He's there right now as I type this.

Hopefully by my next post he'll be on his way back up...

Like Cameron needs more stuff to brag about... Good for him though!

It's nice to be able to say a director has sunk to new depths and mean it as a good thing.

 

[Davros]

Did he wake Cthulhu?

Isn't it amazing that 12 people have walked on the moon (and six circled it solo) but only two people (until Cameron) had ever visited the deepest spot in the Earth's oceans?

And that for only 20 minutes more than 50 years ago!

To borrow a line from "The Core" where scientists ask how it's impossible to travel to the Earth's core in order to save it when we've traveled to the moon.

"Space is easy, it's empty."

The bottom of the ocean? Not so much. You'd need to build a craft that can sustain the pressure of the bottom of the ocean, sustain a human life, be maneuverable and capable of going back to the surface. One flaw in submersible and the occupant is dead pretty much instantly.

Did he wake Cthulhu?

Cthulhu will be starring in "Avatar 2"


I really think this experience will cause him to make "Avatar 2" very water based.

Yeah, a casting call for Cthulhu is a pain in the ass.

He's been saying all along that it would be. Remember, Cameron's been diving for many years. His interest in the deep sea goes back at least as far as The Abyss.

Nearly anything would be an improvement.

I was wondering what Troi has been up to these days.

Wokka wokka.

Seems to me that he's indicated that there is underwater stuff in the next Avatar, yeah.

As long as the next film is like the last one he has nothing to worry about or to explain.

I'm fine with it so long as they get rid of that Pandora planet... I've been looking through the Vulcan star charts for days now, and there's no trace of it. None. I'm convinced it's totally made up. A planet can't simply go missing.

It's enough that they violated the canon by introducing Kamino in the prequels... Now lost a second planet Master Obi-Wan has? That logical is not.

I swear every time I read Mariana my brain pronounces it as "Marinara". This is immediately followed by a mental image of a gigantic crevice full of spaghetti sauce.

HOMER: mmm.... Marinara Marina Trench......

Celine Dion has accepted the role.
