James Cameron Challenges 'F*cking A**hole' Glenn Beck to Debate
The King of the World took on Fox News's sniveling Boy Prince yesterday during a press junket promoting the enviro-conscious DVD/Blu-ray release of Avatar. "Glenn Beck is a f*cking a**hole," James Cameron cheerily told gathered journalists. "I've met him. He called me the anti-Christ and not about Avatar. He hadn't even seen Avatar yet. I don't know if he has seen it." Jim, Jim, Jim -- don't ever change. The filmmaker wasn't done there, either.
Cameron, apparently still aggrieved by Beck's slight of his heretical 2007 documentary The Lost Tomb of Jesus, did backtrack a tad on the anatomical half of that epithet. But he made up for it by setting a stage for an ideological circus that would make a Tea Party look like a funeral:
"He's dangerous because his ideas are poisonous. [...] I couldn't believe when he was on CNN. I thought, what happened to CNN? Who is this guy? Who is this madman? And then of course he wound up on Fox News, which is where he belongs, I guess."
Asked by THR if he felt the right wing's attacks against him were continuing, Cameron replied: "They're not attacks. They're just people ranting away, lost in their little bubbles of reality, steeped in their own hatred, their own fear and hatred. That's where it all comes from. Let's just call it out. Let's have a public discussion. That's what movies are supposed to do, you know, you can have a mindless entertainment film that doesn't affect anybody. I wasn't interested in that."
The Avatar director was equally unsparing in his comments about those who don't accept global warming as fact. "That's right," Cameron said. "I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads."
Turning more serious, he added: "Anybody that is a global-warming denier at this point in time has got their head so deeply up their ass I'm not sure they could hear me."
Beck has yet to respond as far as I can tell, but heaven knows he will, and furthermore, what a synergistic grand slam for Fox! The only thing that would keep Beck from accepting Cameron on his show would be the moral aversion to selling more of the guy's DVD's, which is precisely why Rupert Murdoch might personally escort the filmmaker into the studio and sit him down in front of the host at gunpoint. Canny, gentlemen -- very canny.
Anyway, this will happen. No doubt the only thing left to decide is whether to simulcast it in nationwide in IMAX 3D. Don't tell me you wouldn't buy a ticket; it'd be even better than Avatar.

The language of Cameron gives us an insight to his low intelect and arogant attitude. Beck should not converse with him. A conversation with Cameron only elevates him to a place where he does not belong. Beck should ignore the foul-talking windbag and take the high road.
Glen Beck take the high road? HAHAHAHAHA! Good one!
Really? You are going to go with the language bit? Saying it is some how telling when a person uses their REAL feelings expressed through language. You know REAL anger and not faux marketing rage that Beck uses to keep you all zombified and scared.
Get real. I think beck is a fucking asshole, and a terrorist of the american people. You idiots and your proclaimed love for this country all crumbles to nothing under the white hot truth of your actions and statements. Keep on it with your tea-bagging bigotry, im sure you will get the attention from the KKK that you seek.
Let's think about the debate for a second.
Beck literally argues with people for a living, it seems to be what he lives for.
Cameron makes his living telling people what to do, and screaming, abusing, or firing them if they don't do what he tells them to do exactly as he told them to do it.
Beck is used to people disagreeing with him and calling him all sorts of names. In fact, he seems to enjoy it.
Cameron is used to people agreeing with him about everything and telling how great he is, for fear of being fired.
Beck is an experienced public speaker and if not a true debater, a skilled arguer, who knows how to use over the top theatrics on the fly to make his points.
Cameron is not an experienced debater or speaker, and is used to just telling people what he thinks, having them obediently nod in agreement, and needs 15 years and an army of technicians to make a point.
I think that no matter what you think of Glenn Beck, he could seriously embarrass Cameron.
Mortal Kombat!
People like Cameron always revert to profanity and insults because their ideas can not garner any support among thinking people who love freedom. Right out of the left-wing playbook......demonize them whenever possible. He can not justify his ridiculous assertion that Beck's ideas are poisonous. In Cameron's world of fantasy and illusion, socialism and statism is a good thing and people who defend individual liberty and private property rights are evil.
Secular socialists always seem to have a chip on their shoulder...... their utopian societies and demagogues/messiahs are always exposed as the frauds they are.
James thinks because he gets away with being a total douche bag on his film sets and because gaffers cower in his presence, he really is "king of the world". LOL.
Yes, Beck should instead spend his time conversing with mental heavyweights who cannot spell the words "intellect" or "arrogant" correctly.
Elipses are the work of the anti-christ. Also: you're retarded.
When will this be on pay-per-view? I'm in, especially if they're actually shooting it out (either cameras or guns).
This would be epically retarded. Beck is a delusional nutcase and Cameron is an idiot. Is he actually still pretending Avatar was the thinking man's action movie? It's environmentalist 'message' was laughable, cynical, asinine propaganda. It's depiction of indigenous cultures was pandering and racist.
I can't decide whether I really want this to happen because of how hilarious it would be, or really don't because of the fact that it would make me want to kill myself from despair that both of these guys are capable of wielding influence.
Damn how come I didn’t think of that, “got their head so deeply up their ass I’m not sure they could hear me.” Simple and to the point brilliant. Let's get started we are out of time.
We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It’s been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known. Carl Sagan
Take a look that’s us.

