it's not bad for a chick flick...the movie was obviously not really about the titanic and its fate...have to look at it for what it was, a superficial love story...takes a real man to enjoy a chick flick at the appropriate time.......


after a marathon session of shoot'em up blood and guts bombs and babes action movies...  :D

My favourite bit is when Jack dies.

Jack... Rose... Jack... Rose... Jack... Rose... <gurgle> Jack... Rose... <goes blue> and so on, until the tediously obvious conclusion.

Chick flick best avoided unless I'm riffing it for the wife.

I stand by my statement.  Jack was a pretty bright guy.  Climb up on the rubble and pull Rose up with you.  Simple... but NOOOOOOO.... gurgle gurgle fade to blue  :devil

Bingo... they took a great story and turned it into a Love Story, a la Pearl Harbor.

If you get a chance, take a look at Sinking of the Lusitania: Terror at Sea, it was a low budget film that chronicles one man's experience through the event.

Okay, I'll admit I got a bit mushy inside at the end, and they did a good job of re-creating the scope of the disaster based on what we knew back then.  But watching it years later I can't help but think I was had. It's like being manipulated into thinking something is good when in fact it's all shallow stupidity.

That's why I didn't like Avatar.  It had FEEL THIS, SUCKERS!!!! written all over it.

I heard they made a movie called raising the titanic, got no stars i think. Really sucked, then there was this parody or teaser trailer of jack being frozen and revived in like 2000 and Rose was dead and he wouldn't let anything stop him from getting the truth, i thought it was pretty funny.  :lol

Apparently they rebuilt it so they could have a disaster again.

Actually, the best Titanic reboot was for the Doctor Who Christmas Special a while back:

Felt like watching it again, its been on my DVR for the past 3 years. I watch it every few months. But seriously who honestly cried at the end?   :lol

Only chicks and dudes that like other dudes watch Titanic.

Or dudes who are 'encouraged' to see it by the chicks they are with.... :uhoh

but no I thought it was worse than being forced to read a Jane Austen book.
