I don't know, sounds tiring to have people everywhere constantly talking about how you're an insufferable rear end in a top hat just for doing your job.

edit: Like, people calling you an insufferable rear end in a top hat so much all the time that it even drowns out the credible accusations of pedophilia.

Yeah, a millennial with no formal skills, a housewife, three kids, a big house and not even crippling depression. That sounds realistic.

Bullshit. James Cameron isn't that clever.

He's a terrible actor. The only thing he was good in was Requiem. And that's only because he played an rear end in a top hat user/abuser. So it wasn't acting.

Everyone knew Cameron had written a treatment for Alien 2 that nobody would touch because Alien was not a massive financial success. Alien 2 was not on the table. We expected a professional pitch from Cameron, an outline and a treatment of what he had in mind with a cursory budget; perhaps a couple assistants to run a slide show. Instead Cameron walked in the room without so much as a piece of paper. He went to the chalk board in the room and simply wrote the word ALIEN. Then he added an 'S' to make ALIENS. Dramatically, he drew two vertical lines through the 'S', ALIEN$. He turned around and grinned. We green-lit the project that day for $18 million.

Shortly before, I looked it up recently. Still doesn't take a rocket scientist to dress up their villain like the LAPD.

quote:

Outside of the bar some people were watching and enjoying the sight of the leather clad Terminator getting on a motorcycle and riding away. Amongst the onlookers was a man called George Holliday. He was a 28-year-old plumber who had been given a 8mm Sony Handycam as a gift. Now two things occurred but the facts are not all that clear which of the two was more important. A few weeks prior to March 3 Holliday was in his truck and saw a motorcycle being chased by a big rig down the LA aqueduct. This, to fans of the film, is obviously when... well a motorcycle was chased down by a big rig in the LA aqueduct. The second event was when on March 2 Holliday knew that in the bar up the road from his house they were filming a movie. Living in Los Angeles everyone knows movies are filmed but the chance to go see it is something no one can pass up.

So, Holliday had his camera out and filmed a little. It was not to sell the footage or for any reason beyond simply that Holliday “wanted to show [his] friends the movie being filmed.” Holliday went home to his apartment and set his camera down on his dresser having had a fun little evening. Around 1am Holliday awoke “to the sounds of a helicopter over [his] apartment.” Looking out of his balcony window Holliday had perhaps the best possible view to see Rodney King’s arrest. Using the same camcorder which had minutes of the Terminator production on its tape Holliday started filming.

I take back what I said. James Cameron is exactly the kind of dumbass that would write an anticop movie and then hire on the LAPD and the IDF to make the action scenes more exciting.

The greatest flex in the history of the world was him telling the cast and crew of [I want to say Aliens] "go gently caress yourselves, I hated every minute of working with you, you're all scum, eat poo poo, I'm gonna go to Hollywood and become a multi- billionaire and you're going to sit here in dreary rear end London and live miserable lives".

And then he did it.

I mean, he's still the biggest rear end in a top hat in the world, but god drat he delivered on his promise in spades.

Like imagine some little prick in high school saying "one day I'll be president and you'll all be sorry" and then he loving does it. rear end in a top hat or not, he just loving owned you into oblivion.

Just imagine being the British lighting guy who's like "this Cameron guy doesn't know what he's doing" and then Titanic and Avatar come out after his little speech.
