Living the lower middle class dream, James Cameron on 20h30 le dimanche

 

What's up I'm just renewing my house insurance policy after having a half dozen beers (a lot for me) at the sailing club Xmas party yesterday. That's the one James Cameron's cinematographer Peter de Vries does his morning exercises classes at. It's a very small sailing club.

Cameron's talking about Avatar, super compliqueé. But can you imagine the complexity of insuring Tom.Cruise for action scenes that he does himself. Blockbuster films look incredibly complicated. I know when they do explosions they get a specialized director in just for that. And recently I posted up that court case between California public prosecutors and some shocking filmmaking scene where a helicopter collapsed in a canyon killing actors.

Here's what Benji is insured for, it's not very complicated....
