James Cameron Begins His Deep-Sea Dive

James Cameron is on his way down. The director's long-planned trip to the deepest spot on Earth — the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep — is in progress; by the time you read this, if all goes well, Cameron will be navigating around in depths unvisited since 1960. National Geographic's coverage of the dive is excellent as well, as is the BBC's (with video).

    I can't decide if I hope it all goes well because of Terminator and Aliens, or if it's a complete failure because of Titanic and Avatar.

      I'm actually more worried if it turns out to be like The Abyss

    Can he take George Lucas with him, and leave him at the bottom?

      Weigh him down with a couple of steel Jar-Jar Binks statues. That way a couple hundred years from now people will know why.

    Does this mean that Titanic is no longer the lowest point in James Cameron's career?
