Cameron dives deep

[Rico]

Love this kind of stuff.  James Cameron is heading down about 7 miles into the ocean in his specially designed submersible.  Incredible!

That is so cool. I love it when dudes with lot's of $ and imagination do stuff like this. That's why I dig Richard Branson as well, nerds with huge pile of scratch!

Amen to that, Bryan.  I read about this before, but they didn't have pictures of the vehicle.  This is amazing.

Amazing, almost twice as deep as current subs. It's a totally different world down there. I hope he films it.

[Poodyglitz]

Impressive. Good on him!

What was that movie with Ed Harris where they found this whole civilization in the deep ocean - The Abyss?  Maybe James Cameron will be coming up topside bouyed by an underwater city.. ;)

He is definitely filming it.  The challenge is trying to get the most time at the bottom he can manage safely.  I think they are shooting for 6 hours at the 7 mile depth.

Let's hope life doesn't imitate art!

Even worse idea..jar-jar's city could be down there....

For that movie, Cameron developed the first diving helmet with the ability to record underwater dialogue. He did "Titanic" so he could explore underwater.

I'm a big fan of "The Abyss". I always though it was underrated as a film and the visuals, set, and underwater work are amazing.

I agree, it is a great movie.  I loved the 'living' column of water.  That was pretty amazing for the time.

I love that movie. The acting, the story points, the effects, the underwater stuff. It took me a while to get used to the aliens. The Bud/Lindsey and civilian/military conflicts were really nice touches.

And to think it was filmed at a nuclear power facility.

That was so cool. It paved the way for the T-1000.
