Avatar is an incredible technological feat that will change cinema viewing but the story is in esscence Dances with Wolves re imagined crippled guy (KC - EMotionally SW Physically) meets kindly but strong tribe struggling to preserve way of life in the face of advancing 'civilization' ... Terminator & Aliens were Cameron's best work and he should re examine that John Ford like simplicity rather than letting his gigantic bombastic personality and even larger ego dictate to him.
I'm proud of Catherine Bigelow and the Academy its a triumph of art over the dumbing down of society, what's even better is that KB put some of her own money into the Hurt locker so she could gain creative control, wouldn't it be sweet if that money initially came from Cameron ...

For my money Aliens is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Rutger Hauer was great in "The Hitcher" also.
