‘AVATAR’ COUNTDOWN: 17 DAYS

The good folks over on MTV and the MTV.com Movies blog have joined with the social networking juggernaut Facebook to bring James Cameron, Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington into computers everywhere for a digital face-to-face as they answer questions from fans live and those submitted through video today (December 3).

It’s a cool way to interact and possibly have your witty query read aloud for all to hear. ‘Was it hard to wear that blue makeup for so long, Ms. Saldana?’ Don’t ask that.
