But... he liked Avatar

then why did he give Avatar a good review?

fucking spineless hypocrite

but he liked avatar...

he wrote that in the 80s when 3-D sucked.

I can't stand him, but he's right this time.

He spent a night arguing with a fake James Cameron twitter. The man is made for /tv/.

i second this

3D is shit

I didn't know Twitter was that old. I can't imagine having it on usenet.

>>7995167
source?

>>7995215
Just go back to his old twitter posts (I know he makes a lot of them). It was the weekend before the Avatar release, and Fox had put a ban on critic's giving reviews.

The funniest part it that the fake twitter is probably really Cameron.

I guess we will have to wait until we get holotold in some point in the future. (Holographic 3D is glassless and allows for normal focusing like on real life objects, it also allows for realistic parallax headmovement.)

>Cameron promised he'd unveil the next generation of 3-D in "Avatar." I'm a notorious skeptic about this process, a needless distraction from the perfect realism of movies in 2-D. Cameron's iteration is the best I've seen -- and more importantly, one of the most carefully-employed. The film never uses 3-D simply because it has it, and doesn't promiscuously violate the fourth wall. He also seems quite aware of 3-D's weakness for dimming the picture, and even with a film set largely in interiors and a rain forest, there's sufficient light. I saw the film in 3-D on a good screen at the AMC River East and was impressed. I might be awesome in True IMAX.

3D is the wave of the future. They just haven't perfected it yet.
All you naysayers will eat your words.

Yeah, I don't see any hypocrisy. He's basically saying that 3-D is a gimmick, but it can still be used well.

3D right now is pretty much like when the DS first came out.

I will never wear "3d glasses" in front of my TV to watch a movie.

3D is a gimmick as much as surround sound and CGI are gimmicks. Used correctly they can add a lot of depth and creativity to a movie. Used incorrectly and we get a TV movie.

Unfortunately the easiest way to use 3D atm is to just convert stuff after it has been shot rather than shooting in 3D like cameron.

The future of cinema is still expensive.

Charlie Chaplin said that talking had no future, and film was a visual medium.

Cameron has been talking about the same thing. He's pissed.
