Well, Hollywood is at it again with the latest James Cameron feature, Avatar. The budget is rumored to be in excess of $200 million dollars. The technology supposedly ground-breaking in the 3d effects digital world. Do we need to spend this much money for a one and a half our block of entertainment? Will the millions of Americans that are out of work go and see this film to forget their woes? It seems silly and over the top to spend this much on a film considering the state of the economy and truly serious issues in the world. If James Cameron is that great at churning out blockbuster films for exorbitant budgets, maybe he has a few ideas on jump starting the economy, giving health care for all, feeding the poor, etc. I would really like his opinion on these issues, and would like to ask him how he feels justified in spending over $200 million on a film.
