James Cameron |
James Cameron is a legendary director who's created hits likeĀ "The Terminator," "Aliens," "Avatar," and "Titanic," which have grossed billions. He's also known as a tyrannical director who almost drowned Ed Harris and traumatizedĀ Mary Elizabeth MastrantonioĀ while filming "The Abyss".
Here are some of the most egotistical and clueless things James Cameron has said over the years.
1. āWait a minute, Iām going to call up William Shakespeare and ask why Romeo and Juliet had to die!ā
2. "[Wonder Woman's] an objectified icon...itās a step backward."Ā
This is the biggest one and everyone on the planet condemned it. From star Gal Gadot to director Patty Smith and everyone in between.Ā But she won the Internet with her response saying āJames Cameronās inability to understand what Wonder Woman is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great film-maker, he is not a woman.ā
3. "At this point, Iām less interested in making money for the movie and more interested in saving the world that my children are going to inhabit."
4. "I don't look at scripts. I just write them."
James Cameron has been a screenwriter for years and considers himself a master. So he doesn't feel a need to direct anyone else's script. The irony is that he's been sued for plagiarism over a dozen times. That includes the six for "Avatar" alone.
5. "I haven't paid for lunch in two weeks."
6. "As much as I love '[Star Wars]'...it went off the rails"
Cameron has had some success in science-fiction and is promoting a new film "Alita: Battle Angel" (2018). A per usual he decided to attack a competiting science-fiction franchise."As much as I love Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) and as much as it's really revolutionized the imaging business, it went off the rails in the sense that science fiction, historically, was a science fiction of ideas," he said. "It was thematic fiction. It stopped being that and became just pure eye candy and pure entertainment. And I miss that. With Alita: Battle Angel (2018). I'm going to flirt with that darker, dystopian message as much as I can, without making it an art film."
7. "Real women are complicated."
People, in general, are complicated, but singling out a gender is just misogynistic. James Cameron's former wife, Linda Hamilton, described her marriage to the director as "terrible on every level".
One can only imagine why.
8. "She's got to have t*ts"
It's hard to believe he's on his fifth marriage.
9. "I'm the king of the worldā¦whooooo!"
10. "I don't owe you a f*cking signature."
When a fan at LAX asked James Cameron to sign his "Avatar" poster he ignored him. When the fan asked again he snapped "I don't owe you a f*cking signature. Just get out of my f*cking personal space."The guy yelled "I'm an a**hole because I ask someone I admire for their autograph that makes me an a**hole? I make $15-an-hour at work to go see your film and I'm an a**hole?"
Cameron just walked away.
11. "I'm hoping we're going to start getting Avenger fatigue"
After hearing the quote Feige had a surprising reaction. āUh, he loves the movies!ā Feige said, a knowing grin spreading on his face. He stood up, pumping his arm. āThatās awesome! Wow, James Cameron loves our movies! Thatās exciting!ā
Incidentally, Merriam-Webster defines hypogonadal as "marked by or exhibiting deficient development of secondary sex characteristics". Not sure what he means there.
