Now that his long-gestating sci-fi epic Avatar has made over one billion dollars, director James Cameron has all the options in the world. He already had "eff-you" money from Titanic (which made $1.84 billion), but now he has "eff-you-and-the-exo-suit-you-walked-in-with" money. We called up his office to ask him what his next step was and, after being told politely that Mr. Cameron was currently aboard his personal space shuttle, came up with this list of possibilities on our own.

It's the final round of Oscar noms! Three more award-winning (and one honored-to-be-nominated) pictures come out on DVD this week, but only two hit today. The last you'll have to come back on Thursday for. Blame the planet.

Take a classic, family-friendly film property and add a fan-favorite director, an iconic movie star and 3-D glasses, and you've apparently got a smash hit on your hands. Alice in Wonderland, the latest funhouse-mirror remake by director Tim Burton, opened to $116 million at the box office, the sixth biggest opening of all time, helping make it the biggest March opening ever in the U.S. That beats Burton's previous biggest opening, for Planet of the Apes ($68.5 million), and considering how much better this movie is than Apes, we hope it will outgross it in the long run, as well. Another $94 million from overseas placed it at number 14 on the list of biggest worldwide openings, so things are looking good there, too.

The foreigners have spoken! The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has released their nominations for the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, and while there aren't many surprises, they did get the awkward John Krasinski, the annoying Diane Kruger, and the adorable Justin Timberlake to read off the nominees. (While we couldn't stand Diane's totally biased glee at Inglourious Basterds getting a nomination, we loved glasses-wearing JT's realization that Krasinski was gonna get some lovin' from his nominated spouse Emily Blunt.) What follows are the movie nominees; look for the TV nominees over in the Telefile.

Who could have predicted that James Cameron's follow-up to Titanic would take 12 years to realize and would be entirely about blue aliens living on another planet? A lucky few got to see 20 minutes of preview footage in IMAX theaters across the country on Avatar Day, but the rest of you have had to content yourselves with the online trailer, which has a lot going on in it, a lot of which looks kinda familiar. Luckily, Omar G. and Pablo G. watched it as well, and they talk all about in in their latest video installment of "Trailers Without Pity"... or, rather, their blue, animated avatars talk about it, which makes the whole thing very derivative. Like Avatar! Check it out below!

Mark your calendars, because August 21 is Avatar Day! What's that, you ask? Is it some sort of new holiday where a benevolent bearded wizard gives you presents? Kinda. James Cameron doesn't sport a beard any more, but he is giving the world what he probably thinks is the greatest gift of all -- a free, 15-minute clip of his new, 14-years-in-the-making CGI spectacle movie, Avatar! Unfortunately, you need to go to an IMAX 3D or other 3D theater to see it. Because it can't be fully appreciated on the Internet or TV, of course. Which is apparently why absolutely zero footage has been released from this enormous movie that comes out in less than five months, aside from a few pieces of artwork and the footage that was recently shown at San Diego Comic-Con. Description of the footage ranges from highly positive to "lower your expectations". Based on what I've heard (a lot) and seen (very little), they're already pretty darn low.

In a move that has surprised some and shocked others, G4 has ordered a reality series about a bomb-disposal squad in Afghanistan. The show, which will follow a Navy E.O.D. unit's training sessions in the states and deployment overseas, is not connected to last year's Best Picture winner, The Hurt Locker, but it is clearly inspired by its success, which makes us wonder if we should be looking to the Best Picture category for new, better reality show ideas. With last year's category boasting a whopping ten nominees for the first time in decades, there are certainly plenty of films to choose from, so here are some shows we'd be curious to see.

It's Earth Day, and while a large percentage of Americans will be thinking about saving the planet, an equally large percentage will be thinking about leaving it. Those are the ones who will be rushing out to buy the blockbuster sci-fi epic Avatar on Blu-ray or DVD, which releases today instead of on a traditional Tuesday. Living up to the film's ecological themes, the film's studio has promised to plant a million trees around the world, but they've pruned the DVD a bit, as it won't have any special features or bonuses. We talked to the movie's producer, Jon Landau, to find out the thinking behind the release, what we can expect in terms of Avatar DVDs down the road, and what's next for director James Cameron's Titanic.
