I heard rumors about how hard this shoot was. It’s also one of my favorite films… The director’s cut, especially. Even if this story is exaggerated, it’s still remarkable that he survived. I’d say, Peter, that this proves you should get certified. That the training saves lives.

i just got home from the Avatar premier at the Chinese theater in Hollywood and it’s mindboggling. Great story, the equivalent of the American Indians being outnumbered and manhandled into extinction. This is a groundbreaking film. I bought the book yesterday and I’m halfway through and it’s just as good, fantastic actually. great stories and really well written. New information. This thing is a bible for all things Cameron. There are no slow spots.

Holy cow! That is an amazing story. The Abyss is one of my favorite movies. I bawl my stupid head off at the end, there. I had no idea it was such an ordeal to shoot.

Wow. Great passage, thanks for sharing, Lev. I went from having no interest in this book to considering it a must-read. Cameron is a bad ass.
