If he'd only died after...

Which one? I know he's committed to several over the years but they eventually fell apart. And IMDb lists all of his current ones as in pre-production (IMDb is not good at keeping that current though) which is where the others collapsed.

I thought he was just producing Battle Angel and Avatar for Rogue with others directing.

But it isn't a bubble to be burst. I don't want Cameron to stop making movies, I'm hoping he gets back in the game.

Hmm, I don't buy it.

Though I have been guilty of feeling this way in the past, I eschew the 'what have they done for me lately' line with the new & improved, 'live and let produce crappy things.'

So Mel Brooks may want to recycle his old films to make a few bucks -- I say, go ahead! The Who wants to make a new album? OK by me. And if George Lucas want to make another Star Wars series, I say, do so, with my blessings! Indeed, I may even go see them! (Though probably not.)

And what of the Beatles? Is the Love project or 'Free as a Bird' really such a bad thing? Who does it harm? I happen to be a big fan of both. And if 'Real Love' isn't a great pop song, then I do not know what is.

Paul McCartney once told a story about working with Brian Wilson. Brian said (and I am paraphrasing) that he could never make another record like Pet Sounds because he is no longer that same person, in that same place and time.

So does that mean he should pack it all in? Or, Heaven forbid, die early?

I submit the answer is, no.

So sayeth me.

Can I get a witness?

Recycle his old films? Much as I love him, he's never stopped writing vaudeville shtick for Sid Caesar.
