James Cameron is an abusive asshole who treats his actors like chattel. He reminds me of how Hollywood was from the 1950s, where directors would do anything to get a good shot without regards to people's safety.

He's good at making money though, so good for him.

I was listening to Mona Lisa from Popstar and it inspired me to (slightly) rewrite the chorus as a dedication for James Cameron

 

James Cameron, you're an overrated piece of shit.

With your terrible style and the lack of an eye

For a decently written script

What the fuck is this garbage?

James Cameron, the original basic bitch

Taken decades of time to release something sublime

But the best you've got is the Abyss, you ugly.

Sure I can - a year is just as arbitrary as 100. Again, your attempt to summarize my position is incorrect and adding information I never once spoke of. 

 

I never added a function of time to my position (other than one which is arbitrary as all human attempts (bar maybe planck's constant) are). So please, read my posts properly next time. 

 

Monetary value is the best and most objective system by which to measure worth, I would have thought that a non-controversial position being that we are on a box office theory forum. 

 

Your position (which I am not going to make any claims of understanding) seems prima facie to be more at home on some kind of communist subjective feelings on films forum. 

Holy fuck. Do we still have a post of the year category at the Boffies? if so, I know what I'm voting for.

I don't really care if it outgrosses the original or not, as long as I like it.

 

You don't care if a movie outgrosses the most grossing WW movie of all time ?

I may not agree with his methods, but I can't argue with the results.

And yet he has a staple of actors that keep coming back working for him and calling him a close friend.

I think you're onto something here, I have a print of the Mona Lisa hung up in my bathroom for nearly this exact reason. They're both priceless, unique, works of utter genius, and nobody really understands how they manage to do what they do!

What's up y'all, this is Panda4Real!

I've seen a lot of movies, right, but tonight I'm gonna watch some dumb shit.

 

I'm at the theater, at a quarter to noon.

So excited to see it, it'll be out of the theater soon.

I heard it's exquisite, so I brought my ticket

Pushed my way to the front of the theater

And I couldn't believe what I saw

He rarely has the same actors for every one of his movies, except for Schwarzenegger. Probably b/c he could crush Cameron if he really overreached.

 

Also plenty of abusive people get away with their shit b/c people say "Oh he would never do that, he's too nice" or something like that. Just saying.
