James Cameron and me

      Sometimes the world turns in unexpected ways. Got sent a link where James Cameron, evidently, issued a press release saying that his only projects going forward will be Avatar sequels. Now, I could write at length about why a creative person would paint themselves into a creative corner like that, but will focus on the real issue.
      When Cameron bought the movie rights to the non-fiction book Last Train From Hiroshima he was pushing a massive pile of his poker chips onto the table. Now he has thrown his cards on the table and walked away. Those chips are still on the table. Does Hollywood know those chips are still on the table? Are they looking at their own cards and thinking it's a pretty weak hand I have, but Cameron walked away, so maybe those chips can be all mine!
      Here is the link.

Cameron makes a vow.
