In response to "What exactly is "important" about Avatar?" by Ender

Because James Cameron is junior Stephen Spielberg!

Apparently.

In that both have created movies wherein technology advances while still being understudies to the important parts of movies. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:08
I think there is a solid argument to be made that Cameron has had a more consistent career than Spielberg. -- nm - David Dec 2, 11:53 2
- Quality vs quantity plays in. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:02 1
  - Yup, Spielberg chose the prolific route. The chances of having a dud significantly increase the more movies you make. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 12:06
Disagree: not junior, but wannabe -- nm - OAE Dec 2, 11:51
people can see what I mean when I say that, though, right? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:47 7
- Totally, even though I still like both directors a lot. - con_carne Dec 2, 11:53 5
  - "Indulgent" is the word I'm thinking of, but neither director is completely so, IMO -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:58 4
    - That's exactly the right word. And you're right, neither one fully succumbs to the indulgence ... but they do stray from the path, at times. - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:00 3
      - To be honest, if I had the career, success and acclamation of either, I'd be an ego-driven self-indulgent buffoon too -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:01 2
        
        Oh, me too :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 12:04
        
        If I had the career, success, and acclimation of either ... I'd be a reclusive hermit. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:04
- Wait, you said that? - Spawn Dec 2, 11:50
