In Reply to: "...what's politics got to do with it?" - There was a BIG debate Outside and JI was a part of it. posted by Audiophilander on December 29, 2009 at 12:21:23:
...I generally avoid "Outside". :-)
Never say never, but I well know I'm not the target consumer for 3D.
I think it could be tremendous for gaming, however.
As for Avatar, there's many things I love about JC's films, but plot and character development aren't among them. I don't mind recyled plot elements, if done well. (How many stories are there anyway?)
But we've had cardboard cut-out villains in The Abyss (my personal favorite), Aliens, Titanic, and now Avatar - I think that has to indicate an intrinsic screenwriting weakness, not a mandate from timid studios. It keeps Cameron's admittedly visually accomplished and entertaining movies from transcending their genre, like say...2001. But Avatar is gonna be huge anyway, no matter what I think, and people who've fallen in love with it will gladly overlook its (IMO serious) flaws for its considerable virtues.
