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.

Scorsese to receive Golden Globes DeMille Award

November 13th, 2009 by Scott Marks

The Golden Globes (aka The Poor Man’s Academy Awards) is honoring Marty this year by bestowing upon Him their annual Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award (aka The Poor Man’s Irving Thalberg Award).

Vera Farmiga, who worked for Marty on “The Departed,” made the announcement yesterday. “He has the power to rouse a crowd and bring them along on His holy mission,” Farmiga said. “He considers it holy work, and cinema is His shrine. And He instills in the actors, in the crew, and everybody around Him just what a powerful tool it is.”

Marty and C.B. share one thing in common: The Academy awarded them Best Director’s awards for their worst movies. DeMille won for his endless parade of circus acts in “The Greatest Show on Earth” while Marty took home Oscar gold for his gangland rehash “The Departed.”

Marty has previously won two Golden Globes for directing “Gangs of New York” and “The Departed.” To make matters worse, the previous winner is generally the one to hand out the DeMille award. spielberg won last year.

This will be the first time that the Golden Globes will be broadcast live as opposed to tape delay. Let’s hope that Marty loses His mind and calls in gag writer Mardik Martin to pen His speech.

Marty turns 67 next week. God willing His newest film “Shutter Island,” which was supposed to open on October 2 until those scovisas at Paramount got cold feet, comes out on February 19.
