Well, we had questions like that on AF, too.... here's something I posted there in Sept. 2010:
OK, I thought about opening a new thread about that question, but then - nope, not another pee and poo thread - we already had one of those in AF's Na'vi culture sub-forum (Nope, I'm not gonna post a link... find it yourself, if you wish to read that...).
:D
But, really, in the scenes where Jake is trained by Neytiri to become a clan member, we see them both reading the tracks at the water-hole with Jake, telling in voice-over to the video log:
(quoted from the screenplay)
A few scenes later, we see them in the forest, and Neytiri suddenly hunkers down, averts her face, and Jake turns away from her, sniffs the air and wrinkles his nose as if he smelled something bad...
Neytiri's posture in that scene looks very much like what girls do outdoors when they have to take a leak... well, since the training is all about the circle of life and flow of energy, why not also depict something natural and mundane like that? Of course, if that is what that short scene shows, it somehow takes away all that glamour of our heroes, knowing that even our greatest role-models do some things like we do.
I am definitely going to closely watch that particular little shot, when going to the movies today, to watch the SE the third time (6 hours from now and counting). It would really give the "tiniest scents and sounds" line a whole new and quite funny meaning if it turns out to be true...
