I first stumbled onto Slashfilm a year or two ago, and found it smarter than your average film fan web site, and homier than your average film snob web site. In other words, like talking to your cool friend who actually knows something about movies, but doesn’t make you feel like a tool for never having seen Rashomon. If you haven’t already checked out Slashfilm, and in particular David Chen’s podcast, do. In this episode, David and I talk about The Futurist and I recount a story from early on in the book, when Cameron was filming his first movie, Piranha 2, in a morgue in Jamaica.
