[Movie] Avatar (2009) - BZ wants your nub

In the original script (I don't have the link on me) unobtanium had a legitimate name, but was coined unobtanium because it was a pain to get. The name stuck.

I agree though, in the movie it just came off as somewhat ridiculous.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Here's the original scriptment to which I was referring: Avatar Scriptment by James Cameron

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, floating mountains make more sense when you know that superconductors float in magnetic fields. So with a big magnetic field and lotsa unobtainium, the floating mountains aren't quite as absurd.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yea, but it looks fuckin' cool.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Good point. On the other hand Gone With the Wind is a pretty piss-poor comparison since no one had a fucking VCR in the 40s. How else were they going to watch it other than going to the theatre?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
