If you’ve been reading For The Reels for a while, you’d know that Jon and I originally said that we would wait to parody a film until it’s DVD release.  That way we give a chance to those who haven’t seen it in theaters to see it before we spoil anything.  In this case, Avatar has only been out for about two-and-a-half weeks.  JN and I figured in our recent podcast that we could make an exception for huge event movies  (I mean, it’s not like people haven’t gone to see it, it’s made over $1 billion worldwide already).

Though we’re not going operate like Theater Hopper or Joe Loves Crappy Movies (awesome as they are) and riff on movies currently in theaters that people – or maybe, I – don’t care about.  For The Reels is about all great movies, old or new.  We’re still gonna do the old classics.  We’re still gonna do the more recent classics.  Avatar was so good, I’d consider it a new classic.

So when I first saw the movie and sat down to think of a joke, two thoughts popped into my head.  #1: Jake Sully probably had a wet dream in his machine when he mated with Neytiri.  It’s a funny concept but I wanted to draw something more visually engaging, as the movie was a visual masterpiece.  So I went with #2: At night, Pandora lights up like it’s under a black light.  People who go to raves would have a freakin’ awesome time there.
