James Cameron
 

It is rather confusing, how there seems to be a lack in threads regarding the director. I thought he deserved his own thread, so comment and post all your love to the most inspirational visionary director of all time.

Well, all our love, and money, goes to JC! <3 :D

He is the Real Toruk Makto!!!
He has led a 3D revolution in cinema that will be remembered for a long time to come! :) :)

JC is amazing... He showed all of us to See... I have no idea where I would be right now otherwise.

James Cameron has always been my favorite director. All James Cameron's movies are awesome. Avatar is my favorite movie of all time now.

All of them except for Titanic.

I'm sorry, but that's the worst, most insipid, bleh, not-even-B-quality piece of trash I've ever seen.

I mean that in the best possible way :S.

I've never actually seen Titanic...

I like his other films though (although actually, I've never seen The Abyss either. Should watch that some time.)

Titanic is an all time classic. As good perhaps even better than Avatar....it is a close call for me. If I had to choose I would choose Avatar, with Titanic being my 2nd favorite of all time.

JC is one of my favorite directors of all time. Always like his movies, and I really like the person he is. I would kill to see this genious at work! He has changed the film business so much in his career it is just awesome!

James Cameron is and will be the all time best screenwriter and director ever

^This.

Great Sci-fi director, but i dont exactly think it would be my favorite movie, definately top 5 though =)

Maybe try and watch schindlers list.... Anyone who watches that and tells me it doesnt stur in them... well... not worth a comment

I loved and I still love almost every single film that JC has directed (I admit, I'm not a so big fan of Titanic.. but it's still a good movie). In any case, Avatar is without any doubt his masterpiece!

Agreed, JC does deserve his own thread, after all, he brought me films like Aliens, The Abyss and of course umm... that other one beginning with "A"... I forget...

Anyway, an excellent director, he deserves the utmost respect and acknowledgement. Well done JC.

I was just reading an article on the new Predators film - link - & there's a bit in it that supports JC's awesomeness that little bit more -

Whilst I respect Titanic, it is a travesty he had to win his oscars over that rather than such films as aliens and terminator, vastly superior and intelligent pieces of film making.

AA hates sci-fi.

As well as king of the universe. ;)

Hahaha I like the pic!

Something I found impressive about his stance toward the movie is that he wasn't doing it for money (This is debatable, however that's my interpretation of it) because he made enough from Titanic to live off of. He really worked to tell his story and bring this amazing vision about, and I'm so very thankful for that!

I hadn't seen Titanic either until i saw Avatar and decided to watch JC's other movies as well. I think Titanic is a good movie too, it made me cry like fountains. It was a beautiful movie but.. that's it. It didn't affect me like Avatar did and that seems to be what I expect movies to do now :D

qft

Exactly.

Star wars should won one

E.T should have won one - the winner that year said he felt E.T had been robbed in his speech right after getting his oscar...

The closest we ever got to a Sci-Fi Oscar for best picture was Lotr and even that took three tries.....

:angry::angry::angry::angry:

Really, the oscars mean nothing. They have such a blatant agenda, it's amazing anything good has ever won, at all.

Ofc it means something - however i agree that the winner doesnt make it the best movie etc. And that is not because Avatar didnt win - it is because the voters pool and such are taken up by an uneven amount of people who have different interests when it comes to voting for a winner.
It's a popularity contest, where more often than not the winner is a patriotic confirmation of american values and such...

Boy this would be so much easier in danish :)

That's exactly what I meant, after all, look at what won this year...

Yeah i guess i could have figured that out... but my fingers cant stop posting... its like i have gone mad!

Anyways, im glad to see you agree - i thought we were going into some sort of argument, and i knew i wouldnt be able to bring the firepower to achieve victory :)
