I’ve watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row. Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it’s OK to get up and go pee.” A synopsis for the upcoming film reads, “Jake Sully [Sam Worthington] lives with his newfound family formed on the planet of Pandora.

Once a familiar threat returns to finish what was previously started, Jake must work with Neytiri [Zoe Saldana] and the army of the Na’vi race to protect their planet.”
