So, I heard somewhere around here that 2 hours ended up on the cutting room floor. We all know that the sex scene was one of those lost scenes - extended edition anyone?

And I've been looking over the vocab, and I'm really interested as to the nature of more of the scenes. For instance, we've run across uniltaron a few times - dream hunt. The Guide has a lot of stuff about this, including scorpion bites and finding your tirea ioang (spirit animal) and all that.

Anyone have any input on this, or other possible scenes? Personally, I think Jake might have envisioned a Toruk, hence his decision.

Maybe more footage from "Jake's Training". Also heard about some scene that was supposed to be a first person freerunning sequence with neytiri at night prior to the release. In 3d that would be awesome.

The survival guide also has some fauna and flora not shown to us in the movie. Like the slinger, the sturmbeest, the medusa and the big evil fish. I think these could be shown in the cut scenes, although I am not certain. But the sex scene is indeed included in the DVD, from what I've read.
Is this right? I just write whatever in the signature box?

According to an interview with James Cameron (I will post the link once I find it again), they cut some of the sex scene, a hunting sequence (hunting talioang (sturmbeest) from the back of ikran), and a drunk scene...and maybe a few more. Two hours of cuts, you say?

Drunk scene? This will totally screw the "Navi are flawless?" thread ;)

I'd like to see that as well, if only because i have a friend who won't shut up about if just jumping on a Toruk's back was how you could make the bond, more than 5(6 with jake) people would do it.

He won't listen to my explanations of not only was it probably more difficult than that, since we didn't see it, but also the Toruk is sacred to the Na'vi people and no one would try to bond with it frivolously, wich is further supported by the fact that Jake set him free when they kicked the humans off Pandora.

But they aren't flawless. They even occasionally go to war with one another, according to the guidebook. XD

Search for the thread. Read it. You'll see what I mean. Warning: it gets deep over there.

If they go the route that the Lord of the Rings did, you'll have every Avatar Nerd die in sight of a BestBuy. If the DVD had 2 extra hours of film, fully edited into the feature film, then my mind would explode. Imagine the commentary for it too. Now all we need is the Avatar script, maybe with bits of Project 880, written as a novel. Not just some script copy with pictures!!

Provided the writer they got was two things:

1. A good writer. So many movie novelizations are written by REALLY. BAD. WRITERS.

2. Actually care about/like the film in the first place. Half the time they're this broke contract/ghost writer type who needs the work. Naturally, the end result isn't very good.

The Survival Guide has a mention regarding a mild intoxicant the Na'vi consume. So it could very well be the Na'vi.

I have actually heard that James Cameron was hoping to write the novelization.

Dear god i hope so.  dear GOD.

Hopefully the novelisations won't turn into the halo debacle.

A couple of the Halo ones are surprisingly good. Novelization debacle=Star Wars.

Alternate/extended ending would be nice. After the battle, not the soul change part.
