Titanic (1997) was released in movie theaters across the country. Where were you and what were you doing in life when this disaster happened?

I was here in Alaska, living in my first apartment, making my living as a food server in a fine dining restaurant. I used my tip money to watch this movie in the theater, and the rest of my tips from that day to get arse-faced drunk right after.

TITANIC is way up the list of movies fun to knock...kind of great, kind of dreadful, kind of ridiculous... it's so inventive, the leading lady gets laid... IN A CAR !!!    They run up the ship, they run down the ship... and there goes the heart of the ocean that could pay for everyone looking for the ... heart of the ocean...    biatch!

I was on an airplane going to visit my mother on L.I. The only time my kids got to see my Ma.
I never seen the movie.

Be nice to me or I’ll spoil the ending for you by telling you what happens to the ship.

I've heard it sinks.
Would be real cool if it rose from the bottom full of the dead and landed in New York where it was planned.
And eat people.

When is Hollywood going to remake RAISE THE TITANIC?

Titanic isn't my favorite movie in the world and I didn't see it in the theater, but I liked it well enough that I bought the DVD when I saw it at the thrift store.

For a more serious movie about the Titanic, A Night To Remember (1958) is very good.  It obviously doesn't have the huge budget or special effects, but it doesn't have the love story plot, though.

And don't forget it also doesn't have Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by "mmm...someobody Picasso..."

I saw Ghostbusters 2, so I already know how it ended. 





The ship eventually makes it back to New York.

I saw it during its theatrical run with my girlfriend (now my wife) ... I was obviously fulfilling relationship duties, haha.

Though honestly, I enjoyed that first vieiwing. The love story plot was poop of course, but in terms of visual effects, set designs, etc., it didn't suck.

A year or so later we were married and had moved into our first house, which happened to coincide with "Titanic's" premiere on HBO, and my lovely wife watched that damn movie over... and over.... and OVER... and OVER again for a couple of months.

Needless to say, I was grateful when she finally moved on to other things. 

I don't need to ever see it again.

It didn’t enter truly terrible territory until society as a whole made the jump to high definition TVs, when all of the crude standard definition ‘90s CGI camera tricks that the film industry was getting away with since Jurassic Park (1993) really started to rear its ugly head. If only James Cameron didn’t have his head stuck so far up his own butt regarding the entire 4K blu ray home theater market, we might be able to get some halfway decent 4K reboots of his ‘90s movies.

Ditto on the girlfriend/wife thing. I’m only really trashing this bad movie because it is my wife’s favorite and she insists on making me watch it with her. It almost makes me want to start  again.

Watching TITANIC and drinking also sounds like a plan.
