Titanic. They might take away my citizenship if I don't start a topic
about it. Yes, I saw it. It's hard to find someone who hasn't.

This is a film that cost $200 million to make, and has already made 5
times that. Have you seen it?

Yes.
I think it's overhyped and overrated. Sure, it was good. But who couldn't make a good film with $200 million bucks.
I do not think it rated 19 Oscar nominations.

Aside from the ones who won't see it, I think that I'm the only (female) person who doesn't want to see Titanic again. Once was more than enough for me. I didn't cry- I was too depressed and stunned to cry. I found the whole thing to be heartbreaking and nerve-racking. After seeing the dead woman and her baby floating together, and of course after LEO dies, that was it for me. I actually wanted to leave the theatre at that point. Fixed my self a double gin & tonic when I got home.

I saw the movie twice and I loved it and I would see it again in a
second. The clothing, music, special effects, make-up and actors did a
fabulous job. Although I do think Leonardo was a baby for not attending
the Oscars. I think it is a movie that is both educational and romantic.
I cannot wait till it is out on video.

Did you ever see "A Night to Remember", made in the 60s/70s? I saw it on video a few years ago, and never cried so hard at a film in my life. when "Titanic" came out, I swore I wouldn't see it just because the reality of it is so sad.

I would recommend it if your idea of a good film is a heart-wrenching sobfest! It follows the storylines of several passengers and the crew. I honestly can't remember who was in it (I'm really bad at that!), but it's probably in the cheap section of your video store because it's so old.

Has anyone seen some of the documentaries being shown on A&E lately re Titanic? I've watched with fascination (and depression). I have to admit I haven't seen the movie -- older, less graphic movie versions have been traumatic enough for me. I don't need nightmares from seeing the new, high-tech version.

shit.
I find the fact that my kids have to go home to drug addicits and abusive parents friggin sad.
I find that an 86 y.o. disaster is now something I can learn from.
Heck.
In this case...
the Civil War is sad. Conquering of Rome. The way Europeans came onto N America, renamed it and murdered and sequestered the true native peoples. The slave trade.
F*** it's all just a sob fest I suppose.
(I'm really REALLY sorry. I think I should probably erase this but it makes me feel better to have it down. One of my students ended up in an orphanage over the break. Seems the 'boyfriend' did something to the mother. F*** this. It pisses me off what some of my kids have to go through.
just need to cry. Brandon's on a trip. No human shoulders at home.
I suppose I should've gone to Venting for this, but the 'sad' remarks kinda set me off here.)
sorry.

I am actually checking in from school right before I head down to the shelter to see my student. I've been trying to pull transportation strings all day (in between teaching the rest of my class) and I may have found a way to get him back in school here. *fingers crossed*

Hope this situation has straightened out, Stacey--there are tragedies all around us, and not all of them are marketable by the entertainment industry.

And about my student... I went to see him at the shelter last night and brought cards the class had made. He is doing fine and in a safe place. The abusive parent is out of the picture and he is getting a lot of TLC down there.

(so... that's how you've been spending your nights? driving yourself to
chick flicks? no table dancing in biker joints, cruising boulevards for
lonesome sailors, etc...?)
will never see "titanic", i have determined... don't understand the point
of purposely seeing sad (pardon me, "sad", i mean) movies- where you KNOW
characters you are manipulated into caring about die and stuff... why would
one do that to one's self? (wouldn't have seen, for instance, "terms of
endearment" if someone had only warned me that debra winger was gonna die...
i mean, why in the hell would i actually PAY to watch debra winger die?)
exception are movies (i.e., "schindler's list", "michael collins", etc...)
where the sadness has a relevent, important point to make... and just what
is the point, re:"titanic"?
(and stacey... whoa... that venting thing was pretty cool... glad the kid is
alright... far too few happy endings out there... here... hell, anywhere)...

good question nick, "what's the point?"
Some people claim seeing sad flicks makes them appreciate their own lives more, some claim it's like having company for your own miserable existence, some just want to be saddened and prefer this means as to reading the daily news.
Do you ever listen to sad songs? Is it because you want to be sad for a minute? Or do you just like the song?
I have a tendency to write about my sadness and don't use movies as a catalyst or catharsis but I also refuse to watch the evening news. so...
To each his own. I certainly don't question anyone's refusal to see a flick (not true, I DO question it, but I am not judging the decision) but I am curious about the circumstances. And I gues I'm also curious about, "what the point is."

Well I have seen Titanic more than 20 times since its been out in theaters and I must say that, even though it is a good movie, I've seen better. For all you action buffs out their that didn't like Titanic, see L.A. Confidential. Now that movie should have won best picture (I've seen it more than 30 times).

I hated the Titanic, really - what the heck was all the fuss for?? He can't act, she can't act, but the old lady can act, and she was only on for 2 minutes. The special effects were good, but I thought movies had something to do with the art of 'acting'. No? I guess I'm too old-fashioned.

Yep! Why the hell didn't they use her??? Although, they had Julia Roberts in mind for Paltrow's role at first - I'm just glad THAT didn't happen! I like Julia Roberts, but the role would have never have suited her, she's too good playing yuppies ; at least she had the sense to turn it down.
Paltrow is not BAD, but I find she's a younger, imitated version of Emma Thompson as far as acting is concerned. Thompson is a wonderful actress, but her style of acting doesn't look right when it's copied. I wish Paltrow would develop her own style - I think she could do better putting in her own touches. Or, why didn't they just use Emma? Yes, she's too old for the part - but that's what they have computers for, right?

I thought they were asking a bit much of us by casting Emma Thompson as 20 year-old Elinor in Sense and Sensibility. And while I like Gwyneth Paltrow, I'm getting tired of the English accent (Emma, Sliding Doors, Shakespeare in Love). I expect it to sound fake so it does.

I though Sense and Sensibility was just stupid - it's so unreal. Even my wildest romantic fantasies don't get ANYWHERE near that sort of soppy feel-good sort of stuff. I didn't see Emma or Sliding Doors; the shorts didn't look that interesting.
