James Cameron recently shot down a fan’s autograph request while leaving LAX. The 55-year-old director refused to sign an Avatar poster for the fan and called him an “asshole” when approached a second time.

After the initial shock, the fan called Cameron on his bullshit attitude by stating:

TMZ captured the entire fucked up ordeal. Take a look:
