I suspend my disbelief just fine when there is some element of reality to ground the picture. Avatar had very little to relate to as a live-action movie, since nearly everything was CGI or CGI-enhanced. As I said before, the Star Wars prequels suffer from the exact same thing.

I don't have a problem with CGI. I have a problem with movies that use nothing BUT CGI to tell their live-action stories. It makes the film feel cold and lifeless to me, since nothing in it is actually real but it's all supposed to be.

Re: So What Does Cameron Do Now?
Again, you are unable or unwilling to suspend your disbelief when it comes to CGI (integrated with live action). Nothing wrong with that as long as you avoid CGI-fests because you are bound to be disappointed by them (why subject yourself to them if you know you can't "get there" with films loaded with CGI), and then comes the inevitable negative posts from your POV. Most people get that you didn't enjoy Avatar. Why continue to harp on it. Why can't you just let go of Avatar or Cameron related topics?

I think this thread needs less trying to suppress Draven for having an opinion, and more baseball analogies for the Speilberg-Cameron comparison/debate.

Spielberg has a better portfolio, Cameron is a bigger money maker.

The Box was a pretty big flop, but I don't know that it requires any immediate action on her part. Let's wait and see how Knight & Day does before making any plans.

Before he makes another movie, Cameron needs to spend a little time approving new Blu-ray transfers of The Abyss, True Lies and Titanic.
