- James Cameron is called the only answer, and agreed to.
- Dissent on Cameron: a host who says 'I like Terminator movies' grants only that culturally he obviously reached his apex here.
- Billy Zane is added and someone commits: 'I'll definitely go with Billy Zane'.
- Cameron has not gotten past Titanic personally and is still digging around in it rather than the Terminator world, making it his psychological apex; it is his apex in cultural significance if not filmmaking technique, and five Avatars will not outdo it.
- A fatal flaw of Avatar is that handsome Sam Worthington's face barely appears, whereas Leonardo DiCaprio's face means so much to Titanic; another host wants evidence that Worthington can act first.
