The production company that made Avatar could have easily added another half to one hour to the movie and made the beginning start by sending clothing or blankets when the tribe didn't want to relocate. It's a time tested American tradition. Send the spy in afterward and continue with the rest of the movie.
Every 10-20 years seems like it's a new era, does anyone remember 2 movies called TRON and Wargames? About the only couple of things things left are to have a simulator-like seat for motion, holographic projection so you can see slightly around the edges if you move (I'm not talking about StarTrek-Holodeck) and smell. Someone is already working on adapting a seat for theaters and there was work in the past, BC (before computers) to use holograms with a film. I remembered reading that smell was used as a gimmick when they had 3D movies when they used cardboard frames and red-blue cellophane lenses for "glasses".
As far as the Robin Hood parody, I think Springtime for Hitler was funnier.

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but apparently several of the models in Avatar started life as SU models.

Ummmmpf.....One of the directors in our firm saw the movie with his daughter and just asked me if we can do stereoscopic views of architectural projects for presentations. The idea is actually quite thrilling
Could we do that with some Sketchup plugin?.....You can do it with Piranesi 2010 Pro - http://www.piranesi.co.uk/products/piranesi_2010.asp
