Amen--and now maybe we won't have to waste any more afternoons or evenings sitting through another one of Cameron's interminable, over-hyped, way over-produced, anti-septic, silly "message" movies, with little heart and even less soul, with actors who aren't acting and a plot you couldn't find if you had a map. The guy doesn't direct movies, he directs production brochures. And I'm just delighted the Academy agreed with me :) and passed the Oscars on to those movies that actually deserved it. You know, the ones that had all that old-fashioned stuff like plot, acting and stories with characters people actually could care about. Sal