Now if I understand Cameron correctly on this, if I go and see "Aavatar" I will then be able to refer to him as The Anti-Christ and it would be accurate?
How about just the last few day's here in the States do the people in the rest of the World see us in this vast cosmic arena. The Congress a bit different the last few day's as baby killer echo's through the hall's and outside the hall's the tea party people have just been pushed to hard and the few people doing the pushing would you like some names at maybe a dinner party or cocktail party in front of a fireplace saying are they still under control ok damage control a night rally with candles and sing rock of ages and here is a good one we are doing this for our kid's our grand kid's our great grand kid's write that down sent that to Fox make sure Beck gets a copy we must stop this bad is good sort of warm up those busses the signs keep it simple. What's next for the few on how things work. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds to become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Yes boring this will not be pitting one side against another Ha Ha Ha and that laughter is off in the distance far far away and the so called masters of this dot are getting there talking points ready for the coming day's, month's and what talking point's they will be if you enjoy pure unadulterated illusion, foolishness and stupidity on a grand scale.
bravo.
another bravo!
Is the "pale blue dot" reference a shout out to Avatar, thus tying in Cameron? Otherwise, why the fuck did you post this?
Clearly, this guy just wants to get a commenter of the week award. Let's hope he's denied.

Take a look at this new from NOAA. At the top of the web page you will see sea ice heat and impacts check those out. This winter a bit different don't you think. Let's see how this spring goes and summer. There is still time not much and if we are going to try the time is NOW.

For those of you who like to dig a little deeper it's all there take your time James Hansen. Glenn Beck, Fox New's the darkside in general don't want you to read that trust me on this one.
The language of Glenn Beck is very much like that of the bible freak preacher currently on cable promising redemption if you just send in your $1000 for his "Green Prayer Oil." Beck has a similar scam going--a snake oil salesmen marketing stupidity and fear for profit. Cameron's language is simply descriptive and to the point. As for myself, I refer to Mr. Beck as that "horse's ass"--but then, I'm a lady! (Oh, yeah. Remember to buy that gold. Make sure you're ready when the end times come.) THANK YOU MR. CAMERON!
You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're kidding....
Don Hawkins, please have a vasectomy before you spread your pitiful genes to another unfortunate generation. People like you make a great case for eugenics. Right wing idiots have been holding the human race back since the very old days when they said "fire bad" and "wheel bad", it's time to stop arguing and simply rid the species of their genes. How is it possible to debate an issue like climate change with people who make up their own facts when they don't like established facts?
As far Cameron vs Beck, Cameron is more intelligent, but Beck is more experienced, so it would be very entertaining and probably could make some money at the IMAX.
Shit, sorry Don Hawkins, I meant to address my post to Don Betts. Sorry about getting your names mixed up.
