Camerons a ho mo
nobody sued tarantino when he copied materials form many other films. sergio leone and lucas werent sued either when they took ideas wholesale from kurosawa films. and i didnt notice the wachowskis being sued by william gibson and masamune shirow for the matrix.eh, it's mostly this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_Me_Joe
not that Avatar's audience would read much oldschool scifi, but not everybody has the clout Ellison had when he sued Cameron for trying to plagiarise his stuff in Terminator.
you say Cameron is "sincere", i say he's a pretentious hack. tomato-tomahto.
even if you have a thing against the guy, give credit where its' due. cameron conceived the idea of the queen, he did the initial design drawing, and he wrote the screenplay and directed the film. the queen is his.Stan Winston did, bro.
Tarantino outright named his homages in his movies and never claimed credit for them. Lucas and Leone both gave Kurosawa his due credit before their movies even came out in theaters. the Wachowskis did the same. Cameron stood on the shoulders of giants and called himself "king of the world". what that tells me about Ellison is you should never plagiarise the biggest name in contemporary scifi literature and not expect repercussions. in the end, it took Cameron going to court for him to concede Ellison's work in the end credits on Terminator. he probably won't get sued for plagiarising Avatar, but it would help his credibility to at least acknowledge where he did it. i think he'll just get away with it and laugh all the way to the bank.nobody sued tarantino when he copied materials form many other films. sergio leone and lucas werent sued either when they took ideas wholesale from kurosawa films. and i didnt notice the wachowskis being sued by william gibson and masamune shirow for the matrix.
i guess that should tell you all about ellison.
