11.17.09 JAMES CAMERON: ‘TITANIC WAS ABOUT F-YOU MONEY’
My copy of this month’s Playboy hasn’t arrived yet, probably because my mailman is Puerto Rican and everyone knows those people steal. Or I don’t know, maybe he’s just taking a nap. What am I, his parole officer? Anyway, there’s an interview with James Cameron in it, and it sounds like he’s his usual, curmudgeonly self.
“I made Titanic because I wanted to dive to a shipwreck, not because I particularly wanted to make the movie…Titanic was about ‘f*ck you’ money,” he said. And on Kate Winslet almost dying while filming: “We simply let Kate think she was nearly drowning. A little sputtering and coughing does not count in my book, because I have almost drowned several times…Anybody who signs on [with me] is going to be tested.”
On his 25th high school reunion: “If you ever go to a 25th high school reunion, make sure that in the previous two months you’ve made the world’s highest-grossing movie, won 11 Academy Awards and become physically bigger than most of those guys who used to beat you up. I walked up to them one by one and said, ‘You know, I could take your ass right now, and I’m tempted, but I won’t.’ Actually, they were all nice guys except for one who was still big and mean. I left him alone.” [Cinematical]
Cameron later went on to clarify that The Abyss was more about ‘love me, daddy’ money, while True Lies was ‘you think you’re better’n me’ money, and if all goes well, Avatar will make piles of ‘is it in yet’ money.

Is “fuck you” money what you buy hookers with?
If not, this article confused me.
Does this mean “Aliens Of The Deep” was about “This is our little secret” Money?
You know, I could take your ass right now, and I’m tempted, but I won’t
Tom Cruise has said the same thing to lots of guys right before running home, crying, and trying to beat the gayness out of himself.
You know, I could take your ass right now, and I’m tempted, but I won’t.
I hear this from my dates all the time. I think the warts are off-putting.
Hmmm…guess He cannot attend His high school reunion…no guys that used to beat Him up. }}:>(
The Mighty One supposes He could settle for “that dumb bitch that gave Him a C+ in a fucking worthless lit class, walk up to her, and chainsaw her fucking nipples off”, but He doesn’t feel like dragging a frozen body to the reunion.
Seriously though, I would rather try and fail again at trying to suck myself off than go to a high school reunion.
Cameron is just misunderstood I’m sure. That bitterness and anger masks a cuddly teddybear.
After Terminator 2, Cameron also let Edward Furlong ‘think’ he was now fucked for life. It’s just that Furlong believed it so much, that it became real. That’s Furlong’s fault, not Mr. Cameron’s.
“Hey, y’know what money can buy? A solid gold gun. That shoots diamond bullets. I call it “The Compensator”. Whatta ya think?”
High School Musical was all about the pedophiles’ money
Everyone that showed up to my reunion physically bigger, just made me feel better about myself.
Cameron directing Aquaman wasn’t about Vince or even Entourage. It was more about ‘f-you dignity’.
At my 25th high school reunion I hope to have a diploma.
At my 5th high school reunion, I got to brag to everybody that even though everyone had slept with my wife in high school, I got to marry her. Also, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to get her in bed anymore.
Good thing I want at you reunion, eh Nommy?
what was that?
I don’t have to worry about attending my High School reunion.
I dropped out of home school.
I tried attending my high school reunion drunk and high, and after pissing everyone off, trying to steal a laptop, getting in a fight with someone’s husband, and finally exposing myself while cheering; was subsequently escorted from the premises. When I tried to get back in I was told the police had been called.
So much for all that crap on the invite about reliving our schooldays.
SHOW ME THE FUCK YOU MONEY!!!!!
I heard he killed the guy who said, “I still think Almost Famous was pretty gay.”
