<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>New rumour: James Cameron might direct Alien 5. Now are you interested?</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha; text-align: left; '>Nope. Cameron is overrated.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "Courier New"; text-align: left; '>Depends, really. What's the last really good action film he's done and does we think he can top it?</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Damned right I am. He's probably the only one who could make it better than Aliens.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>What movies has he made that aren't good?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>*American hick* He's done that True Lies last and we's think he can done better</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>Didn't he direct that movie with the flying radio active piranhas in the early 70's? Heh.....and throw in Titanic (your favorite movie of all time). =8^D</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Not really. Terminator 2 is a great movie, but beyond that, I can't think of anything else he's done that I thought was really good.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Well, he directed Aliens, which I consider the best in the series so far...so there's hope at least. I don't think a series can ever go past a trilogy and still be good though.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha; text-align: left; '>The fact that he did Titanic flushes all kinds of credibility and respect down the drain. If he did that hunk of shit, then who's to say he can do a decent movie again?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Oh yeah...thanks for reminding me.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Alien 5? Terminator 3? Indiana Jones 4? Can't they just leave the best movie for last and leave it alone?! (Of course, Alien R was a trainwreck, and Alien 3 was pretty mediocre.)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>1 movie? That's pretty sad. The guy as made 6 huge films and one small one and all you can name is 1 film?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Pirhanna 2 in the early 80's. That's what allowed him to make The Terminator :-)</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>What about The Abyss?</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha; text-align: left; '>Considering that that hunk of shit is so pathetic and it's a lot more recent than all the movies you're naming off, I think the burden of proof is on you.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I can name two more : Piranha and Piranha 2.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I didn't realize he did The Abyss. Damned good movie. I have the DVD.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>He's done: Terminator, Aliens, Abyss, Terminator 2, True Lies, and Titanic</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Wait 'til his next one, then we can see if Titanic (in your eyes only) was just a fluke or if he's become a shitty director</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>The year / decade of the sequels... seems Hollywood's resigned to the belief that all the good ideas have been done and all they can do is make sequels. You forgot Jason X, btw</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I didn't like True Lies too much. It was okay.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I expected nothing from that but came away very surprised. But you do have to check your brain at the door to enjoy it, it's a plain "fun" movie, just very good at being one. It's Cameron's weakest IMO, which isn't bad..</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>What about the belief that books make good movie scripts? That one was actually producing some great movies.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Lethal Weapon 4 was really good, but they had to pull all of the stops and get Chris Rock and Jet Li on that one (on top of the stellar cast they had before).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>You didn't see Piranha. You shouldn't see Piranha, I should say. Coz that will re-calibrate your opinion of Cameron.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>[jaw drops] Lethal Weapon 4 was trash. It was like a pardoy of a Lethal Weapon movie.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that's why everybody's seen it, right?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Which proves...?</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha; text-align: left; '>IE if it's popular or makes a lot of money, it's automatically good. This of course is a flawed premise, but one that the Evil Canadian uses quite often despite the glaringly obvious examples of horrible movies that make lots of money.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>That was pretty early in his career through, right? I doubt many good directors start out with A titles (except Kevin Smith).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>true... JP, LotR, and countless others I can't think of. don't forget Time Machine though. I wanna see if Timeline turns out to be any good.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>That's not the point. It's whether Cameron had bad movies or not. He did.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I'm just saying that everybody's seen it and like it. A lot of people might call it the worst LW movie ever, but that's not saying much, cuz they are all good. That's like ripping Indiana and the Temple of Doom. Sure, it kinda sucked, but it's fucking Indiana Jones. Mallrats was the worst Kevin Smith movie, but it's fucking Kevin Smith! Now, IJ4 might be going too far, though.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Who liked it?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>The Martial Arts was Fine! Ket Li kicked ass! But the story was....well.....you know. But I liked how Jet Li kicked the hell out of Murdock and whathisname. But they cheated. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It was his first primary directing job (he was a second-unit director before that). It's what allowed him to do Terminator</div>
