I’m watching Aliens right now just thinking how many more movies he could’ve done instead of entering the world of Pandora (and pretty much locking the door behind him). Full disclosure: Not an Avatar fan. I tried and tried. It never clicked. But one weekend watching The Terminator, its sequel, The Abyss, Titanic (we committed), subsequently throwing on True Lies the next morning. There’s not one moment in any of these films that isn’t wholly satisfying in every way for any film fan out there. But Avatar puts a halt on his career. Whole decades lost. He’s such a neat guy. I would’ve loved to have seen him make some more films from his mind. He’s never given enough credit writing some of these indelible, classic motion pictures. So damn you, Avatar. Gives us back our J. Cam!
