One Hollyweirdo with courage

I wouldn’t give ten cents for most Hollyweird goofballs, but the director of Avatar (a singularly stupid movie) is worth that and much more. Instead of blowing his fortune on illegal drugs and cheap political advice, James Cameron makes technological history.

Talk about courage, this guy really has it. His solo rocketing plunge off the coast of Guam, seven miles to the bottom of the Marianna Trench—the deepest “inner space” spot on Earth— sure proved it. Just thinking about his ninety-minute descent in the fetal position makes me sweat.

    Hmm. You get a movie, you get a statue. Thanks for the link, David.

  2. Yes, he has guts for sure. And it looks like you went to see the Avatar. I skipped after reading about the plot.
