Blarghagh Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 According to Box Office Mojo, Avatar is now the highest grossing film of all time. Even though it's not the highest amount of tickets sold and the record falls apart when inflation is taken into account, it's still nice to see something knock Titanic off the top spot. It's been there disturbingly long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 It also makes Cameron pretty weird.

Pidesco Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Compare Avatar's and Titanic's numbers to any other commercially successful movie like, say, The Dark Knight or the Harry Potter movies. Cameron's movies absolutely crush everything else.

RPGmasterBoo Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Nothing strange about that. He's Hollywood's commercial movies incarnate. Basically he's mastered the "pure entertainment" film form. That said, his movies are all the same and quite shallow.

Walsingham Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think it's weird and wrong that the BBC is going on about how big a success the film is. Sometimes I'd swear they are corrupt.

Calax Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Cameron seems very good at his job. Aliens, Titanic, Terminator, Avatar... Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Don't you feel at least a little sting of disappoinment that Cameron didn't go for dark and gritty sci fi instead of the big sunday family outing film. While it wasn't as dark as Aliens, I wouldn't call it a family film. I mean besides the violence and alien sex, Ridley is a smoker! That's pretty dark.

Blarghagh Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Yeah, with them hooking up USB cables as a part of intercourse despite the fact they've been stickin' that thing into animals for the entire flick. I understand why it was cut and it should probably remain cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Amber Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Titanic is a way better movie than Avatar is. In terms of Cameron's sci-fi movies, the original Terminator is probably the best of the lot. A completely original premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) yeah especially with a soldier from Earth's future is sent back in time and materializes on a city street in the present. Same with a robot which looks like a man but has a robotic hand going back into the past to find out he is not a man but a robot.

RPGmasterBoo Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Please explain to me how Aliens is the same as Titanic? I get the point you're making but you're horribly exaggerating it. They're both crowd pleasers that use cheap trickery to get you emotionally involved, the first a kid and a woman, the second a completely fairytale romance. Add to it sweeping, dramatic music, uncharacteristic length (for hollywood films) used to full effect, intense "action" and you've got the "epic" feel of Cameron's films. I like his films but he's not showing much desire to do anything else, which is kinda disappointing. Aliens is a perfect example. A great movie - but far from the artistry of the original. Ridley Scott can also be accused of following the crowd pleasing formula with Gladiator (which I think is rubbish), but at least he has two artistic masterpieces to fall back on (Alien, Blade Runner).

Blarghagh Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Those are pretty poor reasons to call something 'the same' I think. You might as well say Lord of the Rings are Cameron movies just because there are some surface similarities. Also, I'd wouldn't call a theme of maternity explored through both the human characters and the antagonistic alien race 'cheap trickery'. How is anything that gets an emotional response trickery? You can't fake a feeling. As for Terminator being his most original premise, didn't he lose a copyright case over it?
