Water is not wet!
Would be badass if this was an Orson Welles type stunt but with Cthulhu!

I hope he finds the source of The Bloop.

Current hobby? You don't know Cameron very well. I'd say filmmaking is more a hobby than his deep-sea diving at this point.
Wrong trench.

This is really cool. Is he planning on moving around, or is he going to sit in one place? I hope the lights don't scare away any potential animals.

James Cameron's hobbies are lame much like his recent movies
Let's bring some more of that can-do Kennedy spirit!
EDIT:
Anyway haters (such as myself) be damned, stuff like this is pretty cool. Good thing for Cameron to do with his money without going straight philanthropist.
Deep sea diving is lame now?

This may very well be one of my favorite posts ever.
It doesn't hurt that the poster's name is Borgnine

All I can think of is the Abyss, and Cameron down there typing this out:
"Knew this was a one way ticket, but you know I had to come."

Knowing what could happen with a breach at these depths is terrifying. Also, being confined in a solitary space is bad enough but being confined to a space where it'll take hours to actually return from and get out of... even worse.

He can pay for it himself, I guess.
Anyway, Cameron should just die already... he hasn't done anything worthwhile in 21 years...

The balls on this man. In case anything happens (non-immediate implosion-related), there's no way the footage can be redeemed right?
It would be badass if he was never to be heard from again only to reemerge when he hears Justin Lin was tapped to helm Avatar 2.

He paid for the damn thing so he can do what he wants.
And yes he has a longstanding and well known obsession with deep ocean diving.
As for reasons to hate him, I find it hard to forgive what he did to Legend of Korra.
Wow, really? What have you done "worthwhile" in the last 21 years, that makes you think you are more entitled to life than Cameron?
Dude, he's a self-proclaimed Oxigen_Waste.

I love the fact that this is a competition. I actually like Cameron's sub much more than Branson's.

Though none of those is more iconic than the Trieste if you ask me.

What did he do to Legend of Korra?

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I wish I could make .gif's right now.
Mythbusters - Meat man implodes into his helmet.
This is what I think of when I think of deep sea diving.

It's now called The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra because Cameron is a twat.

The show had to change its name. Nothing to get upset about imo.

Nothing whatsoever... But I'm not contributing towards the dumbing down of modern cinema, am I? It annoys me that someone as talented as him became so centered on greed. He made more than enough money while he was making movies with character, it just strikes me as a very weak-spirited decision to willingly venture into the soulless blockbuster void when he could've kept going. In short, he lacks the integrity that his talent deserves.

Of course not, there is such a thing as hyperbole... I obviously don't want him to die. It's just a way of saying he should be ashamed of himself.

Of course, we are talking about crimes against humanity here. And the worse thing is that he probably enjoyed every minute of it.
This post is very confusing.

Seriously??! Shame on you.
Pretty sure the whole of the ocean has been mapped out with sonar by now.

How so?
What? Come on, be honest... this is the guy who made Aliens, the Abyss and Terminator 1 and 2... ever since T2 he's graced us with a mediocre action comedy (true lies) a melodramatic disaster movie (titanic) and a mind-numbing Pocahontas remake. Anyone who even tries to refute that his film making career has gone from admirable and respectable to unimaginative poopoo that's easy to swallow is in denial.
Wow dude you're so cool you're like the first to point this out haha so clever. It's also like Dances with Wolves and Ferngully don't forget!!!

Right, 'coz everybody knows truths are only relevant when first announced/discovered. You're so good at sarcasm. *insert bender video*
Seriously, the saddest part is... the original script was amazing... but no, they had to dumb it down to the point of rendering it braindead just so it wouldn't repel audiences. *sigh*

I think they just changed it to avoid confusion... lincesing doesn't give you ownership of a pre-existing word... there were plenty of Avatars well before JC even wrote the damn thing.
Lol, JC.
