You listened to AFI?<br /><br />2. Aliens remains, in my mind, a pitch-perfect movie. <br /><br />4. The critic (read: relentlessly unhappy, small little man) in me still thinks Avatar looks like Aliens crossed with Fern Gully with the robots from Matrix: Revolutions tossed in. But there&#39;s some ineffable Cameronness about the panning shots of Marines running through the jungle. I don&#39;t think it&#39;s going to be any good, but I really, really hope he surprises me.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06720756792014161178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584167718205869396.post-68008007385044664362009-11-04T21:19:57.140-05:002009-11-04T21:19:57.140-05:00I think the other reason Cameron isn&#39;t very prolific is because each of his movies costs about a bajillion dollars to make. (I think Terminator 2, Titanic, and now Avatar each held the record for Most Expensive Movie at some point). There was a cool New Yorker article about him a few weeks ago. Basically the producers of Titanic were convinced it was going to be the next &quot;Waterworld&quot; disaster and tried to stop the cash flow. James Cameron basically ignored them and just kept spending their money.<br /><br />If he ever makes a movie that doesn&#39;t do well at the box office, he&#39;s going to have a lot of explaining to do.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976852392981544985noreply@blogger.com
