Make This Happen!

I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy assassination, and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto.

And I’m going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won’t be a rain forest. I’m not saying we won’t see what we’ve already seen; we’ll see more of that as well."
I may be in the minority that really enjoyed the film, but I definitely want to see where Cameron goes with this. His work in the oceans in The Abyss was…
