Kilmer not being nominated for Tombstone was criminal.

That was great but so was Dennis Quaid in Wyatt Earp. I thought the ending to Tombstone was a bit mushy. Either way seeing Johnny Ringo take one to the head is something I've replayed 1,000 times. I'm your huckleberry!

True, but that was a killer year for performances.... The nominees that year included Tom Hanks (Winner, Philidelphia), Daniel Day Lewis (In the Name of the Father), Laurence Fishburne (What's Love Got To Do With It), Anthony Hopkins (Remains of the Day), and Liam Neeson (Schindler's List)... I didn't see Remains of the Day, so I can't judge Hopkin's performance, but I would imagine it was really good... I suppose looking back, I would have swapped Laurence Fishburne with Val Kilmer, but it's hard. He was great in What's Love Got To Do With It... That said, Kilmer was incredible in Tombstone. I do think he needed to be there... But it was a banner year for great performances...

I wonder which one it was. No way they'd kill off Frodo or Sam (I hope), so I'm going to guess it was Merry because he became so sick after he stabbed the Witch-king. Thank heavens Jackson had enough sway to stop them.

I'm glad Peter Jackson wouldn't listen to producers. JRR Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings books and none of the hobbits died in them. What possessed them to think it was a good idea to kill one of them? I seriously wonder about producers sometimes.

Some of the producers wanted to kill a Hobbit, but they survive in the book. Jackson stuck to the book. However, he didnt include the fact that the Shire is attacked but survives. afterall, the story covers more than a few years in the books at least.

So i assumed he would cut corners when i heard he was going to make the Hobbit movies, and he did. I think it has more to do with the so called higher ups wanting them then him pressuring the so called higher ups. I sure there is at least officially why it had to be three movies and not two or just one.
The whole bit with Cameron just wanting to do a deep dive is fairly well known. The man is obsessed with the ocean. Also, Titanic feckin' BLOWS…

Terminator 2 and Aliens are both James Cameron masterpieces.
At the end, Harry realizes his hands must have power and proceeded to intentionally turn Quirrell into dust. I feel like that should count, no?
If Tolkien didn't write it then it doesn't happen.

No it isn't. Some similarities
The Abyss..... My favorite and I think just ahead of aliens or T2 as his technically, "best". Although to me probably the one that resonates the most is his first foray into mainstream success. The original Terminator was a movie that I saw at the theater probably three or four times, that was a great year for movies and The Terminator was one that really stood out. But I think his best movie in my favorite, probably because the writing and acting was up to snuff with the production value. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying there's a lot of stinker performances out there in his movies although the first Terminator probably wasn't a thespian's delight, the acting in his movies is decent across the board a little better than average in Titanic of course, but I think the best acting from a Cameron film comes in the abyss for sure. Combined with the amazing story, the cool special effects, makes it the complete package. Despite its dorky finish. I can live with it, I know it's a little goofy but it didn't necessarily totally ruin the movie it just was kind of a goofy end

I was disgusted with Titanic. It was overrated. I fast-forward through it. Richard Gere is a phenomenal actor and should have won the Oscar several times already. Bette Midler was robbed of Oscar. She was THE Rose.
"Facts that are somehow true?" Ummm...
Aside: Titanic didn't deserve the success or most of the awards. Cameron hasn't made a good film for a long long while. Every film he's made has shown a decline in quality, excepting The Abyss (which was positive) and True Lies (which was negative).
James Cameron desecrated a mass grave so he could make a movie. It's disgusting, the ship is starting to dissolve due to all the trips down.

He was not the first to see the ship. It was Marine explorer Dr. Robert Ballard in 1985 and there have been others before Cameron, and those who have taken items from the ship like plates and other such items. The ship is going to dissolve sooner or later due to strong and ever-changing ocean currents, metal-eating bacteria and natural salt corrosion.
