JIM CAMERON ON 60 MIN: STUDIO WANTED OJ FOR TERMINATOR

11.23.09 Written by Vince Mancini

I don’t usually watch 60 Minutes because I don’t have grey pubes, but yesterday they did a profile on JC, aka Jesus Cameron, director of Avatar and creator of the universe amen.  It’s mostly the same stuff you’ve already heard in his Playboy interview, his New Yorker profile, his letter to Penthouse forum, etc., but there was one tidbit that was new to me:

“The head of Orion, who were gonna release Terminator, called me up and said, ‘Are you sitting down?  I have cast this movie.  I was at a party, and it’s OJ Simpson for the Terminator.’

And I said ‘This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.’

And I didn’t know OJ Simpson, I had nothing against him personally, and I didn’t know he was gonna go murder his wife and become the real Terminator…”

The segment does a pretty good job of capturing Cameron in a nutshell: enough of a megalomaniacal Napoleon to wear a hat that says HMFIC (Head MotherF-cker In Charge) but refreshing in that he’s the rare Hollywood personality that seems very intelligent and has the balls to casually call OJ a murderer in an interview.  In related news, Brett Ratner has a hat that says “Big Cheese” because he loves nachos.

THE JESSICA SIMPSON NAKED MOVIE PROJECT

12.11.07 Written by Vince Mancini

According to WWTDD:

Jessica Simpson’s last two movies have been complete and utter failures by any reasonable definition [Ed. Note: Make that three to include the above clip. Check that, make it five or six], but she does want to continue acting, and that can only mean one thing.  Full frontal nudity.  Nice.

"A source said: "Jessica is in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting.  The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene. Jessica is so desperate to land the role and get the industry’s respect that she’s ready to go against her better judgment, and her family, by agreeing to bare all.""

What they forgot to mention was that the project is actually being directed by Jessica Simpson’s dad, Joe Simpson.  But if I had my way it’d be directed by O.J. Simpson.
