8 Milestones in the Evolution of James Cameron

This weekend, James Cameron delivers Sanctum , a rare Cameron produced movie that he didn’t direct. But how did Cameron, the director of the two most successful films of all time, get to this point after his disaster of a big-screen debut, Piranha II: The Spawning ? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of projects (not necessarily his best projects, mind you) to illustrate what led to a director’s current success. And with Cameron, it appears, up to this point, everything that he touches turns into gold (literally, because, you know, his movies make a lot of money).

Oh, Of Course: Pam Grier Taught Richard Pryor to Read

Even though Richard Pryor gave her a coke-encrusted vagina once, Mars Attacks! seventeenth-lead Pam Grier claims she taught the comic legend to read while they were dating. In her new memoir, Grier recalls, “He would learn his lines phonetically and people would help him learn his lines, but he’d say, ‘Baby, I wanna learn how to read, and I wanna read War & Peace .” I thought I sensed some Napoleonic angst in Brewster’s Millions .

The Coen Brothers Will Watch Tara Reid in The Big Lebowski 2, But Won’t Make It

The whole Internet had a big laugh the other day when one-time tabloid staple Tara Reid announced that she’d be co-starring in The Big Lebowski 2 later this year. ( As Louis happily noted , he’s co-starring in Mrs. Miniver 2 , due in theaters roughly at the same time.) If that news surprised you, imagine being the Coen Brothers. “I’m glad she’s working on it,” Ethan said to Matthew Odam of Austin 360. “Well, we don’t [have anything planned] but we’ll watch it when it comes out.” Added Joel: “Especially if Tara’s in it.” Godspeed, Ms. Reid!
