He had a Skoda Octavia, same one as the police often use on the motorways over here. And I love that car. I'd much rather a wagon than an SUV at my stage of life.

“… a good audience for film and for magic because I accept things, you know, as quite real It's like when I tell someone I read the original script for Avatar it never occurred to me that it couldn't be done You know because well why would you why would anybody bother writing a script and then getting it out there If you actually couldn do it So I took it on faith that it could be done even though it was absolutely outrageous stuff that Cameron is proposing to do, you know, this world. But, and by golly, you know, he did it. Yeah. And we did it. So my faith, my naivete sort of pays off in that …”

For me, the reference point for this movie was a more recent film, The Wild Robot. And I don't know if you got a chance to see that, but that was the one where it's based off of a book. And it's where Lupina Nyong'o plays a sort of helper robot who gets stranded on a remote part of the world and becomes friends with and inhabits the nature. And the nature becomes one with her and they learn to live together and coexist. Very different kind of plot, sort of. But what I was drawn to was …”

“… in a style, I'd say almost heightened to melodrama, with the broad kind of allegorical storytelling of your biblical epics of yore. It is called Avatar the Way of Water. I've never seen Avatar the Way of Water. Did you blind buy it? I did not blind buy it. I do not own it. Nine fresh discs. Now, did you see the first one? Did you see the first one?

This is, I picked, it's an excellent adventure picture. It's a family story done in a style, I'd say almost heightened to melodrama, with the broad kind of allegorical storytelling of your biblical epics of yore. It is called Avatar the Way of Water.
