[Q?]

This thread is a bad idea imo, for what purpose did you start this thread?

Solely bashing Avatar? And we already have a thread for Avatar discussions

Well, The Core was the first use of the term, back in 2003.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core

So it's not the first film to use the name.

But the name has its own history and use...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium

So Cameron is just using a fairly common concept and term. It's nothing new.

I know I, for one, am a James Cameron fan solely based on his use of the term "unobtanium." If it weren't for that, the rest goes out the window.
