You can find the full interview here. Not very long but some interesting titbits on various projects including a new Terminator (he reveals nothing).

I have no complaints. Was just happy it FINALLY came out in 4K. Was on my wish list for years.

lol, honestly respect him for not bending over backwards or giving a “political” response.

Sometimes you just need to tell people to fuck off and suck it up, especially when you’ve got nerds looking for a reason to be angry.

God forbid someone exhibit humility and introspection. Nope, just commit to being right and never listen to anyone.

So what’s wrong with a little grain? off colors? I mean, the audio world is shifting back to vinyl because it is imperfect but unique in a way that you can only appreciate when you hear other versions and dislike them because they don’t “pop, skip, smoosh” the same way as you record does.

But the problem with Cameron is that he’s removing the grain almost completely, using AI to help do it and it’s making the films look worse.

To be fair he’s using it at different levels, Titanic and The Abyss look the best but Aliens and Truth Lies look the worse.

The replies to this post make me think most people haven’t seen the videos showing the hideous face distortions in the latter two.

I haven’t and am not having luck finding them. Got a link by chance?

The vinyl analogy can be used for these 4k remasters, but it’s more akin to using AI to clean up audio in a vinyl recording and adding a bunch of distortion in the process.

The Aliens transfer is possibly the best I have ever seen, of any movie. WTF is wrong with these people?

EDIT: Gang, I apologize. I know what’s wrong with them. I was just venting in the form of a question.

Modern social media gives a huge voice to the dipshits who just want to be mad at something. So they find some miniscule issue they can be made at and social media amplifies it as if it were a legitimate critique.

Most of these types of “complaints” can be safely ignored. Just as Cameron points out here, with no fucks given to their feelings.

5 minutes ago I knew nothing about this, and honestly I don’t have the “discerning eye” necessary to notice these issues even if they did exist.

That being said, I have been looking for something to get mad at…

He’s fine saying that, as long as AI wasn’t used to hallucinate details.
