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

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

  2. Dark Angel? by chrysrobyn · · Score: 3, Funny

    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.

    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.

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

    Oh well, the search continues...

    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 ;)

    "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" ;-)

    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.

  9. Why is Cameron on the NASA advisory board? by HuguesT · · Score: 2, Funny

    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.
