I am so bored...

lmao titanic is boooooooooring you'll even be more bored after watching it.

me i'm going to bed in 5 minutes :D i have school in 8hours and 30 minutes
 
change the cast and change the love story, titanic would have never been that huge, it's all about strategic moves that made this movie the number one blockbuster ever

james cameron = innovative, brillant + special fx = attention
300M budget = attention
titanic event = worldwide known drama story = attention
christmas holidays opening = attention
leo + love story = girls + watching the movie twice and more = major attention

it's still a good movie though, and james cameron owns like mofo
 
Damn I hated Titanic, and all those other chic movies that past girlfriends have made me sit thru and watch... Girl Interrupted, Moulan Rouge, Coyote Ugly, etc... I know some of ya'll have been forced to watch them too!!
 
Who knew that the rantings of one tortured soul would be so applicable to all walks of life:

"My people are endangered. Dropping like flies, one-by-one, they turn to the dark side. Not me. I'm one of the few still fighting the good war: I still haven't seen Titanic.
Why do I refuse to see this movie? It's bullshit. That's why. As far as I understand, it's a love story. But is it really? To me, it sounds like the theme of adultery in disguise. Why go through all the trouble of recreating every meticulous detail of the Titanic and its era if you're going to create some fictional love story to go along with it? WHO CARES? What's the point? If you've seen the Titanic, ask your self what the movie meant to you. If you have to think about the answer, your answer is wrong. The answer is nothing. The Titanic means nothing. It's old news, and this new love story is bullshit. Simple as that. Go watch Rambo II or something, and quit raving about the movie.
Then come the idiots. The flaming Titanic idiots from hell. Those morons that buy the movie, and then edit the nudity so they can watch it with their families. But then they leave in all the savage violence and hatred in the movie, along with the entire theme of adultery. Sure, why not? Class segregation and adultery are acceptable family values, but heaven forbid people see a little nudity. It might cause everybody to break out into an orgy of sex and violence. Please. I wonder why the Titanic appeals to the intellect of 13 year old girls? Maybe because it's a shitty, simple movie for shitty simple people. Shitty, Shitty, Shitty, Shitty. I can't say it enough. Titanic is shitty. Only shit-eaters would see it. Worthless. Leave me alone."

Who told you that? Hollywood?

Gross - $600,779,824 (USA) (20 September 1998)
Rentals - $324,425,520 (USA) $900,000,000 (Worldwide) -imdb.com

I was one of the 12 million people that went to go see Titanic 5 times.

Of course, I thought Brokeback Mountain was a powerful love story so our opinions are most likely different.

On a side note- Maddox is a douche in this case because he was so preoccupied with the thought of not wanting to see a "chick flick" that he failed to catch the part about Rose and Cal being unmarried.

If Tatanic is nothing then so is Schindler's List. It's a powerful love story set in a real human drama. It's much more than the ship sinking, it's about how it got there and what happened afterwards.

You mean great as in a lot of viewers and revenues?
I thought you meant great as in great story.

Also, how is Schindler's List a love story?
 
The last time I watched it was back in 98-99, so when I saw it last night, I thought it was fantastic.

People went to see Titanic (over and over gain) because the story touched them. It wasn't because 13 year old girls wanted to see Leo. Every time I went to go see it, the threater was filled with different people of all ages. I heard people clapping their hands at the end on more than one occasion.


Schindler's List is not a love story, it is a powerful human drama that's real. Titanic is also a powerful human drama that's real.

Let me put it this way------- Schindler's List is one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's shot in black&white and is 195 minnutes long- sooooo boring. We all know what happens- Jews get killed.

Ah, i disagree my comrade. Schindler's List is based on an actual story. There's not toomuch Hollywoodian BS attached. When Maddox rightly claims it's lame to take the historic sinking of the Titanic, and concoct some silly love scheme around it to make it a boo-boo grab-yer-Kleenex'-flick.
