✒Monkey fought the jetlag in United Arab Emirates to listen to a carefully choreographed "in conversation with" between James Murdoch and Avatar director James Cameron last Tuesday at the Abu Dhabi Media Summit. It would be wrong, if not unfair, to say that Murdoch hasn't met a Cameron he didn't like, but certainly the two got on very well. Amazingly, the two agreed on the magnificence of 3D, with James Cameron obligingly saying "Sports is what's going to drive 3D into the home" and Murdoch arguing that "customers will not want big events that are not in 3D at some point in time in the future". What on earth, then, could be the point of such backslapping? Could it be to demonstrate that it isn't just sister Elisabeth who can get on with these creative types, one of the most frequent criticisms of the more cerebral James? Or would that be too cynical?...
