I mean he's kinda right though isn't he? I mean the MCU has like 24 films either released or planned, and Avatar has one film with four planned?

He's phrasing it like it should be a wide breadth of individual movies taking center-stage, while at the same time trying to push his own multi-movie franchise as the next Big Thing.

There's tons of sci-fi movies coming out every year. He's the loving producer on Alita, which comes out this summer. It's an asinine complaint for anybody to make. But coming from James Cameron he's just saying "I want the currently mega popular blockbuster sci-fi series to fail so my blockbuster sci-fi series can take it's place" Which it won't do by it's own merits because in the past five years not a single person on earth has remembered Avatar

The trailer makes it look like it's following the first bit of the manga pretty closely, so that gives me hope. At least it's not gonna be like Ghost in the Shell where they just crudely recreated some images from the original and slapped them on a stock Hollywood amnesia plot. OK, yeah, they have the advantage that Alita starts with a stock amnesia plot, but still!

When James Cameron said "there are other scifi stories" he doesn't mean they must all come from him. His contact list alone probably has a dozen people who made their own scifi movies without his input. Besides, I think a guy who made a handful of movies over 40 years have more right to talk about this than a company who boasts that they made almost 20 movies in the same series within a decade.

At least it's not gonna be like Ghost in the Shell where they just crudely recreated some images from the original and slapped them on a stock Hollywood amnesia plot. Ghost in the Shell is a fascinating trainwreck in its own right, because there's clearly a lot of love and effort put into planning it. Parts of it are drawn from across all of the franchise, (Kouse's from the second season of the TV series), and they even managed incidental details down to Togusa having a Mateba revolver even though his film screentime as anything other than a background character is almost nil. Every visual aspect of it is gorgeous, yet the plot is complete and utter garbage. Nevermind bending over backward with Scarlett Johansson as Yes I know about the ending, it's still unnecessarily stupid as hell.

If he could've released an Avatar film annually between the original one and now, he'd still make the same argument just because the MCU would almost certainly outperform them at the box office.

I'm not a fan of Avatar, but that area is pretty cool if I just think of it as stylized alien world instead of Avatar-land. Kinda wish they just went with that instead and didn't feel the need to shoehorn in the movie stuff, but they've been pretty focused on making everything new have some sort of movie connection lately. It makes sense, but it's a little sad that we're unlikely to get cool original stuff going forward.

The man who made Aliens and Terminator 2 has a lifetime pass against being considered "bad" His upcoming Avatar sequels will probably make a killing, because making money is what Cameron does

The Middelheim museum in Antwerp is building a new art piece in plasticine called 'Arc de Triomphe'. The museum orgenizes guided tours for schools almost every day. I guess the children are in for a 'big' surprise when they look up. I'm wondering how long it will take before someone cuts it off and brings it home as a souvenir.  https://i.imgur.com/cukVugb.png https://i.imgur.com/k5sLGYM.png

Who What Now posted:Only in a very pedantic sense, but there are stories I've heard of Catholic hospitals refusing to perform c-sections for that reason. Sorry for dragging this back up but that sounds awful. Do you have some links to that? Protip: go to a hospital that does a lot of C-sections. Childbirth can go bad fast with no indication and you could find yourself suddenly needing a C-section to save your life and/or your child's life. You'll want the A team for that.
