and I cant not rate the guy who did T1 and Aliens.

Please tell me I wasn't the only guy who was cheering on the iceberg over this piece of over-developed, over-made tosh?

Passable. Paint Your Wagon on the other hand...

Granted. However one bad film in a 50yr career is bloody good going. Every Which Way But Loose is a great film, if you're a red neck hill-billy, country & western loving pinko.

I've never rated Cameron as a director, however, I have a high regard for his technical brilliance. Following the Titanic movie, he developed an interest in the subject, enough to hire a Russian submersable craft and with specially designed cameras, functioning without a trailing cable, filmed the interior of Titanic. Fairly unique footage at the time.

It made for an interesting 3D film - 'Secrets Of The Deep'

I got punched in the arm by my girlfriend at the time for laughing when bodies were bouncing off the ship as they fell in to the sea. It was the highlight of the film. Mills & Boon on a ship.

Harvey Keitel?

Sean Connery has made a few duffers:
Zardoz
Shalako
The man with the Deadly Lens

**Rooper** · 15-02-2010, 18:05

Ron Jeremy?

**maguire** · 15-02-2010, 18:10

Zardoz - proof that drugs are bad, mmmmkay?

* shrugs *

like I say, I was prepared to hate it - I was surprised as anyone else to be wrong.

I went to see that with a soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend in some fleapit in The Forest of Dean. Wasn't looking forward to it, wasn't enjoying it UNTIL some Forester Inbred shouted "oooh, the've 'it an iceberg".
Only in the Forest could you find someone who didn't know the basic plot of "Titanic"
