James Cameron: "You will have actual lust for a character that consists of pixels."

And is a blue alien.

No, seriously.

Quote:
PLAYBOY: So Saldana’s character was specifically designed to appeal to guys’ ids?
CAMERON: And they won’t be able to control themselves. They will have actual lust for a character that consists of pixels of ones and zeros. You’re never going to meet her, and if you did, she’s 10 feet tall and would snap your spine. The point is, 99.9 percent of people aren’t going to meet any of the movie actresses they fall in love with, so it doesn’t matter if it’s Neytiri or Michelle Pfeiffer.

PLAYBOY: We seem to need fantasy icons like Lara Croft and Wonder Woman, despite knowing they mess with our heads.
CAMERON: Most of men’s problems with women probably have to do with realizing women are real and most of them don’t look or act like Vampirella. A big recalibration happens when we’re forced to deal with real women, and there’s a certain geek population that would much rather deal with fantasy women than real women. Let’s face it: Real women are complicated. You can try your whole life and not understand them.

PLAYBOY: How much did you get into calibrating your movie heroine’s hotness?
CAMERON: Right from the beginning I said, “She’s got to have tits,” even though that makes no sense because her race, the Na’vi, aren’t placental mammals. I designed her costumes based on a taparrabo, a loincloth thing worn by Mayan Indians. We go to another planet in this movie, so it would be stupid if she ran around in a Brazilian thong or a fur bikini like Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C.

PLAYBOY: Are her breasts on view?
CAMERON: I came up with this free—floating, lion’s-mane—like array of feathers, and we strategically lit and angled shots to not draw attention to her breasts, but they’re right there. The animation uses a physics-based sim that takes into consideration gravity, air movement and the momentum of her hair, her top. We had a shot in which Neytiri falls into a specific position, and because she is lit by orange firelight, it lights up the nipples. That was good, except we’re going for a PG-13 rating, so we wound up having to fix it. We’ll have to put it on the special edition DVD; it will be a collector’s item. A Neytiri Playboy Centerfold would have been a good idea.
Good interview too. http://www.playboy.com/articles/jame...ex.html?page=1

Yeah, 'cause that'll be a real fuckin' breakthrough.

Cameron apparently hasn't heard of Rule 34.

I love Cameron's arrogance. Seriously. The man knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and doesn't give a **** if people disagree with him how to do it.

He talks the talk and walks the walk. I love it. ****, if he made a remake of Two Girls, One Cup, I would be there opening day.

She is a hot character though. It helps that she's played by and obviously based on Zoe Saldana.

Of course, if we did discover an alien race and they looked like that, there would be people who would want to have sex with them, whether or not that was anatomically possible. Hell, there are people who'd want to fuck the Prawns from District 9. Takes all kinds.

You guys are mostly talking about human characters though. And the only people who want to screw the female cast of Sonic the Hedgehog are fucking weirdos. So getting normal people to want to fuck a blue alien would be something of a breakthrough.

Just wait until Cameron makes a trillion dollar flick about engorged elephant cock. Kiyone will be handling shopping carts in a smoking jacket.

It would make furries mainstream.

Isn't that a guaranteed crime?

I don't think it's that remarkable. They look like large humans with blue skin and a few odd cat-like features, with what look like human personalities and movements. When he can make people lust after giant blobs with seventy eyes and tentacles, then he can brag.

She has a killer body. Maybe that's all it takes. If you say something about her blue skin, then you're racist. So what else is there to whine about? The tail? Big, whoop.

She sort of looks like the Zora from Ocarina of Time. Maybe Cameron could adjust his Z-brush renders and change the movie into a Zelda adaptation.

Mr Cammeron makes a bold statement which I find amusing. The man has made nothing but mediocre films with mediocre characters. I suspect this will just be a small bundle of mediocrity on a growing pile

There should really be some kind of William Shatner/Captain Kirk joke in here, but Heino is all discombobulated from all that hot light-on-CGI-nipple dirty talk.

But wouldn't a cat-like woman only be aroused by stuff like tuna-flavored Dentabites and belly rubs? Might be kind of hard to work that stuff into a Sara and Kyle-style genital romp.
