File under Pointless But Fascinating. James Cameron talks trash about Piranha 3D, which is no great surprise since Cameron clearly thinks he’s some kind of modern-day Orson Wells, but the lengthy trash-response from P3D producer Mark Canton is really interesting. I can only characterize it as a literary tantrum. Directed at James Cameron. Which is silly. Read the exchange.
And, for the record, I thought Piranha 3D was WAY better than Avatar.

There’s nothing more refreshing than a big Hollywood movie with a plot based on sound science. Since those don’t exist, the Film Pigs watched The Core instead. We’re not sure what was more astounding: the Space Shuttle crash landing in the LA river (which could TOTALLY happen), the amount of people per square mile that have pacemakers, or Stanley Tucci’s wig.
None of the clearly well-researched science in this movie would be believable if Aaron Eckhart hadn’t been sporting the frosted surfer-boy locks that were so common among scientists of the early 2000s. And who knew The Next Karate Kid could pilot a train with a laser on front straight into the earth?
