As one of my Jesuit high school teachers taught our class, since only God is perfect, even if a man purposely tries to be 100% evil, 100% of the time, that man will certainly fail and, occasionally, come up with something really good and, sometimes, downright lovable.

Later in 1933, Adolf Hitler met with Ferdinand Porsche to discuss Hitler's idea of a volkswagen. Hitler proposed a people's car that could carry 5 people, cruise up to 62mph, return 33mpg, and cost only 1000 Reich Marks. This was an opportunity for Porsche to push his idea of a small car foward, as was it to help Hitler get a real people's car for the citizens of Germany.

Cameron has stolen all of his ideas.

Eaters of the Dead? Beowulf.

Avatar? Pocahontas.

Timeline? HG Wells.

Aliens? The Thing.

And on, and on, and on...

Yeah, he re-makes great ideas into new packaging and he does it very well. But if the guy ever had a truly original thought I would be surprised.
