Where's the last place you put your tendrils, Jake Sully?
By Colin Covert
This is very, very wrong. The nerdosphere is afire with reports of an "Avatar" love scene, snipped to avoid an R rating, that will be restored for the unrated, special-edition DVD. Actress Zoe Saldana confirmed it in New York magazine. According to published reports, James Cameron's script describes the canoodling between Jake Sully and his blue-skinned Pocahontas as follows: He puts his face close to hers. She rubs her cheek against his. He kisses her on the mouth. They explore each other.
Then she pulls back, eyes sparkling.
NEYTIRI:
Kissing is very good. But we have something better.
She pulls him down until they are kneeling, facing each other on the faintly glowing moss.
Neytiri takes the end of her queue and raises it. Jake does the same, with trembling anticipation. The tendrils at the ends move with a life of their own, straining to be joined.
MACRO SHOT — The tendrils INTERTWINE with gentle undulations.
JAKE rocks with the direct contact between his nervous system and hers. The ultimate intimacy. Oh. My. Gosh. Isn't this EXACTLY what Jake and Neytiri do to every wild beast on Pandora? And even trees? Ick, ish, yuck, ugh, eww. Even Capt. James T. "Loverboy" Kirk wouldn't go there. What's the Na'vi for "gross"?
