    Now I've seen everything! Roland Emmerich criticizes a Cameron script?

    Read this and try not to grimace

    Like he's every made a 'movie'? Yes disposable pop-corn flicks, but not a good solid movie... He should try and learn a thing or two from Mr Cameron!

    Everyone knows that "Godzilla" is a vastly superior film to "The Abyss".

    sounds ridiculous, but then have you seen the music video cameron did recently?

    it was rubbish...maybe he's losing it

    This is the first I've heard of it, as well.

    Apparently it was for Bill Paxton's band, Martini Ranch and the song is called "Reach". It's the only video he's ever done. And he probably only did it because of his history with Paxton...

    I guess Cameron just isn't fit to direct music videos, but his ability to write a fantastic story and bring it to life is what makes him a great filmmaker. Either way, I say Emmerich hasn't made a great movie since Stargate, but even that story was stolen.

    Yes, mediocre video for a mediocre tune. Manson should've released 'Vampire' instead.
