I hate Titanic as a story. I love everything about the ship itself though. I wish he had concentrated more on that aspect instead of focusing on two completely unlikable characters since I didn't really care what happened to either one of them. However, it was directed brilliantly and it's a beautiful movie to look at. But I still don't like it as a film. I love everything else he's made though and he's one of my favorite directors.

He's a genius because he looks at the human themes and metaphors behind science fiction stories. It's not just lasers and robots for fun. He goes beyond that and it shows on a subconscious level in the filmmaking craft (dialog, acting, editing etc)

No matter how much of an impatient perfectionist (almost to the point of being annoying) Cameron is, he sure makes for a very interesting listen. You need to have a mind like this to make the kind of movies he has. Fascinating individual.

As Arnold said in an interview. There is two James Camerons. One before film shooting, and the one on set. Cameron is very passionate on set, he wants things to be done the right way, and he does not care how he gets the shot, as long as he gets it. But when he is not making a film he is the most humble kind man, just a guy loving to have a good time, tell jokes and live life.

James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is... James Cameron.

I tend to just resolve the John Connor paradox by thinking that in the way that events first happened John had a different father, possibly the douche who stood Sarah up in T1. When John sent Reese back and T1 happened the original John wasn't concieved and John #2, Kyle's son, is the John we see in T2-Salvation.

Time-travel is a headache of a topic to debate because it gets so confusing. This is the argument I've had with people in the past, because they cannot understand (or accept) at one point the John Connor we know would never had existed until say someone went back. The timeline in the original film was most likely not the original timeline, James Cameron basically just said what I say is several events occurred before leading to the story we know today. The funny thing is Skynet might not have been the problem at the start, that's how strange time-travel can get!!!

please do a movie based on the manipulation of quantum superposition in where a group alters the past by mathematically predicting the outcome of said manipulation to their benefit, but obviously something goes wrong and now they either must survive what they have done, or attempt to alter it back. If they do attempt to fix what they caused have it spin off into a sequel by ending the first movie in a cliffhanger.
