    "Forbidden Planet" next for Cameron?

    With possibly J. Michael Straczynski involved I'm excited!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It's like Avatar with more originality.
    eww. That sentence has me torn. "Like Avatar" makes me cringe, but I guess "more originality" is a good thing...

    Darn, I was hoping you were referring to the great director Cameron Crowe, but alas only the so-so James Cameron...

    I had heard about this awhile ago. At least they're getting names associated with good Speculative fiction involved.

    I would rather they leave the Leslie Neilsen/Robby the Robot epic alone and just do a version The Tempest with Science Fiction/Fantasy overtones. (Go back to the original film's roots)

    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, bitch. Say what you will about Avatar, but Cameron has made some of the greatest Sci Fi films of all time.



    And fyi, the bitch thing was a joke. You're cool, JP.

    "The Abyss" and "Aliens" are two of my most favorite Sci-Fi films ever created -- absolutely incredible films. Not a fan of "Titanic" or "Avatar" though. It would be nice to see Cameron getting back to basics though.

    AHEM....what about Terminator 1 & 2?

    I actually like Titanic. It takes a lot of heat, but I think it's great.

    "Aliens" / "Abyss" = Basics? LOL! Nothing particularly basic about those suckers

    The directors cut of The Abyss is just amazing!
