I wonder if cameron can pull off a wonderful action spectacle/sci romance, he has more of chance doing so than other directors that shall remain nameless.
As for Titanic the acting by winslet and dicaprio in that film were decent/togood, as a historical piece it was not accurate but it was accurate to conveying the emotions of the characters and jack was obviously the avatar for the males in the audience, as rose was for the female audience.
But i think a lot of that films feeling, haunting quality comes form the music. Horner won an oscar after all.
Star Wars fans will never forgive titanic for dethroning star wars, but if not for titanic then it would have been dark knight, so who cares.
The thing that put star wars into the number one spot again anyways was the illegitimate 1997 release with the added cartoon cgi. And the damn thing had been re-released so many times you think Lucas money bin must have been getting empty,lol.
