11.03.09 RUSSIAN AVATAR POSTER HAS SKY TURTLE THINGIE
/Film found recently found some Russian posters for James Cameron’s Avatar on a Russian site that were quickly taken down. No word on why they got pulled, but this one was the most interesting, as it shows a close shot of the dragonfly-winged pterodactyl creatures that the cat people will ride around on when they fight the helicopters. Yes, I really just typed that. The head looks sort of like a painted turtle head with fingers sticking out the front, and trust me when I say you don’t ever want to do a Google image search for “turtle head with fingers sticking out”. Reached for comment, Homophobic Turtle said, “Painted turtles? Yeah, I know a couple of those guys. Totally queer.”
Wow, this post went off the rails pretty fast. Anyway, here’s a video comparison of the CGI in the teaser vs. the CGI in the full trailer, in case any of you nerdlingtons are interested.

Haha, Russian’s don’t know how to spell Avatar correctly!
I bet that’s the Ben Kingsley of duck-billed turtleheaded pterodactyls.
“Now that’s a parrot!”

ABATAP sounds like a sexual postion involving an MMA submission hold while listening to “Dancing Queen”
In Soviet Russia, movie posters remove YOU.
Duckbilled Flapypuss = Kim Cattrall
The tag line translates as “When They Show It, You Stop and Stare”.
Is it narrated by Mush Mouth from Fat Albert.
“Heyba youba, youba my Abatap, my butba holeby hurt”*
*I like to assume
ABATAP is my favorite Genesis album.
C’mon now chelle0. We all know the answer to that equation is a multiple set of variables. For example, the same problem can be solved correctly as “Jenna Jameson”.
Touche’ Erswi…er don’t touch it, you’ll get the itchies!
ABATAP is how Dick Clark pronounces “Habitat”.
Can we all agree to call that creature a “Turtledactyl” please?
It would really make my day a lot better.
KTHX.
Joaquin Phoenix is a big fan of Abatap for Humabity.
You folks are focusing on the wrong thing. This movie apparently will feature Hobbins. This is a picture of Smaug.
I just watched that and have no idea what the hell I was supposed to be comparing.
Is it my monitor or my old eyesight that sucks? Most likely explanation - I don’t care.
Abbatap is a Swedish dance craze made popular by the Dancing Queen.
Italian mongoloids playing softball are known to yell “HEY ABATAP, HEY ABATAP, HEY ABATAP, THWING!”
Chino, we’ve talked about this. oiPhones is made for dick-steppin.
See Lord H @ 1:46. Sorry.
ABATAP was the beta version of what is now GameTap.
During the beta testing, the only game available for rent was “ABBA Kung-Fu”, which was cool, because your character wore sweet bell bottoms, but the only move you could do was “The Hustle”.
Hey, my oiPhone just got me some action!!
Talk about fucking up the demographic. The Russians think the helicopters are the good guys.
That’s not a turtle. It’s clearly a tortoise. Sheesh.
