Fuck you, BP :
James Cameron Rejected By BP to Lend Helping Hand with Oil Spill

James Cameron does not agree with the way BP is handling the oil spill disaster plaguing the Gulf of Mexico and threatening to reach the Atlantic. The award-winning director of Avatar and Titanic has taken a stance on the matter, calling the oil conglomerate a bunch of ?morons,? after they have rejected his offer to help fight the catastrophic spill.

Jesus Christ..!!!

'Those morons don't know what they're doing': James Cameron's view as yet another BP oil spill fix fails

'Titanic' director James Cameron has labelled those trying to clean up the BP oil spill 'morons' after revealed BP turned down his offer of help.
Mr Cameron also said he knew some 'really, really, really smart people' who could help with the spill. The director is considered an expert in undersea filming and who has extensive experience working with submersible robots,

'Over the last few weeks I've watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what's happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don't know what they're doing,' he said yesterday at the All Things Digital technology conference.

What is he going to do? Besides being an attention whore?

[roly]

lol, and what the fuck does james cameron know about deep sea oil drilling? he should stick to making films and leave it to the experts. the guy obviously has an ego to call them morons for not letting him help.

[Sly]

Why would they let a director come in and tell them how to do things?

Hey, I want to go help. What would they tell me?

[2MuchMark]

Between his movies Titanic and Avatar, James Cameron spent alot of time in very deep waters and produced a couple of documentaries on the subject. The guy is much more than a movie director. He's also an advisor to a few agencies including Nasa.

Oil spill: James Cameron and EPA meet0
Washington, DC (Global Adventures): After Kevin Costner (Global Adventures reported here), filmmaker James Cameron is joining the battle to control the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Phil Nuytten, president of Vancouver-based Nuytco Research, joined Cameron in Washington, DC to meet with government officials, academics, and scientists from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and discuss potential ways to stop the environmental disaster.

The Canadian born director of movies such as The Abyss, Titanic, and Avatar is considered an expert in the use of underwater vehicles. A few weeks ago, Cameron contacted BP and offered the use of his deep-dive craft. BP already has a small fleet of remote operated vehicles, or ROV?s, that can descent to the ocean floor and monitor the situation. All efforts to use the vehicles to control the oil spill have failed so far.

While Cameron served on a NASA Advisory Board and can draw on experience gained during the development of technology used to shoot documentaries about the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck, Phil Nuytten has logged thousands of hour's underwater working as a commercial diver and inventor of deep sea equipment.

In 1999, Nytco Research developed a hard shell diving suite called "DeepWorker 2000." The device is rated to submerge 2,000 feet (610 meters) while maintaining an inside pressure of one atmosphere, thus allowing divers to descend and ascent at will without the need for decompression. The units were capable to support submerged divers for up to 12 hours.

The U.S. Navy used a one- atmosphere 'Hardsuit' based on Nuytten's patent to set a world record in 2006 by descending to a depth of 2,000 feet (610 meters). Since, Nuytten and his team have perfected the design of the Exosuit and developed an underwater training program to prepare NASA astronauts for long-term missions in extreme environments. If nothing else emerges, a new blockbuster could rise from the deep.

I heard he is better known as "James Bond"

Seriously, wtf would he be able to do besides getting a lot of attention out of it (and getting it already)!

Wheres Jacque Questo when you need him?!

Just because I know how to swim doesn't mean I am a Navy SEAL. Same sort of thing, doing underwater observation and containing an oil leak are two completely different things.

James Cameron has never directed any James Bond movies. You can read his filmography here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000116/

My thoughts exactly.

[DateDoc]

Maybe we can stuff him down the pipe to plug it!

[cosis]

james cameron couldn't do shit, he would just get in the way

[Sly]

LOL. I have never seen such a consensus on GFY.

[ProG]

BP controls all the cameras and therefor control what information goes to the public. They just don't want him (or anyone else) down there capturing footage of how bad it really is and stupid they really are.

[LeRoy]

How bad can it really get?

BP should be using the "I told you so" line after letting James Cameron help.

I believe that Nytco is one of the top submersible companies in the world.. if the EPA bothered to listen to them, they have an idea

CGI effects can always help...

I heard they also turned down this guys help

Now he just needs to invent one that can allow them to go down another 3,000 feet and we can send a diver down there to fix it.

[Meeper]

Theres only one person left for the job IMO

[Jarmusch]

He's planning on doing an oil spill disaster movie and wants to sneak his fancy 3d cameras down there.

[2MuchMark]

At this point, BP shouldn't be turning away any ideas. They caused the disaster in the first place and all of their attempts have failed while 40 days later the pipe is still spilling its spuge and killing everything in the gulf. It's only a matter of time before we all feel the effects that this mess will cause to the food chain down there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they closed the beach at Internext Miami this summer.

[Davy]

It would have looked really bad for BP if they agreed to get help from Cameron. So rejecting his offer was not a that bad idea.

[The Duck]

Who does James Cameron think he is anyway?

Yea, because BP are obviously experts in stopping this raging oil leak.

if we wanted a 3d spill cam then yah, send cameron in, otherwise, he's just another idiot spouting off.

his *advising* nasa went as far as investigating 3d cam technology for the mars mission.

[fatfoo]

James Cameron also helped create Terminator I and Terminator II movies.

This is interesting.

[Semi-Retired-Dave]

Where is Macgyver when you need him.

If James Cameron is going to be in their way, they don't need him. But, he may know a few things and they should hear him out.

[AmeliaG]

With James Cameron's ego, once he was permitted to help, I think he would find a solution.

[Adam_M]

Here is a good speech Cameron that tells a little about is diving. Also Ted is an awesome site

[thickcash_amo]

Well....they are doing such a great freaking job on their own!

They don't want any help because they know exactly what they are doing. Making it worse and worse so certain entities can profit from the disaster and piss off more and more people to change the overall beliefs in "carbon trading" legislation..

Obama hopes oil spill boosts support for climate bill
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...060200380.html

[EliteWebmaster]

Here is another hollywood attention grabbing idiot who wants the spotlight on himself.

The only moron here is James Cameron. What does an overpaid, highly overrated hollywood director know about fixing this oil leak that a bunch of intelligent engineers, scientists, oil industry experts from all around the world don't?

Seriously?? He should stick to eating twinkies and thank his lucky stars that people actually think Avatar is a good movie.

[$5 submissions]

Hey... doesn't BP already have a board of DIRECTORS? (drum roll and cymbals) ;)

Seriously, what does Cameron bring to the table that BP doesn't already have access to?

I think the guy deserves to at least be listened to...

[Jim_Gunn]

BP turned down Cameron's offer for help because it would have made them look bad and they also don't want anyone else's cameras down there showing what an environmental catastrophe this really is. Besides being a movie director he's also an inventor and knows a lot about the deep ocean and technology. So it's not out of the question that he might have something to offer. Anyway let's see how many more days or weeks this goes until the best and brightest scientists and engineers figure out a way to fix this mess.

which shows how difficult the situation is. the problem isn't operating an rov at those depths its plugging the hole, which requires an engineering solution. and as clever cameron thinks he is, you become a professional engineer after years of academic study and hands on experience. engineering is a profession that you don't just pick up after making a few films, the math and science etc is too complex for that.

bp are one of the worlds biggest companies, and if this is/will costing them billions. if there was anyone out there with the expertise to fix this, they would have been hired whatever the cost. the solutions they are trying are obviously the best of a limited number of options.
