If director James Cameron, who "was among a group of experts called in to meet with officials at the Environmental Protection Agency to help come up with ideas to deal with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico," actually does provide a solution to the problem, well, good lord, can you imagine the swelling of his already massive ego? I don't know if the world is ready to confront something that gigantic. I mean, the thing is going to be so big that we're gonna need to call in Jerry Bruckheimer to consult on how to blow it up.
Because he "has experience working underwater"?
This was my response at first too! But he actually has more experience filming at super deep depths than just about anyone else, and he's a giant nerd about it. The documentary he and his crew made about the titanic was shot at 2 or 3 miles underwater, putting him in a rare class of underwater camera operators.
Also, come on. The Abyss. The man's an expert!
Porn directors are waiting breathlessly by their phones due to their experience plugging holes.
I hope the solution features a swilling, over-the-top ballad performed by a female vocal powerhouse!
The blue critterpeople (Na'av'whatever they're called) are totally expendable. We need not provide them with OSHA hazmat suits, costly underwater diving gear, or proper tools.
Next you'll tell me that Brad Pitt is designing and building houses in New Orleans.
I think his Top Prig procedure involves discharging James Cameron himself directly into the leak site, in hopes that his ego swells to fit the holes precisely.
I was going to make a snarky comment but now that this has been posted there is really no need.
-ballooning with stifled LOLs at this comment-
Only Bono can save us now!
Sending our love down a well, ALL THE WAY DOWN!
Oh wait, that was Sting.
Just run the goddamn gushercam footage backwards. Sheesh.
You know what would provide impetus for him to up the ante? If we ask his ex-wife for some solutions and put them in direct competition.
Oh! Also Kevin Costner!
Odd, that they didn't also ask Hulk Hogan or A-Rod.
Well, the man did direct Piranha II, so clearly his decades of experience with both fresh- and saltwatohmyfuckinggod just tell us you're giving up already.
Could be worse. They could've consulted Michael Bay.
