I AM KING OF THE WORLD! Ranking James Cameron's Films

[Bedrockgames]

What exactly was his association with Worlds Away?

Not sure what this refers to

 

[ART!]

Was going to say exactly this.

Sounds like we need to get together for an Abyss watch!

Not sure what this refers to

That Cirque du Soleil thing he was somehow involved with

It seemed relevant to evaluating the similarity of Avatar to "a night at the circus" in terms of memorability and enjoyment

The Terminator at 40: did James Cameron see into the future?

The 1984 sci-fi thriller offers a grim view of the dangers that ‘the machines’ might pose for humanity as well as one of the most thrilling experiences of the decade

Terminator isn't any more relevant now than it was when it came out. And there were any number of movies, books, and plays prior to it with killer robots and computers. Including 2001 A Space Odyssey, Rossum's Universal Robots and The Second Variety

The thing that makes terminator relevant to me isn't so much its message (and I also think in the first movie it isn't really literal warning about AI, I almost read it more as about us losing our humanity through our technology). I think what made the film work for me was more how it worked on an emotional level and how it was crafted

Hall will always be the ultimate evil computer. I showed my wife 2001 for the first time and was worried she would find it dull, since it isn't exactly done in the style that most modern movies are. But she loved it

Why is it that movies from the 1960's-1970's are all so slow paced?

 

[Zardnaar]

Attention spans.

 

[Bohandas]

Attention spans.

If it's because people in the past had longer attention spans then why are movies from before those decades faster paced? As I pointed out (I think) on the horror movies thread, if you compare a movie like Dracula to something like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween, Dracula is much faster paced

Jaws was the "first summer blockbuster".

So yeah they changed the way they made them. More artistic less blockbuster pre jaws.

I noticed it watching old Bond movies.

In reteospect I think I've conflated the horror thread here with one of the threads on giant in the playground
