Be afraid, be very afraid as Skynet is now online and it’s the beginning of of the end for mankind as machines start taking over the world and their goal will be to terminate us all! OK, not really, well not yet anyway, but April 19, 2011 is a day that most of us Terminator fans know all to well. Even James Cameron remembered and tweeted on it. Take the jump to see what he said.
Well if this just don’t beat all, a 42-year-old man with a history of high blood pressure has died of a stroke while watching Avatar in 3D. Doctors believe that the stroke was likely triggered by over-excitement.
Sigourney Weaver hosted this weeks Saturday Night Live, which of course was full of references to Avatar. James Cameron even appeared on the show to pitch his latest movie idea to Lorne Michaels.
As we all know James Cameron revealed that an Avatar sequel will definitely happen and that he plans to base the films on the neighboring moons of Pandora and maybe even the planet that Pandora revolves around.
The Halcyon company bought the rights to the Terminator franchise for $25 million two years ago, they went on to make Terminator Salvation. Well as we all know that didn’t work out to well for them, so Halcyon in it’s glories wisdom is now auctioning off the rights and think the price should be more than double what they paid for it, they are basing this off the $60 million that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles went for.
James Cameron is sitting on top of the World, with the writer-director’s sci-fi hit Avatar reaching a global box office total of $1.02 billion over the weekend. Avatar has become the fifth film in history to reach the billion dollar mark, after Titanic ($1.8 billion), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12 billion) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest ($1.07 billion) and The Dark Knight ($1 billion).
Awhile back we reported that James Cameron had someone create an entirely new language for the ‘Avatar’ film. The new language was used in the movie by the Na’vi (the blue folks with the tails) on several occasions to say such things as “hey listen” and “you like baby.”

I’ve run across some real dicks during my time on this earth but I have to say James Cameron takes the cake. Ole James Cameron was walking out of the LAX airport and a fan approached him asking if he would sign an ‘Avatar’ poster for him. Cameron refused, and when the man asked again, the director replied: “I don’t owe you a f*cking signature. Just get out of my f*cking personal space.“
