Posted Jul 19th 2010 at 01:00 PM by Jo Piazza

You think you loved Avatar? Well there's no way your ardor could have matched the near-obsession of the few movie watchers who live the film every day of their lives.

Glenn Beck Rips James Cameron and His 'Smurf-Murdering Movie'

Posted Mar 25th 2010 at 03:06 PM by Zach Dionne

No one watches 'Titanic' expecting the ship to stay afloat, and no one insults Glenn Beck without anticipating a retort. "I did call James Cameron the Antichrist, and I contend that he may be, but only because of the Celine Dion song [in 'Titanic']. Horrific," Beck said on FOX News, his usual sardonic air intact.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Oscar Skit Yanked

Posted Mar 3rd 2010 at 07:24 AM by PopEater Staff

If there was anyone who could fall into the "too racy for the Oscars" category when it came to writing a skit, Sacha Baron Cohen sits at the top of the list. So it's no surprise that the man behind raunchy-yet-hysterical alter egos like 'Borat' and 'Bruno' had his skit vetoed from this weekend's Oscars telecast. Why? Because it apparently contained some jokes directed at 'Avatar' director James ...
