Sam Worthington has been out and about promoting his new comic book venture with Radical Publishing, entitled The Last Days of American Crime.

Are you still going through Pandora withdrawal? Is your DVD version of Avatar just not as awesome as the theatrical cut? You’re in luck because after months of promising that the film would return to the big screen, the studio has set a date. Twentieth Century Fox plans on re-releasing the film later this summer and they’ve added even more 3-D footage!
Ever since its release last December Avatar has had its fans on edge. People have become obsessed with the fabled planet of Pandora and they’ve fallen in love with Jake and Neytiri. Director and screenwriter James Cameron has said on more than one occasion that he plans on Avatar being a trilogy and according to a recent interview some big sequel news is headed our way.
If you were one of the people who hated Avatar because of its transparent message about the environment you shouldn’t be surprised by today’s DVD release. Home entertainment items including CDs and movies typically debut on Tuesdays but James Cameron wanted Avatar’s to make a point. The movie hit shelves today, April 22nd (a Thursday), which also happens to be Earth Day. Coincidence? You know it’s not.
We’ve suffered through two straight weeks of DVD purgatory and now our patience is rewarded with a huge week of releases. Like the biggest week ever! And that’s hardly hyperbole, not when the number one box office champ of all time, Avatar hits shelves and has you wondering about investing in a 3D TV.
But that’s not the only thing going on sale. There’s more Oscar bait on display as Jeff Bridges‘ award winning performance arrives on DVD in Crazy Heart and nominee Stanley Tucci comes home in Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones.

Uhura in Star Trek and Neyteri in Avatar, and when asked which sequel she thinks will come first she admitted that Star Trek’s in the lead.
In today’s completely-irrelevant-and-more-than-a-little-annoying celebrity feud news, rhetoric monger Glenn Beck and blockbuster filmmaker James Cameron—get this—don’t like each other! Gasp! Shriek! Shudder!
I know, right?
