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.

This article CLEARLY manipulates the facts! The audio you can hear right here:
http://www.thrfeed.com/2010/03/audio-james-cameron-slams-glenn-beck.html
At 1:40 notice how Cameron says CLEARLY "you can have a mindless entertainment film that doesn’t OFFEND anybody. I wasn’t interested in that.”
THE ARTICLE HERE CLEARLY CHANGES HIS WORDS TO TAKE THE NASTINESS OUT OF IT BY QUOTING:
"you can have a mindless entertainment film that doesn’t AFFECT anybody. I wasn’t interested in that.”
THIS IS CALLED 'MANIPULATION OF THE FACTS'.
I think you may be correct
Brian it's ok worst things have happened to me and these comments some good minds I'll be back with more stuff on the third planet from the Sun.
You, and several other 'boneheads' on here show your ignorance. Either you have never watched a couple-a-Glenn Beck shows (in full) or you are not intelligent enough to fathom what Glennnn is saying (I don't know which it is). I challenge you close-minded Progresso-Liberals to open your bleeding hearts and give Glennn's show (not a sound-byte) a chance.
jtk
It is beyond comprehension how anyone can take Cameron at face value. Anyone who spews such hatred must be a right winger. Right? I challenge anyone to watch Glenn Beck for a week and then come back and comment. The only fear mongering that is going on is the panty waists that want everything handed to them. I voted for a hero not a hand out. Anyone who is good with socialism should take a hard look at the other countries where it has always failed. Our Constitution was carefully crafted so as to not make the same mistakes other countries make. But... then I don't want to confuse anyone with facts. That would be fear mongering.
Unless your trying to be creatively wierd, its spelled ellipses and I'm sorry, if you believe in the antichrist then you should believe in God. The Earth revolves arond the sun in an ellipse
The cartoon part of Avatar was great but OMG the story line; same old terrible white guys trying to take over the world. Glen Beck is crazy for sure but he's at-least on our side. Cameron use you cartoon imagination and come up with a new kind of bad guy.
That was a butifull Face.
Just keep on crying and maybe you will change to be abetter Person.
A Hollywood Director who knows it all? It is typical of leftists to label anyone who doesn't agree with them as a racist, bigot,or hatemonger. There may indeed be climate change going on, but for your info, climate change has always been going on. The question is whether it's "man made" climate change, and there has been no reputable source that has been able to confirm that. Just theory, and speculation.
I have listened to Glenn Beck off and on for a couple years. Yes he is provacative, and sometimes he says crazy stuff, but he is first off an entertainer. He is not hateful, he simply provides a constitutionalist view of his country.
James Cameron may be a smart guy, but like most Hollywood elites, he has no connection to the difficulties that most Americans face. He is on his own planet.
Wow. Umm, Don Hawkins: you're about to spin right off this planet, aren't you?
I used to watch Beck on HLN then on FOX. He cracks me the hell up. I mean THAT'S comedy! Keep it up crazy man. You too Avatar Boy. More fodder for Stewart and Colbert.
I'm thinking of praying (and mine get answered) for the hate-filled people here but there are so many and by many indications, even I'd be wasting my time.
No, Beck is a raving fool, and if you believe he is intelligent, you are an even bigger fool.
2.1 million years,
New evidence has emerged that underscores the global climate threat and the need for an effective climate bill. These are just the 10 most startling global warming facts we learned in 2009.
Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher today than at any time in measurable history.
A study published in the journal Science reports that the current level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere — about 390 parts per million — is higher today than at any time in measurable history — at least the last 2.1 million years. Previous peaks of CO2 were never more than 300 ppm over the past 800,000 years, and the concentration is rising by around 2 ppm each year.
2000-2009 was the hottest decade.
The World Meterological Organization reported that 2000-2009 was the hottest decade on record, with 8 of the hottest 10 years having occurred since 2000.
2009 will end up as one of the 5 hottest years.
