...some critics thought “Avatar” was going to bomb—quite a lot of them, in fact. I even felt a little sorry for James Cameron, despite his tens of millions of dollars in personal wealth, and despite the fact that his previous films have become cultural icons, if not cinematic ones. Now that the industry’s pessimism has been mostly forgotten, I’d like to take a moment to imagine a different cultural landscape—one in which “Avatar” flopped, and the branch...

In the film, several eyewitnesses say they remembered seeing flames coming from the plane on the runway before it hit Continental's stray metal piece, suggesting that something was wrong with the Concorde itself. That is a key point in the defense strategy pursued by Continental's lawyers, who say they have 28 witnesses who can provide similar testimony. The lawyers told the Parisien newspaper last Friday that they intend...
