There's times I feel like Fox and Cameron did a Def Jam and bought up a grip of tickets to inflate the box office.

The shyt just never made sense to me that it was the highest grossing film ever. It obviously has no culutral cache now but even at the time it didn't feel THAT big. It was a hit but it didn't takeover the entire pop culture narrative in the way other mega hits have.

I dunno...it's just a real weird phenomena to look at now .

It's a shame what Cameron has turned into as a director. He's in that group of directors like Ang Lee and Robert Zemickis who seem more concerned with techology and pushing forward special effects than actually making good films. They got too preoccupied with their toys and forgot everything else.

This is a great point. Ang Lee made some amazing stuff. So did Cameron, maybe they always just wanted to sell out.

Watching Avatar in 3D IMAX is still my top movie theatre experience. Been chasing that high watching these wack 3D movies that came after but none of them compare.

After the recent Terminator movie that James Cameron wrote, my anticipation for Avatar sequel did take a hit. :scust:

Might just watch for the 3D euphoria.

It did crazy numbers at the box office because a disproportionate (comparing to other movies, I mean) number of those tickets were for 3D or IMAX. The whole 3D shtick added a fukk ton to the box office of the movie.

Because Camerons an activist and he wants to address indigenous rights and environmental problems for the rest of his career
