Just stop, bro please just stop trying, retire and give people not past their prime a chance.
James Cameron is in no way past his prime. He is a highly accomplished technical movie maker and his contributions have had a positive, lasting impact on the industry. Avatar will not be remembered for its storytelling, but it will be remembered for the technical advances that came from it.
Avatar will be remembered for shoving 3d down our throats for over a decade.
You're not supposed to eat the glasses dawg
I've seen all 3 Avatar movies in the theater, and not once was I forced to watch it in 3D. You probably need to find a different theater if yours is shoving shit down your throat.
3d tv's, 3d photo cameras. Every movie in the cinema had to be in 3d. It was hard to avoid. Sure you could go to a different showing but most movies were forced in 3d or a smaller screen.
That most have been so hard on you, having choices. I'm glad you survived.
What an insufferable comment.
Perhaps, but you were just bitching about 3D movies being an option and claiming that since it's an option it's being shoved down your throat. So, yeah, I was matching the energy of your insufferable comment.
Yeah and I told the truth. If there's 10 showings of a movie and only 1 is 2d, it hard to avoid. Even movies not even filmed in 3d. Avatar will be completely forgotten but I will always be pissed about that 3d bullshit.
There are so many other movies being made. He isn't taking projects from anyone else.
Not sure how Cameron making movies isn't giving others a chance.
And directing isn't like playing sports. You can be old and in your prime. You certainly learn more about making movies and the tools required the longer you do it.
