People who go on TMZ have probably heard of this but for those who haven't checked it out here you go. 
 
  

   
So i don't know how to feel about this. I think that Cameron was being an asshole but at the start he shakes his head at the fan. Then the fan starts following him and bothering him but Cameron is being an asshole.  
 
Some people are saying that the fan is really an autograph hound who was going to sell the autographed stuff online. 
 
What do you guys think?

Can you really blame the guy? He just wants to be left alone.

Man, I haven't heard James Cameron's voice since E3, when he put everyone to sleep.

Although James Cameron is probably an a-hole (at this point I don't know that I put too much blame on him), he knows exactly what he's doing.  This will get more coverage.  The man is both eccentric and intelligent.

There is no correct party in this.  It'd have taken Cameron 2 seconds to scribble something on the poster (considerably less time than was spent arguing), but the fan was being a dickhead.

That professional autograph hunter seemed like a total prick, not Cameron who simply wished to be left alone with his wife. He wasn't at the airport promoting his film, something which I'm sure he's spent many weeks around the world doing and is most likely sick of.  
 
Some of the greatest stories ever told are also the most simple, the autograph prick should polish up on his literary studies in between hassling more people who simply wish to be left alone.

James Cameron wasn't being an asshole, it was pretty obvious that the guy didn't simply want an autograph.

Cameron had just got off a plane and was being harassed by a paparazzoposing as an autograph hound.  The lines he used to attack Cameron ("is this how you treat people who have payed to see your movie?",  "I  make 15 in an hour to see your film and I'm the asshole?" etc) were designed to incite a reaction and James handled the situation appropriately and responsibly. He even declined to have his security (or whoever the big black guy was) deal with the guy.   Basically this is staged by paparazzi to generate sales off the back of the popularity of the movie.  People should be smart enough to see this bullshit for what it really is.
 
BTW do you work for are you affiliated with TMZ or the press?  Some disclosure please.

If he's bothered by his $15 an hour salary maybe he should ask TMZ for a pay rise.

I probably would have done something similar. Imagine how many times they get bothered... Besides, the video doesn't start at the beginning of their conversation.

Papparrazi (papparazzi?) are clearly a waste of the world's oxygen.  Hilarious, but at the same time just using too much oxygen.

He's James Mother Fucking Cameron.  It's not in his nature to be your fucking dancing monkey and you should know that coming in.  I'm sure if a fan was to approach him totally and completely humble, they'd get a nice minute or so of personal able chit chat about the movie, which is worth more than some piece of paper.

I GOT YOUR BACK, JAMES CAMERON. 
 
Dude, James Cameron is a living legend. He's the king of action movies. It's unfortunate he had to deal with such a loser, but I guess that's just the price you pay for fame.

that was clearly a paparazzi prick.  
 
no REAL fan who just wanted an autograph would harass a famous director leaving an airport (an already high-stress environment to begin with) repeatedly and begin to shout and use insults.  its pathetic and the guys behavior DID justify his reasoning for ignoring him.  
 
paparrazi do this all the time. they constantly wait for celebrities at airports because everyone knows its an easy place to get celebrities riled up.  
 
if a real fan of Camerons thought waiting outside an airport to get autograph would be a good idea, I'm pretty sure they would understand if he declined. if james cameron was like, not now man im not in the mood basically, you'd be like its cool i understand.   
he doesn't OWE you anything. he gave you 2 1/2 hours of entertainment for you're $15. if you want an autograph you should go to the proper place and time for one. not a fucking airport.  
like i said, its clearly paparrazi and they know exactly what they are doing, starting with being at the airport in the first place.

Guy with the camera shoulda been punched. Fuck that piece of shit. He's no fan, he's an IRL troll. If you ever get the chance to deck a troll, do it.

I miss the days before the internet, when you could beat the fuck out of some jerkoff who was harassing you and it didn't end up on TMZ.
