Federal officials recruit James Cameron to help with oil spill. What the hell, dropping the Titanic on it might be as viable as anything else they have tried.

From the AP:

"Top kill" didn't stop the Gulf oil spill. How about something "titanic"?

Federal officials are hoping film director James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The "Avatar" and "Titanic" director was among a group of scientists and other experts who met Tuesday with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for a brainstorming session on stopping the massive oil leak.

Did you see "Avatar"?  James Cameron can do anything!

All kidding aside I did not realize that things had got this desperate. 

However if Cameron can do it his next movie is going to be the blockbuster to beat all blockbusters!

Avatar!

I spent my Friday afternoon sitting in a darkened theater with dorky 3-D glasses on having my mind blown! Holy crap, was this movie good!

To be honest it is not really accurate to simply call this a movie, it is almost a religious experience. I have not enjoyed a movie THIS much since Jurassic Park, which made me decide at that moment that I had seen the most impressive thing Hollywood could bring to the screen. I was wrong.

Here is Countdown's take on the movie.
