"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?

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.

awepittance Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited November 22, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46195-james-camerons-avatar/page/19/#findComment-1171650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) 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) Edited November 22, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46195-james-camerons-avatar/page/19/#findComment-1171662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazen Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 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.
