  1. The first one was a cool idea but it seemed a bit obsessive beyond that.

  2. An artist standing up for his Art.

    Not everyone has to like his art but you gotta respect him for creating art that he personally values…especially in these times where artists are being replaced by machines generating slop.

  3. I wish i didnt hear about cameron and avatar for 3 days. Just keep coming up.

  4. James Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is…James Cameron.

  5. I watched the first one and couldn’t get into the CGI blue characters, CGI makes me feel nothing inside. I didn’t make it through #2, turned it off. I’ll always have True Lies and Abyss to remember him by.

  6. I don’t understand why he doesn’t just post the Woody Harrelson wiping his tears with money gif in response to everything and not spend any more time concerned with it

  8. Looks like the reviews are coming out for the third one saying that its meh. “Looks great, but the story is mediocre”. So all the Avatar movies? These movies arent great, and they make a bunch of money. Idk what he is so worried about. Maybe the “you spent your golden years on boring blue people” talk is finally getting to him

  9. Homeboy wasted a big chunk of his life making some goofy smurfs movie.

  11. Between Avatar and trying to make more Terminator movies, he doesn’t seem to making good use of his time. 

  12. I wonder if he’s like Robert Zemeckis and George Lucas where it feels like they became more obsessed with the technology than the finished product.

    But Cameron’s movies still make tons of money with better critical response than Lucas and Zemeckis.

  14. Really the only criticism about *Avatar* should be that it **fucking sucks**.

    James Cameron wasting half his life on this piece of shit is one of the final doldrums of the artistic movement of Commercialism, as the motherfucker makes so much money that, yeah, why the fuck wouldn’t he burn through 30 years on this piece of shit? If he had kids they’d be set for generations. Fuck, he can rebuild the Titanic, freeze a massive amount of water into an iceberg, and crash the fucking New Titanic into it to create a new Titanic crash site to go to in his deep sea submarine. That’s how much fucking money *Avatar* has made.

    …but it sucks. It’s asinine. And it adds nothing to our culture.

  15. “Why aren’t you making other stuff?”

    It’s his personal pet project and it makes infinity money. Dude gets to push the industry while doing something he loves. Something, coincidentally, also makes billions of dollars. Why wouldn’t he keep doing this? 😀

  16. Np Jimmy, I stayed out of the last one and will stay out of the next one too.

  17. I’m rich don’t tell me what to do!!! Probably

  18. This is why I can’t stand this chud. No doubt he’s indescribably influential, but he’s completely incapable of accepting even vanilla criticism, especially when said criticism is as justifiable as pointing out that he wasted nearly three decades of his career and life on this shitty franchise.

  19. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s to not get between James Cameron and his Avatar

  20. Was Avatar really ever the great?

    Don’t get me wrong, the movies look incredible and I’m always entertained. But the story was always generic, the characters are unmemorable (except for the funny CEO guy from the first movie), and it’s pretty much agreed they aren’t “masterpieces”.

  21. He’s mad because nobody is as excited about Avatar as he wants them to be. Sorry buddy.

  22. Avatar is in the utterly bizarre position of having no fanbase or impact on pop culture whatsoever in any capacity but they make $2 billion each at the box office which i can’t figure out how thats even possible. Everyone i know whose seen the first one says it’s a pretty film worth watching for the visuals but it has an utterly terrible story. The only person ive ever met that i know has actually seen the second one is older and not on social media at all so i just assume the Avatar fanbase is older and not on reddit Twitter blue sky etc. the third one will continue to make $2 billion box office and have no impact on pop culture outside of its box office

  23. Is he getting defensive because he’s realizing those movies are the absolute worst?

  25. “I’m an old bitch that loves stupid shit! (wipes ass with a gold brick)” – James Cameron
