I went to see James Cameron’s Avatar<\/em> this past weekend and couldn’t help but appreciate the irony.<\/strong> One of the previews before the flick was Shutter Island<\/em>, a Martin Scorsese thriller starring none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. I thought of how that young actor’s career has fared since screaming from the bow of Cameron’s Titanic<\/em> just over a decade ago. Titanic<\/em>, at the time, held the record for being the most expensive film ever made, now Leo’s preceding the latest ‘most expensive film ever made’. I haven’t followed Leo’s arc of success that closely but it seems Cameron was responsible for jettisoning him into super-stardom. It’s unfortunate that Mr. Cameron’s latest offering won’t be launching the careers of any rising stars or starlets \u2013 unless, of course, you’re on the creative render staff at Weta Digital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
