As you all know quite well, "Avatar" hit theaters this weekend. And while celebrities have ways of finagling themselves tickets to official premieres -- I think there's a secret handshake or something -- plenty of them turned out to "slum it" with their adoring public for public screenings of the movie. Or at least, that's what it seems like based on the influx of tweets on our Twitter-Wood feed.
The tone has been mostly positive on the Hollywood insider front. Hell, last week superstar actor Ben Stiller appeared on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" with only one thing in mind: pimping James Cameron's sci-fi epic! "Oh, I'm here to talk about 'Avatar.'" he said. "I'm really excited about it, Conan. It's gonna be... it's just going to be an amazing movie." Hit the jump for more from celebs on "Avatar," fresh from the Twitter-Wood feed.
@johncmayer I will take a crack at Avatar again, this time with good old fashioned peyote.

@simonpegg After seeing Avatar, I predict Star Wars Episode VII featuring all the original characters will be announced before 2015.

@MMFlint Go see Avatar - a brilliant movie 4 our times. Don't worry if theater doesn't have 3D - the 2D is awesome & it's all about the story anyway!
-Michael Moore, Director ("Capitalism: A Love Story," "Bowling for Columbine")
@ManMadeMoon Would have appreciated the barest bit of explanation for the floating mountain islands in Avatar... Pumice stone full of helium? Something!

@kyle_newman AVATAR was a splendid visual feast! James Cameron gave my eyeballs a handjob

@MalcolmIngram is kinda happy that Cameron pulled it off again. The dude has made some damn fine pictures....The Abyss directors cut is a brilliant watch

@Mike_Dougherty Avatar is even more fun if you pretend it's Alien 5 and Ripley lived and became Dr. Augustine and somewhere on that planet is an egg..
