James Cameron is riding high. Avatar: Fire and Ash has been yet another critical, audience and box office smash, making him the only director in history with four consecutive movies to have grossed over a billion dollars. A nice little cherry on top this week was two well-deserved Oscar nominations.
But, perhaps understandably for someone whose last three movies have been ecological parables that end with cruel American soldiers being chomped, smashed, impaled, drowned, and generally righteously obliterated, it turns out he’s not a particularly big fan of the current direction of the United States.
