Avatar by Cameron

[Xsubs]

I know these types of people, trust me. But the guy asking for an autograph did nothing wrong and he didn't provoke Cameron in any way. Cameron started the whole thing by saying, "I don't owe you a f**king signature ... just get out of my f**king personal space."

I'm sorry, but that's just rude and uncalled for, and it was good to see that the guy had the nerve to stand up to Cameron. Even if the fan was an autograph hound, that's not the right way to treat him. And truth be told, James Cameron has been known for his 'less than kind' personality, so I'm not really surprised.

Notice that the video has been cut. Who knows how long the fan pestered Cameron before he started cussing at him. The video was edited to make it look like Cameron got pissed off as soon as the guy asked for an autograph.

*sigh* - what the media would do to get more ratings...

Exactly. As I said before they purposely try to say things that anger these celebs. No telling what was said when the cameras were cut. Besides I don't think I would want people hounding me every day with cameras. He is a human just like us and needs his time and space just like us.

The fact that it was cut doesn't matter, because everything happened after the "cut". This video was shot by a different person who had nothing to do with the argument and TMZ cut his video just to get to the juicy stuff ( or at least that's what people say ).

But don't take this the wrong way. I'm not out to get Cameron, all I'm saying is he could've handled that situation a lot better.

That all may be true, that guy may have been hounding him..But it's also true that there ARE celebrities out there that actually treat their fans like crap or just flat out ignore them.. Cameron just may be one of those type of people. The guy wasn't even in the terminal, he was standing at the door waiting for him to come out, and Cameron walked right by him...And it wasn't like he was in a rush, because he had to wait for his car to get there...So what would be his excuse to NOT sign the poster?

TMZ = Paparazzi. They would do anything to annoy a celebrity so they can get all the juicy stuff. Cameron had the right to tell the person to F* off.

The random guy: "I earn $15 an hour at work to pay and see your film... and im an a$$h*le?"
Cameron: "You did that to yourself. I did not choose your career..."

The Guy is definitely a troll.

My sentiments exactly.

That was AFTER he was blown off and called an asshole, in case you forgot.

[HarryCanyon]

So he's upset about having Leo now in Titanic?

[Bot Girl]

So, we saw the movie today. pretty good. I liked the character development and the CGI was ok. We ended up seeing it in 3D which didn't seem to add anything to the experience. It would be good in Imax, but I'm gonna wait till the DVD comes out before I see it again.

[BIG Tee]

I agree BG. It would have been just as good without 3D. It is great in IMAX.

Cameron: "You did that to yourself. I did not choose your career..."

That's a douche thing to say no matter the situation. I took out loans hand over fist to pay for my education and I'm presently making $8 an hour. It's easy to fail and hard to win, and sometimes the only difference between the two is pure luck. Fuck Cameron and that shitty ass movie. The only way I'm seeing Avatar now is if I can watch it for free, and even then I would only be watching it to pick apart its cliches.


and BTW Titanic sucked too.

Awe... don't be a hater. But yeah, not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but for me it was
and I couldn't find one thing about it to not like (nope, not even JC). Fastest three hours ever.
Hell of a ride.

Who is it to blame?? No one. Cameron was just stating a fact. It wasnt Camerons fault that the guy was earning $15 an hour. Cameron has got nothing to do with that guy, and all of a sudden he makes a huge deal about not getting a signature??? God, there are people out there who starve everyday through poverty - That is something we should make a big deal about, not because you didnt get the opportunity to get a Freakin autograph. It annoys me that people make such a big deal out of all these little things. Its like they think their lives are so bad. *sigh* the things we take for granted.

Coincidentally the TMZ camera guy was right next to the peeved off guy. Set up much??

You're missing the entire point.. The $15 an hour comment came AFTER he was called an asshole....If you asked Cameron for an autograph (or any celebrity), and they blew you off as if you weren't there, you'd be upset just like that guy was... The fact that he may or may not have been working for TMZ is irrelevant.. I find it hard to believe it was a setup anyway, because there have been plenty of TMZ videos that show plenty of celebrities actually being polite to fans, signing autographs, and taking pictures..Just check their website.

only $8? is that even legal

[uraydo]

minimum wage here is 7.25. believe it or not, I'm making the most money I have ever made. God I hate this town.

It speaks for itself - http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/26/james-...e-good-day-la/

[Trailbreaker]

I have an idea. Let's review the movie instead of ranting about how much of a people person James Cameron isn't.

Why dont you leave?? No one is forcing you to stay. Unless you have family there?

Im just saying too many bits of the video was cut out. TMZ only decided to release the juicy bits. You dont see anything prior to the video. The guy was probably following Cameron around for hours. you wouldnt even know.

"Camerons flight could've been delayed because of weather conditions and then as soon as he got off his flight TMZ started following him around the airport, which in a season like Christmas, could pi$$ anyone off. As soon as he gets out of the airport, there is some fan walling around with an avatar poster. Who walks around the airport with an avatar poster? How did he get the information that Cameron was going to be there? How was TMZ conveniently placed to capture that whole event. I am sure it was a bunch of media junkies looking for a story and why not bash the infamous Director one of the most amazing movies this year. I just try and look at it from all angles, the guy even goes as far as to criticize Cameron's film that he loved so much, just to get a rise out of Cameron. If you ask me, the so called "fan" didn't hold himself together very well." - from a member of the momsword.org

All valid points... So we'll just agree to disagree... . I got one of those Avatar augmented reality cards from McDonald's..It's pretty damn nifty

[redqueenar]

I smell bullshit. TMZ is definitely involved!

The so-called "fan" proceeded to insult Cameron AND Avatar when he failed to get his way. "The plot is so simple a three-year-old could follow it. Make a real movie." If those aren't the words of a man who plans to sell the poster on eBay I don't know what are. As usual, James Cameron forced his way into the truth - this is a total setup, otherwise the man would have been arrested for detaining Cameron in a public place.

[nelson]

The bigger question is why isn't Cameron flying on a private jet?

:wtf

That said, the autograph seeker was the real asshole.

That's great, Nelson. His analysis of Cameron is excellent. All the reasons I like Cameron, really!
