From Big Hollywood:
Somehow it gets worse. Cameron appears to truly see himself as his “Avatar” character Jake Sully, The Condescending Liberal Great White Savior:
“It’s not like there is any pressure on me or anything,” he said, half-joking, moments before boarding the boat. “These people really are looking for me to do something about their situation. We have to try to stop this dam. Their whole way of life, their society as they know it, depends on it.” Source Article in NY Times: 
VOLTA GRANDE DO XINGU, Brazil — They came from the far reaches of the Amazon, traveling in small boats and canoes for up to three days to discuss their fate. James Cameron, the Hollywood titan, stood before them with orange warrior streaks painted on his face, comparing the threats on their lands to a snake eating its prey.
“The snake kills by squeezing very slowly,” Mr. Cameron said to more than 70 indigenous people, some holding spears and bows and arrows, under a tree here along the Xingu River. “This is how the civilized world slowly, slowly pushes into the forest and takes away the world that used to be,” he added. As if to underscore the point, seconds later a poisonous green snake fell out of a tree, just feet from where Mr. Cameron’s wife sat on a log. Screams rang out. Villagers scattered. The snake was killed. Then indigenous leaders set off on a dance of appreciation, ending at the boat that took Mr. Cameron away. All the while, Mr. Cameron danced haltingly, shaking a spear, a chief’s feathery yellow and white headdress atop his head. Opening of James Cameron's Letter to the President of Brazil April 8, 2010
Your Excellency, President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, I am writing to you as a concerned citizen of the Earth and on behalf of my children and future generations all over the world. I am not a political or business leader, I am a film maker whose last two movies have been the two highest grossing films in history. The most recent, "Avatar" has made US$ 2.7 billion so far at the box office, almost a billion more than my previous "Titanic." As you may know, "Avatar" is a film about the destruction of the natural world by expanding industrial interests, and the consequent impact to Indigenous populations. The film asks us all to examine our values, and to reconnect with each other and with the natural world. Its unprecedented success indicates the extent to which people, all over the world, are thinking about these issues as never before. In fact "Avatar" is the highest grossing film ever in Brazil, as well as many other countries. |

This is what happens when you leave the make believe world of movie-making and enter the world of reality convinced that the two are the same. I compare it to an alzheimers patient wandering out of a secure nursing home. Generally those events don't end well and neither will this.

I cant wait to hear about him coming across an unknown tribe in some backwater, of the amazon, who practice cannibalism.
Someone needs to photochop him in a big pot of boiling water with natives gathered round' licking their chops. |

I am beginning to hate the self-annointed elite in this country more than ever before. We are all merely peasants to be ground underneath their feet as dust. The image of a guilotine brings a smile to my lips when I think of the elite. But for a much different reason than petty jealousy. |

Can't wait to read about the unintended consequences when the dam is not built and hundreds of babies die because of the lack of electricity at some shit hole hospital that needed the dam to run.

He was sure a lot more fun in the old days. Developing the 3D technology:
"He figured they’d start with a simple test using an actor or two, but Cameron had other ideas. He asked Pace to install the gear in a rented World War II-era P-51 fighter and then sent him up in a B-17 Flying Fortress. Cameron jumped in behind the pilot of the P-51 and once airborne started filming while the pilot fired .50-caliber machine gun blanks at Pace’s B-17. “It was my first taste of what Jim considers ‘testing,’” Pace says."

Eh, that "rain forest tribe" has guys wearing flip flops, board shorts and jeans. Give us a higher res pic and I bet we can find an iPhone.
There happened to be cameras there in the wild to capture Cameron's benevolence. Funny how that always works out... |
