Don't mention these horrible movies. They are unmovies.
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

Re: James Cameron slams Wonder Woman
Nobody cared about Vasquez for decades. Everyone thought she was Hispanic, even other Hispanics. She played the role perfectly.
Now in current year, people on the internet say we're supposed to hate her because she was played by a fair-skinned Jewess.

I heard about the story Harlan wrote and that lawsuit was bullshit. It has similarities but it's not a blatant rip off. Cameron only agreed to it because he would have lost more money in a suit.
Harlan was being a cunt and wanted a quick buck.

Re: James Cameron slams Wonder Woman
Except that James Cameron actually said that it was a blatant rip-off. They're both cunts, but Ellison was in the right there.
Also, Cameron's very lucky that Philip K Dick died a couple years previous because otherwise he'd have been sued for ripping off Second Variety as well.

Re: James Cameron slams Wonder Woman
Terminator is alleged to have been ripped off from two Outer Limits episodes, "Demon With a Glass Hand" and "Soldier". I don't really remember "Soldier" very well, except that the main character was somewhat Reese like. "Demon" was about a guy that turned out to be an android at the end, trying to save humanity.
There were similarities certainly, but I think that these things were just inspirations and Cameron made something original, kind of how George Lucas did with sampling Kurosawa and Flash Gordon for Star Wars.
Ellison is known to be a cantankerous, unlikable, litigious asshole and an awful Jewish stereotype. You'll notice he disparages everyone he's ever collaborated with. I don't know why he's still alive except that they say the good die young.

Re: James Cameron slams Wonder Woman
When? From what I heard, he thought the lawsuit was bullshit but the production company did the payout and said if they persisted with a lawsuit Cameron would pay any of the losses.Keith Chegwin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2017 11:22 pmExcept that James Cameron actually said that it was a blatant rip-off.

When did he admit it was a blatant ripoff? If it was during the lawsuit and gag order then it doesn't mean shit.Writer Harlan Ellison stated that he "loved the movie, was just blown away by it",but believed that the screenplay was based on a short story and episode of The Outer Limits he had written, titled "Soldier", and threatened to sue for infringement.Orion settled in 1986 and gave Ellison an undisclosed amount of money and an acknowledgment credit in later prints of the film. Some accounts of the settlement state that "Demon with a Glass Hand", another Outer Limits episode written by Ellison, was also claimed to have been plagiarized by the film, but Ellison has explicitly stated that The Terminator "was a ripoff" of "Soldier" rather than "Demon with a Glass Hand".
Cameron was against Orion's decision and was told that if he did not agree with the settlement, he would have to pay any damages if Orion lost a suit by Ellison. Cameron replied that he "had no choice but to agree with the settlement. Of course there was a gag order as well, so I couldn't tell this story, but now I frankly don't care. It's the truth."

I've read that Cameron admitted he based it on those two Outer Limits episodes:
