Say what you like about James Cameron but the man certainly says what he thinks. The Avatar director is currently doing press for the Blu-ray release of the enormously successful 3D yarn and in the process he has got in a nice dig at people who watch movies via their iPhone, saying that watching any movie in this format is “dumb”
James Cameron and Sam Worthington on the Avatar set.
“I don’t feel that I’m making movies for iPhones,” he explained. “If someone wants to watch it on an iPhone, I’m not going to stop them, especially if they’re paying for it, but I don’t recommend it.”
A TechRadar report continues, “I think it’s dumb, when you have characters that are so small in the frame that they’re not visible.” And it’s not only phones he has problems with, but laptops too.
“To me, there’s a limit that you wouldn’t want to go below,” Cameron noted. “I don’t know. I’ve never watched Avatar on a laptop. I guess it probably works, but I don’t recommend it. What I recommend is getting the coffee table out of the way and sticking your couch about four feet from your TV.”
Cameron and co are hoping that the non-3D release of Avatar will plug a hole until the 3D Blu-ray version hits the shelves this winter.
