"Avatar" director James Cameron lashed out at Glenn Beck at a press conference Tuesday, offering to debate the Fox News personality on environmental and political issues.

Asked what he thought about Beck during a junket appearance in support of the "Avatar" home-video release, Cameron said: "Glenn Beck is a fucking asshole. 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."

Cameron was apparently referring to Beck's reaction to his 2007 documentary, "The Lost Tomb of Jesus," which casts doubt on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and makes the case that the ancient "Tomb of the Ten Ossuaries" belonged to Jesus' family.

After blasting Beck, Cameron, surrounded by journalists inside a West Hollywood hillside mansion, seemed to reconsider: "I think, you know what, he may or may not be an asshole, but he certainly is dangerous, and I'd love to have a dialogue with him."

he is an asshole. A big one.

On a side note, if that was meant as a sly marketing ploy it worked. I'm definitely buying Avatar as soon as it gets out.

Titanic in his assholiness.

Now I suppose Bleck will elevate him to King of the anti-Christs.

News Corp. distributed Avatar.

What a wrinkle.

:popcorn:

Haven't heard much about that connection from Cameron now, have we?

Spent this interview dissing CNN instead..

It's an family spat.

:popcorn:

These guys have called lots of Dems and such that name. :shrug:

makes me want to watch Avatar...almost.

Good for him calling out an asshole in public!

Why continue to make that pile of puke relevant?

praise for Cameron and the technical mastery was ok, but also felt the film's best moment was completely non-technical -- when the artist is painting a beautiful woman. Cameron could make more films with scenes as inspired as that and I'd go see more of his films.

The pro-environmental message in AVATAR, if a bit heavy-handed, was welcome. People who don't like "decadent" Hollywood movies and slam the studios who produce them forget that the films are successful because people in Jacksonville and Dayton and Omaha are standing in long lines to see them.

Beck is repulsive, no matter whether Cameron says it outloud or someone else. I haven't seen THE LOST TOMB OF JESUS but might give it a spin.

and YOU contributed to FOX NEWS if you paid money to see Avatar.

"B-B-b-but it had a p-p-progressive m-m-m-message!" you stutter.
