no.the Oscars nominations were announced on Tuesday.plus,i think it's a very interesting coincidence that the day the Oscars were announced is the same day it hits the number 1 spot of all time in the US...just surprised no one noticed that.

i'm so great.

Actually you are right. It is my bad. However, Tuesday's numbers doesn't come till Wednesday, so there is no way the two news report coincide the way you'd imagine.

Because it is based on a religious idea: when you die, you go to another world. James Cameron is a genius.

1) Cameron believes there's more money on the table for this movie.

Quote from: James Cameron @ LA Times
We're working on finishing an additional six minutes of the film -- which includes a lot of Weta work -- for a theatrical re-release in August. We were sold out of our IMAX performances right up to the moment until they were contractually obligated to switch to "Alice in Wonderland," so we know we left money on the table there. And the 3-D really helped "Avatar" right up until the moment that it hurt it. And it hurt it at the moment "Alice" and then "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Clash of the Titans" came in and sucked up all the 3-D screens. We went from declining 8% a week to declining 50%. Clearly, it wasn't market forces directly; it was the availability of theaters. So we're going to wait until there's a time to come back in, inject the new footage into the mix and see if we can interest people in the "Avatar" experience in theaters.


2) Get ready for more awesomeness - he's planned to set a portion of the sequel in... the Pandora ocean!

Quote from: James Cameron @ LA Times
We created a broad canvas for the environment of film. That's not just on Pandora, but throughout the Alpha Centauri AB system. And we expand out across that system and incorporate more into the story – not necessarily in the second film, but more toward a third film. I've already announced this, so I might as well say it: Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment – a different setting within Pandora. And I'm going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won't be a rain forest. I'm not saying we won't see what we've already seen; we'll see more of that as well.

Cameron is the new Lucas. I love the precision with which he's tallied declining percentages per week. Maybe he interned as a box office analyst? All he sees are dollar signs now...

Far as I'm concerned, Cameron died with THE TITANIC.