2009 will end up as one of the 5 hottest years since 1850 and the U.K.’s Met Office predicts that, with a moderate El Niño, 2010 will likely break the record.
Arctic ice cover – already perilously thin – is vulnerable to further melting.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that while a bit more summer Arctic sea ice appeared in 2009 than the record breaking lows of the last two years, it was still well below normal levels. Given that the Arctic ice cover remains perilously thin, it is vulnerable to further melting, posing an ever-increasing threat to Arctic wildlife, including polar bears.
The Arctic summer could be ice-free by mid-century — sooner than scientists expected.
The Arctic summer could be ice-free by mid-century, not at the end of the century as previously expected, according to a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The East Antarctica ice sheet – thought to be colder and more stable that the West – is also shrinking.
Recent observations published in the highly respected Nature Geosciences indicate that the East Antarctica ice sheet has been shrinking. This surprised researchers, who expected that only the West Antarctic ice sheet would shrink in the near future because the East Antarctic ice sheet is colder and more stable.
Climate changes are already observed in the United States and are projected to grow.
The U.S. Global Change Research Program completed an assessment of what is known about climate change impacts in the U.S. and reported that, “Climate changes are already observed in the United States and
…are projected to grow.” These changes include “increases in heavy downpours, rising temperature and sea level, rapidly retreating glaciers, thawing permafrost
, lengthening ice-free seasons in the ocean and on lakes and rivers, earlier snowmelt, and alterations in river flows.”
Slight changes in the climate may trigger abrupt threats to ecosystems.
According to a report by the U.S. Geological Survey, slight changes in the climate may trigger abrupt threats to ecosystems that are not easily reversible or adaptable, such as insect outbreaks, wildfire, and forest dieback. “More vulnerable ecosystems, such as those that already face stressors other than climate change, will almost certainly reach their threshold for abrupt change sooner.” An example of such an abrupt threat is the outbreak of spruce bark beetles throughout the western U.S. caused by increased winter temperatures that allow more beetles to survive.

Let’s face it most of us are just savages oh yes most of us do the real work and are not afraid of work the real thing and would build new energy sources standing on our head just for the challenge but we can’t our handlers don’t want that and as we all know now it’s just better that way I mean with our own eye’s we just saw the great wisdom and knowledge with the health care bill and we thought all the great minds were gone oh no there still here with us.
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Hawking
The health care debate was it illusion of knowledge let's be kind sort of and next is the climate change bill the big one you know the end of the human race as we know it as a start and has the illusion already started oh yes. Can we change the thinking again that's being nice yes but it will take a lot of us the truth the knowledge there worst enemy.
Hey Don:
Please tell us you're not going to cut, paste and upload you're entire Global Warming folder from your documents files onto this hyper-intellectual discussion of Glen "Moonbat" Beck and James "King Of The Crazies" Cameron. I don't think the servers can handle it...
Do you so called "bloggers" and/or journalists know the meaning of the word "objectivity?"
Cameron is a movie maker who thinks he is an intellectual. He is just another Follywood bitch who has no morals, ethics sense of goodness. These Hollyweirdos produce these films for the following reasons: to make their twisted, demented, drug laced, sexually perverted, porn ridden lives seem normal. Their are no ethics in Follywood save a few exceptions which are neglible. Let us be candid. Hollyweird is run by Jewish men and women and has been for decades. Look at every film and see who the producers and executive producers are. Look at who the writers are! That then begs the question doesn't it? Was Hitler correct in Mein Kampf? He in fact was correct about 90% of the time. Killing anyone for their beliefs is wrong but his assessment of who they are (generally, not all) was absolutely on the money. Study the history and reasons for WWI and WWII and read Mein Kampf......then go ahead and respond back to me.
