Ahhh, the business of destroying lives. Why did you do it James Cameron?? WHY!

Also make sure to get the part about James Cameron's Titanic starting at approx. 0:26:00

When someone hands you 350+ million to make a movie, I doubt it's because you told them you where trying something bold, fresh, edgy, dark, and challenging in this day and age.
But blue digital butts with tails??! GO FOR IT!!!


Ironically, an original franchise with weird looking blue aliens filmed with untested technology for ridiculous amounts of money was exactly the bold, fresh, edgy and challenging kind of filmmaking that no production company dared to finance. Despite Cameron's track record, it was still notoriously difficult for him to find the money, and Fox eventually stepped in only when two other companies agreed to share the risk.

James Cameron would have found a way!

Why wasn't that in Terminator 2?

Because T2 took place in L.A? Not a ton of icy roads there.

Should have given it to James Cameron.

Spoiler #1: It turns out that Jake was dead the whole time, and that the Na'vi were all ghosts.

Spoiler #2: Midway through the film, a quick pan of Neytiri's naked body reveals that she is actually a he.

Spoiler #3: Colonel Miles Quaritch cryptically whispers 'rosebud' in the opening scene of the film, which we eventually learn is actually the name of his childhood sled, symbolically representing the lost innocence of youth he so dearly longed for.

Spoiler #4: After discovering the Statue of Liberty protruding from a Pandoran Lake, Dr. Grace Augustine realizes that they've been on Earth the entire time!

Spoiler #5: Darth Vader reveals that he is in fact James Cameron's father.

2012 was like watching a really cool screensaver for 2 hours.

Avatar was like Kevin Kostner came back through time with a fully functioning holo-deck and asked if anyone felt like re-making some random oscar winning movie.

Neither will make you think terribly much, they use rather cliche classic storylines.. but Avatar has far more integrity to it in what it does do. The attention to detail in nearly every shot is amazing, despite being made by Kevin Kostner from the future. I will say 2012 was surprisingly good for an Emmirch flick though. It's up there with his civil war one.. definitely better then Independence Day (though I wasn't a big fan of that one)... not better then Avatar though, not even close.

There's a cute jab at James Cameron in 2012 btw, near the beginning.

I was not that thrilled by the trailers, but was still psyched to see it just because it is James Cameron and there's nothing he's done that I haven't loved.

I completely agree with you Dag, it was SENSATIONAL. Absolutely agree on the CG thing, the Na'vi were completely believable, the world was stunning, the creatures amazing, and the story was a rip roaring adventure.

And I saw it on the 3rd largest screen in the world (Melbourne IMAX) in 3D... quite frankly I think it was a little too large as some of the action sequences were hard to watch.

But man the 3D was incredible, and ... well, I'm going to see it again this week, just stunning film... stunning.

James Cameron simplistic and heavy-handed?

Naaaa.. (cue the swelling music & matte blue screen effects)
