“I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but that is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D. When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that’s not what’s happening now with 3-D. It is a renaissance—right now the biggest and the best films are being made in 3-D. Martin Scorsese is making a film in 3-D. Disney’s biggest film of the year—Tron: Legacy—is coming out in 3-D. So it’s a whole new ballgame.“
Cheapens the medium? Huh?
So Disney is blowing canyons of money on Tron. So Scorsese is gonna do a 3D film. What does that have to do with anything? Why can’t we have films like Piranha 3D too? I don’t like the implication that fun horror films aren’t “important” enough to join the 3D club. F that. Alice in Wonderland (which Cameron considers one of the good ones) will be mostly forgotten in ten years. I’ll still be talking about the hilarious under-water-lesbian-opera scene from Piranha 3D.
And you leave Friday the 13 Part 3 alone, sir.

I have come to the conclusion that James is gay, Who could not like all the 3-D boobies Piranha has to offer.
I do not like this man. I hope his face gets torn off in a motorboat accident.
I don't care if Avatar made 5 Billion dollars, had sex with my wife and fixed CHUD's verification all in one shot, it still sucked Mr Cameron!
Anyone really surprised by this? He'll call any other movie that's 3D shit. And when Titantic has worse 3Dness than the other Avatar he'll say we're all retards and that it's just as good as his Avatar.
Cameron deserves to be fucked in every hole by 3D metal men covered in blue fur for such a cockfaced comment.
Aaaah the CHUD Avatar bitterness continues, even as Devin's footsteps recede. It's hilariously predictable 😉 it was a wonderful movie which connected with the vast, vast majority of filmgoers across the planet. Live with it, you tiny, embittered tools.
"Disney’s biggest film of the year—Tron: Legacy—is coming out in 3-D." Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland disagree with that statement, James.
I would seriously be happy if I never had to hear anyone caring about his opinions regarding movies ever again.
He cares about the box office. That's it.
Had PIRANHA 3D been a successful blockbuster making $100+ million at the box office he'd most likely be congratulating it as a great success.
And if Piranha 3D makes me think of cheap 80s movies how is Tron NOT supposed to make me think of the 80s itself?
To quote Wallace Wells:
"What a perfect asshole."
@1: Cameron has a right to be gay – his wife left him for another woman.
Here's the thing, Cameron credits himself for the reinvention of 3D in media. He talked about how it was the wave of the future over 5 years ago. And so, it's almost like he considers anything that is in 3D to be apart of his creation. It's what is known as creative claim. So when he sees movies like Tron, and the name Scorsese attached to something he credits himself for creating, he likes it. But when he sees stuff like P3D, he sees it as a stain on his so-called "creation". This guy is self centered. I would argue he probably doesn't even respect other great directors as artists.
Cameron is a cunt. Avatar Special Edition has bombed, see Jim people aren't dumb enough to buy your repackaged shit a second time. I hope he dies of anal cancer.
Will you guys kindly shut the fuck up until he finishes Battle Angel? The more shit you talk, the faster Avatar 2 might come to try and prove you wrong (and start this whole thing over again).
FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D is the only reason I give a shit about 3D movies (& PIRANHA 3D was awesome btw). Sure AVATAR did well, but I'm shocked at how proud James Cameron is of his ultra by-the-numbers rehash (evidence: http://www.madatoms.com/site/blog/avatar-dances-with-wolves). It's very well done generic slop and even though you knew how exactly the movie would end 30 seconds into it, it was still entertaining enough to go along on the ride. Is it a revolutionary "game changer?" Certainly no more than PARENT TRAP III (not to ruin the twist, but the parents get "trapped" into marriage by those clever triplets – something Haley Mills' character really should have seen coming). James Cameron your farts smell awful (and YOU were the only person SHOCKED that AVATAR didn't sweep the Oscars).
Shut the fuck James Cameron you make me dislike you more and more every time you open your mouth.
Why can't we have films like Piranha 3D too?
Because remakes suck. That movie was only good for Kelly Brooks naked body, and that wasn't on screen for nearly long enough to satisfy me.
