    What’s fascinating about this franchise is that I always thought it was just a vanity project! It happened to be profitable when it came out because it was kid-friendly.

    James Cameron is the king of “why did so many people care about that at the time?”

    The public’s obsession with Titanic in 1997 seems eyeroll-inducing now. I remember going to used media stores and copies of Titanic on VHS were everywhere.

      Yeah I thought he just wanted to make like, the ultimate 3D movie experience, and being uninterested in 3D, I never went to see it (I also think the character design is pretty bad but whatever). After the latest 3D resurrection died I was surprised to hear of a sequel.
