Spent 4 years on the language...

blimey. "I just wish that I had someone to talk to"

this quote from one of their other articles got me thinking:

  Quote

But though "Avatar" might be all that, it also defies conventional Hollywood wisdom that today's blockbuster movies need to be "pre-sold" as bestsellers ("Harry Potter," "The Lord of the Rings"), comic books ("Batman," "X-Men"), toys ("Transformers," the upcoming "Battleship") or based on other movies (every sequel ever made).

Have there been any other big budget FX movies recently that weren't comic adaptions or film adaptions or toy adaptions?

you mean like 2012?

yeah thats a good point. Also Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day by the same chap. They're not great ideas but at least they're not based on some existing brand.

The Matrix is another good example. Sprung onto the scene with no existing brand.

Here's that Human Tech feature mentioned on the last page, now embeddable

Also this one about the Colonel Quaritch character

There are some little spoilers in there:

will there be any butch lesbian or masculine females in this movie? they are a requirement for every james cameron film.

michelle rodriguez?

i was thinking the female Navi , michelle rodriguez is way too generically attractive though to fit the paradgim needed for this

or this

don't even need to mention sarah conner from pt 2, that's too obvious

my theory is that James Cameron the filmmaker finds it just important to light his sets and characters with blue as it is to include a very masculine acting female character

Great spotted!

Aliens has imo 3 masculine non typical female characters, newt being probably the most rugged little girl in a film since Road Warrior (nevermind the feral kid in that movie is a boy haha)

but isn't M R always playing a tough girl? I mean, I'd say she comes off tougher than Jamie Lee Curtis

Her smile in the new trailer makes me cum in my pants.

I thought Michelle Rodriguez was obvious in the tough chick role, poor girl is constantly typecasted.

Nice makeup "lol".

MORE NERD! YAY! GIANT SMURF KITTEN FROM SPACE!

this made me excited....

in my pants....

Michele Rodriguez's tits.....

and sci-fi weapons galore!!!!

"only in cinemas" my ass

Wait, there's nothing butch or masculine about Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies ... the theory holds for the other films though.

I think Mr Cameron just like to buck the obvious action movie trend by casting females in powerful roles rather than Damsell in Distress roles.

the character jamiee lee curtis plays isn't but i think she physically has a masculine look especially with short hair in the movie. trust me this is a cameron rule

I see what ur saying:

Aliens

Terminator and T2

True Lies

The Abyss

Titanic
