You better have a case of Red Bulls ready so you can stay awake

that's why I still haven't seen it...you and I usually are pretty close on our preferences (though you seem to watch more shit that I do...

)...so I may push it back down further on my mental list of movies to watch.

I think 2001 is the best scifi but BR is close.

Overall Ridley has made more solid films than Cameron.

Don't get me wrong, Stalker is worth watching; it's well-written and is visually beautiful, but it's very slow-paced. If you're like me, you'd need to be in the right mood to see it.

True. It's VERY slow-paced.

That's a huge understatement IMO.

Ridley Scott makes better pictures than James Cameron. He's got a better eye and the things he adds to the stories make his films richly textured. He's the better director.

Jim Cameron's style is much more simple and straight foward. He also writes his own material and challenges the technology of making movies. He's more of a pioneer of film.
