James Cameron Is Just As Crazy As You Thought (And Not In a Cool Way)

Via The New Yorker:Vulture:

• James Cameron signs all correspondence “Jim out.”
• James Cameron has a piece of shrapnel in his arm from Terminator 2 that never came out.
• On the set of Titanic, a disgruntled worker spiked the crew’s chowder dinner with PCP. James Cameron “had the presence of mind to stick his finger down his throat, and was one of the few who didn’t spend the night in the emergency room.”
• There is a strict no-tan policy on the set of James Cameron movies. “What’s with the tan?” James Cameron asks an Avatar crew member. “We see the sun as we drive to work, and not again till the next morning.”
• Even forest fires are afraid of James Cameron, who has a fire truck in his driveway: “Everybody else just runs for the hills,” he says, mocking his Malibu neighbors. “‘Oh, my God!’ We sit and wait. Put on our yellow coats and our breathing gear and wait. And, you know what? It’s impressive. When these hills light up with a hundred-foot-tall wall of flames coming over the top of the hill there, you feel like it’s Armageddon.”
• Something James Cameron actually shouted to Arnold Schwarzenegger on the set of True Lies: “Do you want Paul Verhoeven to finish this motherfucker?” (Okay, that’s pretty awesome.)

We have to stop thinking famous people acting crazy is okay.
