You brought up Avatar's OST! I can't be held accountable for where this thread goes now. And yes, I know exactly the cue you're talking about. Shame it didn't make it.

I just realized that there is a good chance Titanic is going to join Avatar in the 2 billion dollar club. It only needs to make $160m worldwide.
Well, that might be true in the conversions as of yet, and it would make sense, as the frame doesn't have any depth information, so if you were to give it greater depth I imagine you'd inherently also get stretching artifacts around objects, so you'd want specific objects themselves not to have much depth, and build the depth only based on objects being placed in the depth, not the objects themselves being '3D', or 'pop up book' style as it's being called it seems. However, no one has ever put this much effort into a 3D conversion. It'll be interesting to see if it's worth the effort as a viewer (it's obviously worth it for the studio, because it'll make money).
As much as Avatar was a technical leap, it was also tech demo Cameron was using to sell 3D to the world, and it worked, very effectively. Now he's trying to sell the world 'dimsionalization', so he's clearly going to do it well, assuming it's possible.
Ultimately, it's kind of irrelevant to me, I'm seeing it for the novelty more than anything, I wouldn't be buying 3D blurays of 2D films any more than I'd buy a colourized version of a black and white film. 3D technology still feels like it's in it's infancy to me. Framerate switch ups, multiple rival glasses technologies etc. I think a big budget 3Dification of a 2D film is a natural part of having this technology progress.
What, why?

I imagine it was because half of the thread was filled with people complaining about double standards regarding gaf's policy for self-promotion.
I will still never forgive Cameron for cutting up "War" and hacking out the best 60 seconds of the song (and the entire score, for that matter), which should have hit when Trudy pops in to attack Quarritch. Instead, "War" cuts right off and some janky tune plays.
*raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage*
That's sad. Kagari really deserves it! The gaming side gets tons of kickstarter threads but Kagari can't go visit the Titanic?!?!
I am more offended by Horner's love theme sounding eerily similar to Titanics
Titanic and Avatar are almost like companion pieces in my mind, they're both a pretty simple love story set to an extraordinary back drop. Thematically they both involve people raping something of wealth historically for the gain of financial wealth.
I could imagine Cameron wanted deliberate allusions to Titanic in Avatar such as 'I see you' or certain musical references.

Avatar was what you got if Titanic and Aliens had sex.
Huh, I've never found them remotely similar; been listening to the Titanic soundtrack for a few days now and it sounds nothing at all like this, in style or theme. Now, weaving a direct rendition of the Glory theme into the mountain climbing sequence, that bugs me almost as much as the shitty cavalry charge cue.

Really? Is it in the movie? Which song?
Which part? Horner is well known for re-using sections and themes of his own music from film to film, but I have not heard suggestions that he uses others; this is the first such suggestion I've read.
Its funny. Danny Elfman and James Horner are two guys who love to reuse their own melodies, motifs and themes, and yet I find it only irks me with Elfman. I find Horner redresses his cues so well that not only do I not mind it, but often they feel almost like new cues.
All of which is to say I think Horner might actually be underrated. When Avatar came out people were deriding the score for being samey to older Horner stuff. 2.5 years later, I still listen to it all the time. Great score, fresh or not.

Those fund legitimate business ventures, not personal vacations.
The bit where Jake is gathering the tribes together just before the climax sounds almost exactly like a section from Gladiator, I noticed it when I watched it a few months back.

Don't forget the part where the big tree falls is ripped from A Beautiful Mind.
Kagari was gonna take pictures and videos and write a book about it.
Sounds like a business venture to me.
People were being stupid about it. There was some legitimate criticism, which I will definitely look at, but a number of people were derailing the thread with distasteful posts and complaints so I took it down. The project is of course still active, but I won't be talking about it on GAF anymore.
Was totally rolling my eyes about it when I saw Avatar in the theater. Cameron used his own line twice ><
Yeah, the new version is definitely thicker:
After Rose tries to jump off the ship during the day time when she meets Jack on the boat deck. "I see you, and I knew you wouldn't have jumped."
The full exchange makes it even more clear. The scene is while Rose is looking through Jack's drawings.
Rose: You have a gift, Jack. You see people.
Jack: I see you.
Rose: ...and? *prepares for compliment*
Jack: You wouldn't have jumped.
Rose: *glares*
Good grief. I'm reasonably sure I have every line of dialog memorized, after all these years.
nevermind

Ah, so he did change it for the remaster.

James Cameron: Making intelligent changes to his films.
It's odd because I've been thinking about that star map story. In the video, he claims Cameron was changing it for a ten year anniversary release, so I thought it was some DVD version and it never actually happened. It's cool to see Cameron did change it.
I was listening to the director's commentary recently, and Cameron said Jack claims to have gone ice fishing in a lake that didn't exist at the time, I gather Cameron hasn't corrected that?

He's the laziest filmmaker around, really. Makes George Lucas look like a dynamo, sitting on his chair before the viewing monitor for an entire 12 hour day.
I heard Cameron used to piss himself on set during The Abyss, because he was too lazy to walk off set to go to the toilets. Huge sloth.
