Which director has helmed two blockbuster films whose titles can be defined as "the incarnation of a Hindu deity" and "having great magnitude, force, or power"? 'Ask the Audience,' '50:50' and 'Plus One' lifelines used
Dan was not a movie buff, so he asked the audience. Dan said when he thought of George Lucas, he thought Star Wars. He decided to use his 50:50. "Very interesting," Dan said. "This has taken quite the turn." Dan knew James Cameron did "Titanic". He hated to do it, but he called down his Plus One, his nephew J.T., who said he honestly did not know. J.T. thought that Tim Burton did "The Princess Bride" and James Cameron did "Avatar". Dan wondered if that would be the title of a Hindu deity.
