More than a movie, it's a way of life

You get the feeling that some people will end up staying on Pandora forever, or at least a padded-cell version of the fictional jungle planet.

After director-writer James Cameron's Avatar had some viewers wishing they could live on the planet of giant blue underwear models, and the movie became the new millennium's biggest hit, a sequel was inevitable.

Now comes word from 20th Century Fox that Cameron will write and direct two sequels, with the first heading our way in December 2014 and the second a year later.

But the way these people talk about their popcorn flicks gets you wondering: are they studio heads or Gods."

“Avatar is not only the highest grossing movie of all time, it is a created universe based on the singular imagination and daring of James Cameron, who also raised the consciousness of people worldwide to some of the greatest issues facing our planet,” said a couple of Fox studio suits in a release announcing the sequels.

Kind of like Jane Goodall and the apostle Paul all rolled up into one toned blue package.
