Avatar Director James Cameron says he doesn't want to hear complaints about the sequels' long run time.
The highly anticipated "Avatar: The way of Water" isn't due out until December, but the director already has to defend it.
It's still in post-production, so we don't have an official run time, but it could run around three hours.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Cameron, who is notorious for making longer cinematic films, explained that it's okay to get up and use the bathroom.
"I don't want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch [television] for eight hours … I can almost write this part of the review. 'The agonizingly long three-hour movie…' It's like, give me a f---ing break. I've watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row.

"Here's the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it's okay to get up and go pee."
Touché Mr. Cameron. Touché.
The first avatar film was released in 2009 with a run time of 2 hours and 45 minutes.
"Avatar: The Way of Water" is due out December 16, 2022.
