So what? Terminator, Aliens, T2, and Piranha 2 are all better than what 99.9% of directors have made.I haven't seen a good JC film since T2.

Cameron is an egomaniacal bastard.
Thanks for posting that, Batty.
As much as I love ALIENS I love the original even more. It would have been interesting to see what Giger would have brought to the Cameron film. Not that it was unsuccessful or nothin' without him.

Yeah, but interesting to see him display some humility... even if it was 23 years ago.
It's an interesting old bit of ALIENS lore, I linked to this way back when I did my HT ALIENS warrior review-

I have to admit, I've always read it as a brush off, it just looks good should they get to a legal wrangle. Bur Cameron certainly didn't want anyone making decisions in one of his movies other than himself. The funny thing is for all Camerons competence and passion, he still isn't an auteur for his generation, just a damn good visionary technician (sorry, make that very rich damn good visionary technician).
Nice letter, and it does boil down to Cameron being a control freak. You would think with all the respect he had for Giger that he would have been eager to collaborate with him. But no--Cameron's ego got the better of him. I too would have loved to seen Giger's version of the queen alien and his variations on the warrior aliens. Still, very well written letter showing a lot of respect for Giger.
Where the ____ is my apology letter for not Making T3
