First Avatar Picture fun – Heading towards the Uncanny Valley?






My friends Jason Bratton (luckyfish.tv) and Scott Schroeder (psyche-digital.tv) just sent me these PhotoShopped pictures they made from the first official still of James Camron’s Avatar. They are hilarious. The top one is the original. We are all very excited about the movie but as Jason said in his email to me “I think the (photoshopped) responses express the anxiety we both feel from the initial image.” Please don’t suck Avatar.
