I keep hearing about something called Titanic coming on video... that's a movie, right?
Far more important and exciting is the upcoming release of Phantasm 4: Oblivion... should be out in another month or so.

Hmmm.
I didn't care much for the actual story, but I went and saw it at a theater for the special effects. Man, that ship was *impressive*. The engine room was spectacular! To me, some movies just have to be seen on the big screen, and this was one of them.

No, not everything... but ALOT of the time, when I get a feeling about how lame a movie will be, I'm right.
Like Deep Impact... looked lame, sounded lame, but I saw it anyway with a friend... and it SUCKED BIG TIME.
Same with a bunch of other movies I've seen, despite better judgement.
I'm not a big fan of period pieces, and while I can appreciate the FX and set design, I don't want to waste 3 hours of my life sitting through a contrived, recycled, poorly-written love story, and having to stare at that fatass Winslett and that pouty-lipped gay heroin addicted jerk DiCraprio, just for 5 minutes worth of a ship breaking in half and sinking.
I won't do it.
And besides.... I can't, with a clear conscience, contribute to a movie that toppled one of my all-time favs, Star Wars, from its position as the highest grossing of all time.
I will, however, personally go see the new Star Wars movies 50 times if it will help beat Titanic.

Hey, speaking of which, did you see that drawing that came out in issue 38 of the Star Wars Insider of the Star Wars characters jumping off Titanic? And on the botto it said, "Jim, congratulations! George" It followed the tradition started by Speilberg and Lucas when Star Wars bumped off Jaws as the #1 box office hit. But I assume you know this part. BTW, the article also said that although Titanic bumped off Star Wars as the highest grosser, keep in mind that tickets nowadays cost more. -Toni

Not to mention the fact that Star Wars commercialized the HELL out of itself... Cameron is making money on the box office sales, movie posters, and videos...

I personally own about 3 dozen action figures from the latest line they came out with.
I have yet to see Titanic action figures, thank the gods.

And if any come out, James Cameron can thank "Star Wars" for that.
"Star Wars" was the movie that started the whole merchandise spin-off trend. No one had ever imagined doing such a thing before that. Part of the deal for the movie (which no one ever believed was going to make any money) was that Lucas retained the rights to produce and sell merchandise tied in to the film. Naturally it was given to him; the studio heads laughed at the idea. They're not laughing anymore.
Rabbit (I remember my brother, who was in LA for a writing job, coming home and saying, "There's a movie that's going to open here soon, and it's going to be the biggest thing you've ever seen, and it's called 'Star Wars'." And I said, "Yeah, okay ...")
I can just see it, Jake Ken doll and Rose barbie..LOL Only problem is Jake sinks! -me
Too bad the sinking lasted about an hour, buddy. Your ming must speed things up or something...
Ya, me too. But I liked Titanic. I still can't believe they actually made that ship look so damn real. It was like actually looking at the actual events. And the acting was good. I thought DiCaprio would fuck the whole thing up, but he played his part good. Kate Winslet on the other hand, she was just play annoying. Seeing her naked didn't even help her out. The sinking was incredible. I can't stand people who knock a movie just because they think they have something better to do like whack off. It's pitiful how jealous some people can get, it really is.

The first Titanic movie, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER seemed more honest & sincere, but the new movie is very hisorically acurate.
I hated the movie my self 3 hour to watch a boat sink
<<I hated the movie my self 3 hour to watch a boat sink >>
1. It's a ship. 2. Actually, the sinking took 2 hr, 50 min (from time the iceberg hit, to time the ship hit the bottom).

So I've heard... and the set design is superb as well, but I'm not an easily-led sheep who is dazzled by FX and shiny things. I expect a decent plot and dialogue as well, neither of which does Titanic have. The love story is trite and recycled, and the dialouge of the main characters is poorly-written.

I dunno, the best part of Titanic was the special effects. James Cameron's sad attempt at filling in the gaps was obviously not up to par. In case you notice titanic may have won a ton of emmy's but those were for special effects, and soundtrack, and directing. They didn't win any points for acting or screen play. My point? Special effects were great but the inbetween wasn't all that great. -me

Ah, but it did win -- not Emmys (those are for television) but Oscars, and it took the top banana -- "Best Picture". I agree, the story was very weak, and in places extremely frustrating -- for heaven's sake, we know she's going to get the handcuffs off him, it doesn't have to be dragged out for twenty minutes. Despite the lousy dialogue, though, I still didn't feel like I'd been in my seat for three and a half hours.

Just one question: what principal? Just because it is really popular doesn't mean you have to hate it, just to be different. (Sorry if that's not why, it's just I know so many people who are like that) And it isn't just a chick flick, I went with my boyfriend, and he liked it too.

My thoughts on Titanic:
2) It wins an Oscar for best set design - BEST SET DESIGN MY ASS!!! Those set designers wern't very creative. They had plenty of documents to reference.
5) Titanic 2 the sequel: The ship is raised from the Atlantic, then towed from the East coast to the West coast by a Ford Pinto. The Pinto gets stuck at Donner Pass in a snow storm where the driver of the Ford Pinto has to eat his only passenger to survive. The driver is rescued by a man searching for Big Foot in a Volvo. They then continue the journey together, fall in love, and park the rotting Titanic in James Cameron's front yard. James Cameron's neighbors revolt and contact the City Council of the eye soar, and James is thrown in jail. The End.
