Has James Cameron always been insane and I just didn't notice it before?

I’m in the ‘Avatar’ business. Period. That’s it. I’m making ‘Avatar 2,’ ‘Avatar 3,’ maybe ‘Avatar 4,’ and I’m not going to produce other people’s movies for them. I’m not interested in taking scripts. And that all sounds I suppose a little bit restricted, but the point is I think within the ‘Avatar’ landscape I can say everything I need to say that I think needs to be said, in terms of the state of the world and what I think we need to be doing about it.

At least he's not in the titanic business.

Yeah... Take that grammar bully!!!

Don't tell Mary I told you this because she gets terribly persnickerty when I pick her up on things. I tried to deflect her ire earlier and I think it's worked so mum's the word. Okay? Okay.
Basically because you were talking about how I refer to you on the internets, it's only the acronym which is relevant since I never call you aught else.

And also, how was your holiday? Plz post some pics or do something else.

P.S. MBM isn't an acronym. Well, it would take a very talented Welshman to convert it so, but I'm not feeling hopeful.

Nope, both 'a' and 'an' are acceptable in written form in this case since MBM is actually short for something.

Yeah... Take that grammar bully!!!

He's more of a grammar curmudgeon.

Why do I suspect if everyone on the planet was asked which country this occurred in, the correct answer would be unanimous?

Well, now. What retort is left now you've already negated my presupposed 'we don't use vowels in Wales so nerr'.

Je suis stumped.

Maybe it's the big American flag in the background. Just guessing...

And he's moving here to do it Weta Digital (a Weta is a huge New Zealand insect like a grasshopper on 'roids) and James Cameron are collaborating on the first project with the second projected as we speak. He has already purchased two farms here totalling over 1,000 hectares including the largest private lake in New Zealand and will be moving here. It was Weta and James Cameron which designed the totally new kind of 3D cameras and image processing systems which made Avatar such a success. But Avatar 4....

He just came back from a 3 month expedition to the Titanic as part of National Geographic's 100 years since the ship sank and is considered an expert on the ship, so much so that he is an explorer in residence with National Geographic for his work on the Titanic so after twenty years, yeah he's been in the Titanic business too, a bit.
