You blew it.

James Cameron was gearing up to make his next movie about Hiroshima.  In fact he was pretty pumped about this, mainly because his history buff buddy Charles Pellegrino wrote the non-fiction book it was going to be based on.  Pellegrino and Cameron go way back, as Pellegrino was a Titanic nut himself and the two wrote a book together shortly after the film was released.  Hell, the guy was even a PAID SCIENTIFIC ADVISOR on the production of Avatar.

Why is any of this news?

Well it seems that Pellegrino’s The Last Train From Hiroshima was just recalled mid-print because two of it’s characters might have been completely made up.

Oh, and he says he has a doctorate but the school he got it from has never heard of him.

Maybe the guy is just a gullible doofus.  Maybe he’s a bit too eager to get that great non-fiction story to work just right.  Maybe he’s an awful lying son of a bitch.  I don’t really care what this makes Pellegrino.  I care what this makes Cameron.

A man that’s friends with a fraud?  A man whose historical-minded buddy is full of shit—shit that Cameron couldn’t get enough of?  A gullible doofus?  I mean, after all, he paid this guy for his professional opinion.

Well, THE GOOD NEWS IS that James Cameron might have just got a nice little stomach punch to his pride.

THE BAD NEWS is that he’ll probably just end up making Avatar 2 right away.

But even so, I think it’s still worth it to make the guy squirm.

(What the fuck, I love this guy’s movies.  WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME THINK THIS WAY CAMERON?!)
