Cameron is apparently so dedicated to quality that each version will be split across two discs. Now, nine hours of film is probably reaching for a normal DVD, but I admire that whoever made that decision chose not to compress them to make them fit.

Also - and this is the cynic in me speaking - a "3-Disc Edition" is more appealing than just a "2-Disc".

Ah the old PC vs Mac trope, how I've missed you.  Given the topic at hand though, I must admit the PC market has that going for it.  Well played.

Hey guys, just got clued into the podcast and have been on a marathon run listening to various shows.

Just finished the Avatar one and was wondering if anyone actually watched the Director's  Cut and, more importantly, the near hour of deleted scenes? If so, have they changed your opinion of the movie? I ask because those scenes answer many of the problems the crew seem to collectively had.

Off the top of my head the viewer is shown (or told) the current state of Earth, what unobtanium means to Earth (and Pandora), why Norm (the other main Avatar) did a 180 and Calmed The F---Down, the Navi being responsible for human deaths, Natiri's (sp?) backstory with Sigurney Weaver, and a whole dropped storyline of the other Avatars at the base.

Well worth watching if youre a fan of the film. Like one of the team, I didn't see all the animals helping at the end and still mark out huge for that.

is there video footage of him saying he ripped off the guy, like there was of him saying he ripped off some old Outer Limits episodes for The Terminator?
