Yeah, I'm starting to think little Jimmy Cameron isn't that bright. He strikes me as a guy who has been lucky enough to be surrounded by much more talented guys who have pushed him forward. Kinda like Lucas.

I don't think he was trying to attack the Marines on purpose.

Still, that's the overall public image. I want that image to fail.

Those amazing cameras aren't going anywhere. There will be more and better "True" 3D movies within a year and a half. I've already waited over 20, what's another few.

The next director will do a better job anyway. I bet little Jimmy's framing was static and unimaginative. Maybe not.

I don't think I care anymore.

Did anyone see the new Batman - Superman cartoon? Public Enemies?

Let's vote -

better as

Cartoon
Live Action

I say

Live Action

Thank you for your thoughtful responses. They really do make me think.

I've read in several places that they're Marines and they enjoy using their superior firepower to kill the weaker smurfs. I was under the impression that there are several scenes showing Marines as blood thirsty and evil.

Is this not true?

Not in this particular case.

No more anti-Marine films. No more. Especially at this scale. The only way to make that happen is to stop watching them.

If you watch them, they'll just make more.

I have been studying and creating 3D art since the 80s. I am a super GEEK. I was using VR goggles from the beginning. Enough that I know tricks that can cancel out the headaches, BTW. That's how hardcore with 3D immersive displays that I am.

I've been waiting for this technology to come to fruition since 1989 when the first article about this particular tech became available. To see a movie with this tech made using these cameras is a big deal that I've been waiting for, PATIENTLY, for 20 freakin' years. To say I've dreamed about seeing 3D done right with the proper cameras and replay technology would be a complete understatement.

I will never see this movie.

Marines, thank you so much for your service and putting your lives on the line for the Constitution.

Merry Christmas!

I was simply asking a few questions.

At this point in history and over the last 100 years, has there been any evidence that blacks don't require a large amount of outside assistance to be successful as a group?

What responsibility does the average white have in regards to the average black?

So if they, as a group, do require outside help to be successful, is that white people's responsibility?

If they don't require outside help, I'm just asking for some evidence.

I'm not saying I'm not racist. I never wanted to be, but I believe my views have become that.

That's why I ask these questions, in the hopes that someone could give me an explanation, without calling me names just for asking.

I'm definitely no commie.

Wow, everyone's comments have been very thoughtful without name calling and personal attacks. Better yet, I even learned a few things.

I think there are some well educated people on this thread. I do not mean to come across as snarky, but this may come across that way, hopefully not.

I don't think my question was answered, but maybe I should be more clear.

At this point in history and over the last 100 years, has there been any evidence that blacks don't require a large amount of outside assistance to be successful as a group?

What responsibility does the average white have in regards to the average black?

Finally, Should the Europeans have left the blacks alone to develop at their own pace?

Umm, what does Ancient Egypt have to do with blacks?

They were Egyptians. Same people still live there to this day. They're not what comes to mind when you think of Detroit.

They're just going to call you names. Most people still aren't ready to discuss this.

Everyone, call me names instead of Matt. Please just answer this one question -

Where in the world (or history) have blacks created a sustainable and admirable society?

Are you a bunch of liberals that need to call someone names when you can't argue the matter?

Let the flames commence -

I lost track of this thread, but someone said earlier

"what you earn is yours, not everyone else's."

Then someone said back

"Not because just anyone declares it so."

So I guess they disagree with the statement that the money we produce is ours.

I just have to say to that person -

You don't think that statement is true? You don't think what you earn is yours? You don't think having someone take away 75 dollars out of every 100 dollars, leaving you with only 25 dollars left, is wrong?

If so, could you please give me 75 bucks for every 100 you make to me? I'll spend it better than you. On things more important than you would.

Face it, you're too greedy to know how to spend it. Where I'm not.

I'm plain better than you.

I'm a member of the government.

Give me what you earned or I'll throw you in jail.

Does that seem fair to you?

6,000 years of recorded history and nothing has changed.
