You’re absolutely right — I got my inventive, genre-redefining blockbusters mixed up. Instead of Raiders I should have said Terminator 2, which Rocketeer did compete with. James Cameron remains a defining figure in that space.

I am stung by the correction because it’s nice to imagine oneself infallible, but I appreciate it nonetheless.