Another point in the same vein, is that for you White men and women out there....you are ISRAEL. You are the people that our Lord Jesus said he came to save. If you doubt it, read Matthew 10 & 15. He said he came but for the LOST SHEEP of the HOUSE of ISRAEL. He did not come for the Jews who sought to kill him. Israel was a man who had 12 sons/ 12 tribes. Only one of those tribes was called Judah.
Do you know where the LOST TRIBES went. They went north from Palestine and into Europe, Northern Europe, England, Scotland etc then to America. God said he would bless Israel even though we would not be the most populated people on the earth. Look at who has blessed the world more than anyone in history? White men and women that is who and we are about 12% of the world's poplulation.
We have done more for civilization than any race and people.
We are the:
greatest inventors
greatest scientists
greatest explorers
greatest mathematicians
greatest engineers
greatest physicians
greatest philanthropists
greatest architects
greatest writers
greatest music composers
greatest thinkers
greatest philosophers
greatest liberators (we have freed more people in history than anyone. We fought and died to end slavery while slavery still existed in Africa and elsewhere and still does today)
greatest spreaders of the gospel (really the only ones)
greatest artists
greatest builders of hospitals
greatest financial givers to those less fortunate.
AND.....We created the greatest form of government in the history of the world.
NOW look who is trying to destroy it....because of his evil, hateful racist and socialist ideas. Guess who helped him get into our White House.....the demented element of Hollyweird which includes Mr. Cameron and the rest of his ilk.
Damn. Anybody that argues against the liberals is bigots. Well, from an Asian American standpoint of view, the biggest bigots are the liberals that mouth off and have absolutely no facts to back up any of the SHIT (YES i said SHIT) that they so wonderfully spread.
I guess the Holy saint of global warming (AL Gore) could go on national TV and state that as a matter of fact that the core of the earth is a million degrees and not even have to answer to that scientific faux pas. Personally, people like him and every FUCKING ASSWIPE liberal just proves that this world has a tremendous shortage of villages to accommodate all the idiots.
The problem with all the Libs and Dems, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin scares the hell out of them. He really doesn't want to Debate Glenn beck because Glenn beck will Bury him and send him back to the Ice Age where he belongs.
OK. I'm out of here. The nutbag lunatic fringe devil worshipers have just come out of the woodwork. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
Hey, Mr. Cameron,
If you think you are really that bad and want to meet someone in the street.......OH PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE TIME & PLACE........trust me, he will seriously regret that day...He would never do it because he lives in a world of make believe and would have a bunch of his security team around.....freaking little mouthy coward.
Bravo to kray.He states the facts about the white race and undisputedly argues that the right wingers are trying to ruin the greatest government in the world and they are taking apart our constitution one piece at a time.
Will someone PLEASE take the scissors away from Kray? He's going to hurt himself. Off your meds again, Kray?
And I'm guessing it was Scott who took Kray's meds. You know better than to eat someone else's Lithium dose, don'tcha Scott??.
"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."
ROFL...true, so true. Like Beck or not, it's easy to hide behind an interview and not have to actually confront antagonism. I could refute any argument he claims to be science backing global warming whether I thought he was right or not. Politics can be messy with all of the emotions and opinions masquerading as fact and intelligible thought. Global warming is however, supposed to be a scientific "theory". Nobody ever gives thought to the global industry that has sprung forth out of a notion. Don't get me wrong we do sometimes treat this planet like a toilet, but science should always be impartial and open to "CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM". You just don't have that with global warming because people feel like they're doing the right thing. So recycle, conserve energy, develop renewable energy sources, thats all good. It stil doesn't make global warming...I'm sorry cooling...I'm sorry climate change real.
Fred good one and if you meet a person who still thinks the Earth is 8,000 years old or we walked with the dinosaurs and on and on into the twenty first century I always' liked this one.

Hey Fred.You seem to be the most close minded ahole on record.I,d like to explain all the ways people like cameron,Obama,Pelosi and all the other socialist reformers are wrong but I dont feel like typing for an hour and usually closed minded retards dont listen to any views but their own.
