Great read/mind, I could talk to you for hours about this stuff IRL..
Haven't seen the 'Director's Cut of The Abyss (IE: Cameron's preferred version)'
Is it also your preferred version?

Great read. Thanks, Yoda. So if I understand correctly I might have to watch Avatar 2 in theatres to help? Hm not sure I can do that.

As described a bit in the essay, it's just horrendously overwrought, even for Cameron. It's the "beat the audience over the head" stuff he was allowed to do in T2. I think Cameron's a perfect example of a creator who benefits from notes and artistic constraints and the like. He's like a one-man nihilistic focus group, always thinking it has to be dumbed down and simpler to be understood.

Robots will never be able to dominate the world since it's impossible to program emotions, of which determination is one. AI is too stupid to take over anything. It can do what it's programmed to do, and naught else. Sorry.
