This special issue of Wired is about honest-to-God, two-fisted, hairy-knuckled exploration.

ok.. I know what gives you hairy palms.. but wtf gives you hairy knuckles?!

I don't know - and if it involves "two-fisted" "exploration" I sure as hell don't want to find out.

Dark Angel?

[chrysrobyn]

That's great! Will he tell us why Dark Angel jumped the shark late in the first season?

The premise was good SciFi fare. Genetically enhanced superhumans using today's ultra-hip-lingo as if it would never go out of style. One of these, Max, is determined to find her brothers and sisters and not have a relationship to the handicapped guy to whom she is desperately attracted. Then Cameron had to introduce mutants that messed up all the "almost believable" part.

Aliens...underwater

[slumpy]

He was on NPR today talking about this and how he's applying the underwater technology to his new hollywood style movie which'll feature an all CG main character....I'm hoping it's better than Jar Jar.

He also mentioned this underwater movie is in 3D, and I hope it comes to my town.

3D!?! Excellent. I had grown tired of the 2D cardboard characters in Titanic and was hoping he would end that streak.

Re:James Cameron is the director of Aliens

[blowdart]

Imagine the satisfaction if he'd got confused. De Caprio is at the front of the boat, arms outstretched, "I'm King of the World ma!" then Winslett opens her mouth, the alien mouth shoots out into the back of his head ....

Sorry. Won't happen again.

Not what I expected...

...when I typed "honest-to-God, two-fisted, hairy-knuckled exploration." into my search engine of choice.

Oh well, the search continues...

Uhoh...

[Anonymous Coward]

I've got a sinking feeling...

laying low

[hthb]

I think James Cameron has been laying low since he made an ass of himself with the "I'm the king of the world" comment on the Oscar nominations. That's why he hasn't been making movies lately ;)

And dont forget

[kaos.geo]

"Apart from making blockbuster films, Cameron explores the depths of the oceans and is a member of the NASA Advisory Council and the Mars Society." And dont forget...He's also the self appointed "King of the World" ;-)

James Cameron?

The dude from Growing Pains?

Re:Just editing???

[Vollernurd]

I stopped reading Wired when I realised I didn't like Absolut Vodka. Or Gucci underwear. Or indeed anything I might actually be able to afford.

Or something funny.

Why is Cameron on the NASA advisory board?

[HuguesT]

This is suspicious. Are they going to pretend to go to Mars then? I suggest they use OJ Simpson on the cast. It would improve ratings.
