BP to use Costner's machines

[Canceled2]

Kevin Costner hopes his invention can make the oil spill saga have a Hollywood ending.

The "Field of Dreams" actor called his oil separator a "life preserver," saying that his device can help clean up the Gulf and that it's not too late to put it into action.

Costner told ABC's Sam Champion on "Good Morning America" that BP has already purchased 32 of the machines.

"I'm not on a white horse," Costner said. "I'm not the savior to this thing. But I'm kind of saying, like, I got a life preserver."

The device, which is designed to be brought to the spill site on barges, can separate 99% of oil from water and recycle up to 2,000 barrels per day. Costner spent 15 years and $20 million of his own money to develop the machine.

He made up for waterworld, but nothing will ever make up for Robin Hood.

Am I the only person in the world that liked Waterworld? I know it is a cult flick, but I consider it one of my faves...

LOL
The movie itself isn't that bad, but his performance is like vanilla ice cream.

He's just not action material. Whispering cornstalks? You got it! Action hero? Ummm This is not working

I liked both Waterworld and Robin Hood; his accent was bad in RH, but it was easy to get past. Both really good popcorn flicks.

I liked everything but him. His lack of even attempting an accent is why he sucked

Oh, he tried it several times and I hurt more each time. I was glad when he stopped and just tried acting for a bit. He obviously can only do one at a time, and only one of them with any sort of ability..

Did you see him sitting in the back of the room at the congressional dressing down of Tony Hayward?

I hope and pray they do what he claims they can.

BTW-"Dances with Wolves" was excellent~~~

Waterworld was not so bad.

If this "life preserver" of his works, I'll buy blue-ray copies of Waterworld, Robin Hood, and Wyatt Earp.

His best movie was Tincup, and his worst was Wyatt Earp.

I can't stand Waterworld but the Postman is not a bad film despite what the critics said about it at the time of release.

He made up for waterworld, but nothing will ever make up for Robin Hood.

The better Robin Hood at roughly the same time was the one with Patrick Bergin and Uma Thurman.

I can't stand Waterworld but the Postman is not a bad film despite what the critics said about it at the time of release.

And I loved Tom Petty's little cameo in the Postman..."Didn't you used to be famous", Costner asks...

How did he get an exemption from the 15ppm EPA rule?
