Titanic.

Hehe,

I just sat down to watch Titanic to break a cycle of events! I have seen Titanic a total of 4 times in my life, including tonight.

The last 3 times I have discovered I'm pregnant within weeks of watching the film! I haven't dared watch it since!

Hopefully the cycle has now been broken lol ;)

James Cameron had always been personally fascinated by the Titanic story like many of us and, I believe, had already been involved in some of the dives to the wreckage hadn't he?

...and I'm with April'sFool - can't stand Aliens either. Definitely a man-film, whereas Titanic is more of a chick flick. :p
 
Sorry if this offenRAB anyone who likes this film but I hate it like no other.

This is part due to the immense cheesiness, corniness and pathetic script.

It is also in part due to the fact that the cinema I worked at when I was a kiddie showed it from release, on the 9th January I think it was, to mid summer, and I have in fact watched this 3 hour gorgonzola laced turd-fest in excess of 20 times.

I f**king hate that piece of shit film. I couldn't stand to ever watch it again.

The only good bit is where the bloke falls off the ship as it overturns and hits the rudder with a thud. I was the only person to laugh in a completely packed cinema.:o And I was an employee.

"You jump, I jump remember". I'm gonna vom.
 
The film is actually very true to life, but a lot of the facts felt shoehorned in because the focus was mostly on those two characters.

I have read a lot about the Titanic and seen many illustrations and real-life photographs of the deco, the design of the ship, the crew, etc. and the film does accurately realise a lot of it. Even the wireless operator in the film looks exactly like he did in the photograph.
 
I saw a documentary fairly recently about James Cameron and his final dive to the wreck and I seem to remember him asking similar.

He also questioned why the Captain never thought to put the Titanic into reverse after striking the iceberg, so that there was a chance of finding help. They would have still been sinking, but also moving which would have increased their chances.

He also said that the lifeboats could have ferried passengers to the iceberg itself. They would have been darn cold for sure waiting to be rescued while standing on an iceberg, but it would have meant that the lifeboats could have rescued more people.

Nothing like what happened was meant to happen, so no one was really prepared and had to think on their feet as best they could.

I'm sure that the questions we ask now, plus many more, must have haunted the survivors for the rest of their lives.
 
At the local Derby & Joan club, an old man asks and old woman up for a dance.

She accepts and, after the first song is finished, compliments him on his dancing. The she suggests that they are now a bit old to be spending their time dancing, they could just leave together and go back to her place.

So the old man agrees and the leave.

When they get to her place, she reckons that they are a bit old for sitting around drinking coffee and chatting to get warmed-up, they cold really just go straight to the bedroom and get on with it.

Again, the old man agrees.

So off they go to the bedroom. While they are getting undressed, the old man asks if there's anything the old woman would particularly like.

She says her late husband wasn't much of a friend of anything other than missionary, she quite fancied trying french style, a bit of 69. So they get themselves positioned on the bed and get down to it.

When they are finished, and get their breath back, the old man turns to the old woman and says:

"Pity about all them people. Real shame that."

"What do you mean? What's the pity?" asks the old woman.

"Them all dying." says the old man.

"Which people?" asks the woman.

"All them on the Titanic." says the old man.

"But the Titanc sank in 1912, so what made you bring it up now?" says the woman.

"Well, there was a "Stop Press" about it sinking on that piece of paper stuck to your bum
