so: none more douchey?
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yes, this, I think God has a *cameron* complex. On a tangentially related note, in some AU where Aguaman is real, a Transformers commercial came on the other day, in all its messy, loud glory and I said to Mom "Michael Bay made that. Now, do you see why Vince was all "Ice-cream headache" about A2?" Mom said she did. I wish all object lessons were that easy. Universal healthcare would be no problem, then. ETA: Maybe not *none*, Laga. Joe Francis still lives, but Cameron is a pretty strong contestant in the Summer's Eve Invitational.

Bless him for creating Sarah Connor and Ripley
He did a good job using Ripley, but he didn't create her, so don't give him too much credit.
He did create badass Ripley, I have to admit (though I suspect Sigourney had a little bit of say in that too).

Compassionately intolerant
Cameron has an uncanny ability to make people want to see him fail.
This sentence pretty much sums up the whole article.

Cameron is a Tooly McToolperson, and yet, irritatingly, he's responsible for some of my favorite female characters despite himself.
Doesn't make me NOT want to spork him, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I know someone who worked on Avatar for a year and a half. In spite of every story he told making Cameron sound unbearably horrendous, he said the crew sticks with him because at least his tantrums are always because he wants the film to be amazing, rather than to throw his weight around or thet he's someone that's great to work with but is a hack who kowtows to the Studios all the time. DH's response to him was that he drank the Koolaid.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I worked for the special effects company that worked on The Abyss. And, yes, Cameron is a complete asshole.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've always thought it was a bittersweet story but I don't have a copy so I can't revisit it to see why I feel that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hie thee to a bookstore!
Playing yourself onscreen. TV and movies. God bless NPH. Patrick Stewart has traumatised me.
