James Cameron Gives Fans The Middle Finger After ‘Avatar’ Screening
Daily Caller ^ | December 19, 2022 10:09 AM ET | Leena Nasir Entertainment Reporter

Director James Cameron disappointed fans Saturday by ignoring their requests for autographs as he exited the WGA building in Beverly Hills, then flipping them the bird.

Video footage shows fans swarming around the famous director in hopes of catching a personal response from him, or getting an autograph, but things didn’t quite turn out the way they expected. The excited buzz from the crowd quickly turned into boos and chants of “fuck Avatar!” when Cameron blew past his fans without stopping to greet or acknowledge them in any way, according to TMZ. He aggravated the situation by sticking his middle finger out of the car window as he was being whisked away.

Cameron’s film, “Avatar: Way of Water,” was released Dec. 16 but didn’t generate the box office numbers many expected, according to TMZ. Rather than showing love to his fans, Cameron decided to ignore all the cell phones that were being held up as they recorded the moment.

He walked through the crowd like a man on a mission to disappear and jumped into his awaiting SUV as quickly as he could. Cameron didn’t even throw a glance at the crowd that had gathered.

Someone from the group called Cameron an “asshole.” Cameron was swiftly driven away from the crowd.

Agreed. I think I was able to get through the first 1/2 hour on the previous one. No plans for this 9ne.

What does Cameron care? He already got the fools’ money.

Giving his fans the middle finger? I’d expect a tweet coming soon saying “sorry if that was misinterpreted, I was pointing that finger to the paparazzi’s who killed Princess Diana” or something like that.

This is a classic excuse to post this!

Personally, I watched the first one because I was into 3D movies with a television that could handle it, but even the coolness of 3D wasn't enough to overcome the Leftist stench of the movie.

This one? Gee. Not a prayer of me ever laying eyes on it. Ever.

I liked the effects in the first movie, particularly the nighttime luminescent plants and creatures. But the story didn’t to much for me.

” I think I was able to get through the first 1/2 hour on the previous one.”

I think you surpassed my viewing time by approximately 15 minutes. Tiresome, pretentious CGI garbage.

Sounds like Mr. Cameron should give Dale Carnegie’s best-seller a read.

Let’s see. Fauci and other Statists are screaming ... again .. about Covid, flu and masking ... then Hollywood is surprised when sheep don’t turn out in large numbers for boring films.

The original Indiana Jones and Star Wars were noteworthy, but Star Wars has become Star Bores and Indiana Jones now need Depends and a walker.

Life in the Ivory Tower has a way of isolating one from real Life.

Cameron’s an out-of-touch loon.
