How about James Cameron!He's now behind the top 2 biggest money-making movies of all time. Titanic and Avatar. Incredible... I'd just wish he would get involved with a new Terminator movie.... although I like T:Salvation, the ones Cameron directed were easily my favorites.

Sorry to rain on the parade but what's the hype around this movie? I've seen it. I wasn't any more impressed with it than I was with Toy Story.

I thought this movie was amazing. I too found the underlying message of the film to be touching and that's EXACTLY how I felt. At times it made me feel somewhat ashamed of being a human being. Thankfully I don't have the destructive tendancies like the war-mongers depicted in the film. I've never seen a film like this before in my life. The seamlessness of the special effects was unbelievable. Seeing it in IMAX 3D was a sight to behold. This movie is well-deserved to be the success it has become. One of the best films I've seen in recent years. Deep story coupled with amazing visuals = A+ film in my book.

I sometimes have a feeling he will though. I know he's constantly asked about it and since he DID leave the cog/gear severed T-800 arm in the steel mill at the end of T2. That means everything wasn't destroyed and he knows better than to do that, especially since he claimed that the story was over at the end of T2.ALSO, that was well said Puck, well said!
