On Tuesday, we told you that James Cameron was in Washington, D.C., participating in an EPA-organized brainstorming session about stemming the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Titanic director was “watching [the spill] with growing horror,†apparently thinking exactly what we’ve all been thinking: “Those morons don’t know what they’re doing.†Word James, word. Cameron’s next thought was a bit more unique: “Wait a minute.
