09.30.08 MCG WAS TALKING OUT HIS ASS
Since people know McG mainly as the guy behind awful movies like Charlie’s Angels, he’s been quick to point out that he took the job of directing Terminator 4 only with the blessing of Terminator 1 and 2 director James Cameron. In an interview at Comic-Con (video after the jump), he said:
“The only thing I was concerned about is I didn’t wanna disrespect Jim Cameron. So I went down and I talked to him and I told him what my take on the material was, and he told me he was actually interested in the way I made films, which I was surprised to hear, and then, uh, you know, he told me a story about how he was making the second Alien picture and he was following the great Ridley Scott and people thought he was nuts and he had a vision and he went for it. And you can’t operate from a place of fear, and he kicked me in the ass and said, “Go do it.’”
Jim Cameron’s take on it appears to have been slightly different:
Q. Are you involved at all in the Christian Bale production of Terminator 4?
A: It could be a big steaming pile or it could be brilliant. Sam Worthington is in Avatar and the new Terminator and he likes the script, but I never saw it. There was no blessing involved.
Obviously, one of them is lying. Hmmm, director of the highest-grossing film of all time or the sleazy one-named dude who used to make Korn videos, I just don’t know who to trust… I think what gave him away was that part about Jim Cameron being interested in how he made films. “And I was like, I dunno dude, I just point the camera at chicks and make sure their hair looks really bangin, ya know?”
And this next clip is titled “The Best Scenes from Charlies Angels 2″

Should’ve been a clip of the credits.
MCG will always mean Melbourne Cricket Ground to me. Dick. If you were going to name yourself after a cricket ground surely you’d go for The Gabba.
I’ve been to the Gabba! **pats self on back**
Still waiting for that invite to Yo Gabba Gabba though.
Jealous. I’ll do Australia one winter.
<====Come on Vince, you’re always welcome!
To be fair, you gotta shoot the gun at something even if you’re falling to your death. I mean, you wasted all that bullet time picking it up, and everything.
Oh yeah, there was a Yo Gabba Gabba/Ting Tings - Half decent band, in case you’ve not heard of ‘em - radio mix doing the rounds a few months ago.

That “Best Scenes” video is about 5:33 too long.
Gabba Gabba, Hey!
That dude’s giant head is calling out for a Lobotomy.
Will there be a Rocket to Russia in the movie?
“And you can’t operate from a place of fear”
Tell that to Dr. Giggles.
Fuck is everybody talking about?
I am Uproxxx. This blog is falling apart, as planned. May I interest you in whatever the fuck ‘Big Kuntry’ is?
I am Uproxxx.
McG tells a story from his childhood about how he stayed up real late to talk to Santa Clause one Christmas. He remembers it as a magical time.
McG’s father remembers telling the little shit to go to bed.
The easiest way to tell if McG is lying, is to notice whether or not his freckles are blinking.
Uproxxx, just so we’re clear… who are you, again?
Santa Clause?
Is that the non-Spanish Semi Colon?
Does the McG come with any sort of sauce I should know about?

Jim Carrey is gonna be so pissed McG stole his schtick.
The hardest thing about being McG: having to remember your Flinstone vitamin every morning.
Tengo, McG calls him Santa Clause because he learned it that way from Tarantino.
McG likes his lettuce hot and his burgers cold.

McG has tried and loves Steven Seagal’s Asian Experience.
He thinks the energy drink is pretty good too.
Early on, McG honed his craft by shouting directions at the diver in his fish tank.
Howdy fuckers! A weekend with the country relatives really broadened my horizons!
