It's weird because I feel like I just posted similar about someone else a few weeks ago (can't remember who), but Cameron seems to get a lot of credit for a really limited run of success like he's some amazing director.

But it's basically two Terminator movies, Abyss, and Aliens which was a sequel. True Lies was an amusing movie that I enjoy because I was a kid when it came out, but I'm not sure it's anything deserving of the type of praise Cameron gets. And I can't speak to Titanic since I've never seen it.

After that? It's literally just the Avatar movies, and they're terrible. Sure, I guess you can say he had some kind of vision that pushed CGI, but the movies themselves are kind of shit.

Aliens is one of the best movies ever made, sequal or not, and there's no other way to look at Cameron except to accept that the man is a money minting machine. I haven't even looked it up, but he's gotta be astronomically above every other director ever in terms of profit per movie. I'm sure someone like spielberg is close to him in overall money, but more because that man has been a constant stream of diarrhea on audiences for decades.

Yea, he basically doesn't give too much of a shit about making movies outside of funding his hobbies now adays. And I won't even really accept your take that the avatar movies are shit. They are mediocre movies that are visual spectacles. I really don't give a flying flip about them, but I can understand why a large part of the planet disagrees with me and is willing to shove popcorn in the faces for 2 hours to watch blue oogaboogas fight space retards.

I watched a behind the scenes documentary about Aliens earlier this year, and some other stuff about the Terminator, and it all really comes down to he had to run a lean and mean production on both films. With aliens, he ran over budget and over schedule, but apparently that whole shoot was a nightmare because the studio was pushing a bunch of restrictions on him.

There's definitely magic that happens when you're just working your ass off on whatever type of project whether it being a construction job or a movie, and you're just simply giving it your all. That's the filmmaker he used to be, but once he hit Titanic success, no pun intended, he got carte blanche. Kind of like George Lucas, and no one would challenge or question what he was doing.

Same thing with old man Ridley.

I know you're retired now and smoking reefer, maybe sit down and watch this, pretty good and it gives you a pretty good idea of just how hungry of a director he was, and because of that ambition we got some of the greatest movies ever made.

Aliens was solely because of pinewood studios and the faggot brit lazy asses. Fucking afternoon tea and 80 jillion breaks a day.

You're 100% correct, and I think that's one of the reasons he was so frustrated on the production but still managed to pump out one of the greatest movies ever made. The man was a machine back then that he was trying to crank it out as quick as possible, but the execs made him have to deal with those fags.

When have the British NOT been a problem?

If they're not taking spices and never using them... They're losing wars or being conquered by their own design. It's a BOTTLE OF WATER. Fucking beans on toast faggots.

Norway, the USSR, and Australia caught the most humpback whales by numbers if you're interested in that sort of thing. Japan (not China) is the only Asian country even in the running, and they caught mostly sperm and blue whales. Norway and USSR still caught more fin, sperm, and blue whales than Japan.

China never really had a whaling industry at all.

Interesting, what I've always heard is that China and Japan are doing all the whaling this century.

I assume Norway and Australia ceased that practice a while ago. Hopefully everybody did.

The Abyss is criminally underrated. The scene where Ed Harris tries to save his ex-wife's life was incredibly powerful.

Weird how nearly all of James Cameron's movies start with either T or A.

Japan mostly started in the aftermath of WW2 - it was viewed as a way to get more food into the country. It’s fallen out of favor with younger generations, much like how dog meat isn’t as acceptable to younger people in places like Korea or China.

Norway and Iceland still did it, although one of them planned to stop I think. There really isn’t much of a market for it anymore. There are also some arctic natives like the Inuit who whale still but they don’t do it on an industrial scale

Was I the only one who found the fire tribe queen particularly... alluring? If I were the Colonel I would have also dumped the human side and paraded around in Fire Tribe paint.

Watch the making of, absolutely brutal conditions and cameron is portrayed as a heartless monster of a director. Great watch.
This one delves into it as well.
