    Cameron thought after Titanic that was the path to success.

      It all depends on what you consider success. If making obscene amounts of money is success, he's quite successful.
      It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          Spaceships are a different trope, I think. IIRC, Han Solo's ship wasn't an operating theory either.

          P.S. Have I told you that H.R. Giger totally looks like an old lesbian?

            the Millennium Falcon is quite comparable with a bachelor's lair while the ship in Alien was a gritty place comparable with the city in Blade Runner.

            No, and I consider such as "information not needed"
            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                  I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone in particular, but people who do not "get" and/or enjoy Blade Runner are held in particularly high esteem in Casa del Guynemer.

                      Did you leave out a negative in this sentence or do you agree with me that the movie is crap?

                        He was an awesome author. Pity about the movies.

                          And Joel McHale in the Title role!!!!!! He would also be good in a remake of Fletch.

                          ACK!

                                I left a negative out of that sentence because I'm an idiot and saw around 50 patients today.
