Sounds like Cameron’s jealous panties are in a knot.

Is he still mad he lost out on Best Picture to his ex-wife?

Rosie O’Donnell was runner up for the part, but she was narrowly edged out by a hot-looking Israeli. Damn, could’ve been such a great movie /s

Yawn.

Although Cameron is a monumental filmmaking talent, he’s also a colossal trick with a p.

Oh well.

The aerodynamics were like a brick and so nobody would find it believable. And besides, they couldn't source that much brass on short notice.

Yup. Translation: “I didn’t make that movie, so how good could it be?”

"... I feel like I’m shouting in a wind tunnel!”

Hey, leave poor Whoppie out of it, Cameron. What'd she ever do to you?

In other words; “Why didn’t I take that directing job when it was offered to me? I could have done it so much better. Then I would be the one getting high-fived around the world right now. Right now, I’m stuck on this assembly line, grinding out movie after movie about ugly, blue aliens destroying the dominant race and saving Mother Earth and I’m missing out on the fun stuff!”

'No right and wrong kind of powerful woman:' Patty Jenkins fires back at James Cameron for calling Wonder Woman 'step backwards' for feminism

Brava, Ms. Jenkins!

I mean, half the audience is female!”

Do they care that half the audience are conservatives?

Nope, they seem to think only liberals should go to the movies.

Cameron makes great "big popcorn pictures", but I still believe his mega bucks TITANIC pales in comparison to the lesser seen A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.

James Cameron is a step backward in manliness.

sexist pig cameron hates it when a strong female is depicted with superpowers: such powers should belong exclusively to the boys club.

Wonder Woman defies liberal insistence that female heroes be butch man haters.

I wouldn't say Cameron's movie pales in comparison. I like both, but probably slightly prefer the earlier film. I also like Titanic with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck. The ending, with Clifton Webb and his son and the rest of the people on board singing "Nearer My God to Thee" is better than the endings of either of the other two IMHO.

They just wanted to give her the award for the Hurt Locker. Her Zero Dark Thirty was far superior!

Has he watched any of his movies? All 3 of his “powerful” women show up nude, or virtually nude, in the movie. Guess “objectification” is okay when done by him.
