Fox has done it again. This time they are blaming the harsh snow storm on the east coast for the lower than expected turn-out at the box office for their new movie, Avatar, created by James Cameron. I don't blame them, look at this picture of the snow storm, as seen from space.

On another subject, it doesn't seem like they have anything to complain about. The sci-fi epic reportedly cost the studio 237 million dollars, not a surprise considering that the movie is the creation of James Cameron, who directed/produced/wrote the movie, even waiting 12 years to let technology catch up with his vision. Ironically it was Cameron himself who co-created the new stereoscopic 3D cameras used to film his latest film. Either way it managed to pull in more than the expected cost of the movie, which could have been less if Cameron wasn't such a perfectionist, just read this article that was published about a month ago, detailing how far he is apparently willing to go to get something right. Even if it isn't true, it is still kind of funny to read.
