Abyss movies and their box office success simply serves to highlight the fact that modern audiences don't want to think when they are being entertained. There's zero content in them and zero memorable scenes or dialogue. No memorable characters or performances. I bet if you threw all footage from all the movies into a blender, no one would really notice.
Also: Titanic sucked ass. I haven't been able to sit through the whole movie, and never will.

To this day, I still remember I was at work talking with a co-worker and we were making fun of the Titanic movie (which had just come out) and I made some quip about how the only part of the movie that would be good is when the boat finally sinks.
Some lady walks by and 100% seriously goes "thanks for spoiling the end of the movie, you asshole!". After she left we bust out laughing over this lady angry about 85 year old historical "spoilers".

I was at a work retreat where we did 'team bonding' BS and they played Apollo 13 to show how a team can overcome a challenge etc. They would play so much of the movie then stop and talk about what we watched. When they stopped one time 2 of my female co-workers said they wondered if the astronauts would make it.
So then I immediately started fucking with them. I told them in a really serious manner that it was a true event and it was really tragic but they died.
Towards the end of the movie when it was apparent I was lying one of them called me an asshole and slapped me.

The franchise financials seem pretty murky at this point.
To be clear: A4 and A5 have not been fully greenlit yet. The kids did their performance capture for pre-time jump A4 years ago, and while Disney had scheduled A4 and A5 even pre-Covid, A4 has not actually gone into full production.
Furthermore, Cameron's been making vague statements about moving on to other things, siting his age. It's unclear to me if this is soft preparation for handing over / splitting A4/A5 with a lieutenant, or coded public haggling with Disney ("If A4 and A5 don't get the budgets I want, I'll walk").
Just so everyone is clear: A3 will be profitable. But now that both movies have had their Christmas bump, domestically A3 is tracking about -20% A2. Internationally, it's worse, ~ -33% off from A2.
So the question isn't whether A3 is profitable, it is if you track out -25% revenue each for A4/A5, and increase production costs by at least +20% for each (just to cover inflation, to start), does the slim profit they make from A4 cover any losses from A5? My guess is _probably_, and therefore they get greenlit, but it'll be interesting to see the budgets that get set and if Cameron is the only man behind the wheel for both as a result.

I'm so glad I've only had one job where I had to work with women, who were the majority in my department, and it was a nightmare, but everything else I've done it's been mainly men.
The only women you typically encountered in construction was maybe somebody from an architectural firm, interior designer, or a sales rep for something like tile and flooring.
Only time I ever had to do a course on some sort of HR BS was the time I had made fun of a kid working with us in the shop of maybe 150-200 people fixing electronics back in college.
There the kid on the laser team we called short bus, and here this tubby friend off of another team maybe comms that used to walk over and talk with the bus all the time. Problem was is the manager of the shop's office was in line of sight of our corner. Manager was old marine and if he ever saw us talking too much or whatever we'd hell.
I dubbed him the nickname Gutterball for the tubby kid because he had a very round head shaved down and his hair was jet black. He hated it but everybody in the shop started calling him that.
He comes over one day and we had just gotten reamed by the manager couple of days ago and our team manager had gotten on us, so in trying drive off Gutterball, I asked him what three fingers the short bus stick into him. He got pissed and walked off, the rest of us laughed other than the bus.
Lo and behold, the next week I'll come into work and everybody's giving me the stink eye and telling me thanks fucker. I don't know what's going on. We just have to log in to these old CRT computers I'll even know what the hell they were but they were ancient with the Fallout style monitor and color palette, old cheap shit.
You clocking and you check your emails, and apparently there's a sexual harassment test that everybody and the entire shop had to take. I was like what the hell is this. One the full-timers comes walking over laughing and he's like dude you got everybody to take this.
Apparently Gutterball was complaining to other people working on his bench, his team manager who we called the Silverback because she was a old fat Dyke lady overheard it and went to the Marine and HR.
I then had to go talk to the Marine that day for 5 minutes or so but he laughed and didn't really care because he understood you got a shop full of pretty much all guys with maybe two girls, and everybody's busting each other's balls and it's locker room talk.
That's the only HR thing I ever really had to do, I miss those maybe back in 2002. I still got my raise that period because I could crank out those HP 4050s.

My story was about when I worked for the 10th largest electrical contractor in the USofA.

My story was when I worked for the second biggest company that rent out computers, printers, comms equipment to car dealerships all around the country, Universal Computer Systems based out of Houston. They had a facility up in college station that we all worked at where the shop was located in the heart of the building.
Before everything went digital, printer team used to work on all these old dot matrix printers and stuff because that's what the dealerships used because of the carbon copy printing ability for all of the sales documents.
Rentsys was the sister company housed in the building, and they used to rent computers monitors and TVs and stuff to trade shows.
I know years later after I was gone, UCS got bought out by Reynolds and Reynolds, who was the number one company that did the same stuff, and then it was maybe a handful of years ago I saw the owner of UCS Bob Brockman apparently embezzled or did some shady financial stuff which was like a record setting amount of money.
I saw that old fucker a few times when you had the monthly birthday party down in the cafeteria where you got free wings and the executive people were getting awards for being there for 10 20 years or whatever. He gave some asshole who have been there for 25 years a giant bronze fish which me and my buddies all laughed at.
It was a pretty fun and crazy job and I'm still friends with some of the guys I work with after 25 years. I'm sure working there is radically different than what it used to be.

my wife and kids started watching avatar 2 so i sat and watched too. payed careful attention, the smallest of details.
The queen of the waterpeople has the biggiest titties. she was pregnant tho, so maybe that's an unfair advantage. No wonder the tinytitty goth hated her.

Titanic is one of the few movies I walked out of. Leaving my date there. The other was The Blair Witch Project.
