Seems like someone's lost his sense of humor.
Mega-director James Cameron took a little time during a recent Vanity Fair interview to let his thoughts be known about the new PIRANHA flick currently in theaters. I think someone needs a nap:
Vanity Fair: Was there any sense of nostalgia when the Piranha movie came out last weekend?
"Zero. You’ve got to remember: I worked on Piranha 2 for a few days
and got fired off of it; I don’t put it on my official filmography," he explained. "So
there’s no sort of fond connection for me whatsoever. In fact, I would
go even farther and say that... 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."
Yeah buddy, what you just outlined is what makes PIRANHA 3D so much damn fun. It's not taking itself so seriously that the joy is gone. It' doesn't have it's own political and social agenda that it's trying to shove down movie goers throats. It's just fun, easy going distraction. Jeez, lighten up will ya.
Seems that Cameron needs to step away from his 9 year mega projects and just make a good old fashioned FUN movie.
