Hey, Nerds, Leave James Cameron’s Remasters Alone

James Cameron and Alex Trebek must be two apples from the same tree. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron clearly does not care about what dorks are saying about the quality of the remasters for Aliens and True Lies. When asked about the losers nerds who thought the image quality should’ve been a lot better, Cameron reminds them that touching grass would probably give better quality to just about anything. “When people start reviewing your grain structure, they need to move out of mom’s basement and meet somebody. Right? I’m serious. I mean, are you fucking kidding me?” replied Cameron before giving praise to his crew. “I’ve got a great team that does the transfers. I do all the color and density work. I look at every shot, every frame, and then the final transfer is done by a guy who has been with me [for years]. All the Avatar films are done that way. Everything is done that way. Get a life, people, seriously.” For anyone who’s still worried about the color grading for Avatar: Fire and Ash or just recovering from that burn, Cameron at least offers some comfort, even if he can’t go into specifics: “It’s really fucking cool. You’re going to love it.”
