WIRED: Cameron: Smoking in Avatar a Critique of Gamers
Anti-smoking watchdogs are up in arms about Sigourney Weaver's character lighting up in the movie Avatar, but James Cameron says that her character's cigarette habit was a critique of videogamers.

I thought it was interesting that the only character in the whole film that smoked was the chain-smoking middle-aged female lead scientist. I wasn't sure what Cameron was trying to say with that. But a critique of gamers? That's just lame.

He thought it'd fit her role (which was poorly fleshed out, btw, but no matter, that) and maybe he got a few bucks from the industry, seeing the lame explanations.

On another matter, I've read a lot of comparisons prior to seeing the movie and I thought it was obvious to see that Avatar borrowed quite a bit from Japanese manga.
