James Cameron didn’t mince words Tuesday when asked for his thoughts on a particular Fox News host: “Glenn Beck is a fucking asshole.” The Avatar director later amended that, saying, “He may or may not be an asshole, but he certainly is dangerous,” calling him a “madman” and his ideas “poisonous” before suggesting the two of them have a public debate. Beck, apparently, is no fan of Cameron’s either; the director said Beck once called him the "anti-Christ."
Cameron is equally unsympathetic to those who don’t accept global warming as fact, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads,” he said. “Anybody that is a global-warming denier at this point in time has got their head so deeply up their ass I'm not sure they could hear me.”
Glenn Beck appeared to take great pleasure in responding to James Cameron’s rant last night, even donning 3D glasses for the occasion. Beck acknowledged, “I did call James Cameron the Antichrist, but only because of the Celine Dion song. Horrific, really.” But that’s not entirely true, writes Steven Zeitchik in the Los Angeles Times—the "joke" was spurred by Cameron announcing a documentary alleging to disprove Jesus’ resurrection, so “he was attacking Cameron's research and beliefs.”
Beck went on to address Cameron’s issues with people who don’t accept global warming as fact: “He's upset with you because you're a global warming denier,” he said to the audience, referring to Cameron’s desire to “shoot it out with those boneheads.” But 79% of Americans “aren’t convinced greenhouse gases are the most important factor in the planet’s warming,” Beck said, bursting into fake sobs. “Why must you kill all of them? Why must you kill all of them?”
