclear rocket, unobtainium would be light, strong at high temperatures, and resistant to radiation damage."

Wow, totally a real element.

Also: WOO! Sequels!

There's a huge starcraft / james cameron crossover, the shuttle pilot from starcraft is a complete rip off of the pilot from Aliens, complete with several lines of dialog being ripped off word for word. So I can sure see why you'd make that connection.

Which brings up ye olde "ripoff/homage" debate. I think Penny Arcade did a strip about it.

Actually, Starcraft was based on a combination of the Space Marines from both Warhammer 40K and Aliens, much like Warcraft had a suspicious resemblance to Warhammer.

Why couldn't the humans breathe the atmosphere on pandora. Was that ever explained? Or is it in the avatar encyclopedia?
