James Cameron’s Airport A’hole Shouting Match

December 24th, 2009 by Scott Marks

Sign or Shine?

The entire cast had already inscribed the “Avatar” one sheet. All he needed was the king of the world’s signature to transform the poster into eBay gold.

Armed with little more than a Sharpie, a piece of movie memoribilia and a porkpie hat, the desperate fan waits with his mini-camera crew to snare the reclusive auteur outside LAX. James Cameron takes one look at the poster and does everything in his powers to refrain from tearing it to shreds.

All he has to do is take the marker and scrawl his name. What’s the big deal? Instead, he gives the guy a snubbing he’ll never forget. ” “I don’t owe you a f**king signature … just get out of my f**king personal space.” Later, in a stage whisper, Cameron refers to his airport escort as an “effing a**hole.”

The fan, who worked an hour of his life to afford the $15 to see “Avatar” in IMAX 3D, instantly turns on its master and becomes Cameron’s vocal assailant.

The biggest laugh comes when Cameron actually acknowledges the guy by saying, “Every time you open your mouth you absolutely justify my decision.” 

The battle is lost when the heated fan chides Cameron with “Even spielberg signs whatever you have.” (Do you think he’d sign my picture of Jonathan Norman?) Not guilty by reason of spielberg! He should have cold-cocked him for that insult.
