James Cameron on spending his 40th birthday with Stanley Kubrick explaining to him how "True Lies" (1994) was made:
"Meeting Stanley Kubrick was my 40th birthday present to myself. I was on vacation in Europe, and I called him up and said, "I'm coming over," and went to his house in England. My wife at the time was freaked out that I wasn't going to be back home for my birthday. But I said, "I'm going to meet Stanley Kubrick. There's no present, no surprise party, no nothing you could give me that would supersede that."
So I went to see this reclusive guy knocking around this big house and he just totally wanted to know how 'True Lies' (1994) was made. He had a print of it on his KEM down in his basement, and made me sit there and tell him how I had done all the effects shots. So I spent the whole time talking about my movie with Stanley Kubrick, which was not where I thought the day was going to go. But I want to be like Stanley, I want to be that guy. When I'm 80, I want to still be the guy trying to figure it all out."

P.S: On this day, 32 years ago, "True Lies" (1994) premiered in Westwood, California, USA.

I wrote about Jableh, a coastal Alawite city in Syria. There’s been a lot of misinformation about what happened there in March. But like all political and violent events, the story began long before the explosion.
