I do think they could have made it a much better movie if they'd cut out the Jack/Rose love story and just left in the bits with Billy Zane and that part where Kate Winslet got nekkid. And that movie should definitely have a bladder warning. I think some of the intended tragedy was probably lost on the large percentage of the audience thinking, "Oh hurry up and die already, I've got to pee!"
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.
I cried at Titanic, too. But it wasn't when the ship was sinking, or when Leo died (I was blissfully cheerful at that point). Nope--I started choking up when the camera panned over the photographs of Rose's life. Which makes me feel kinda warped, in a way. ("Oh, look, thousands of people dying--yawn. Oh, now Jack's dead--whatever. Oh, now she's all alone--okay. Oh my god, she had a good life! bawling)
What clinched it, though, was the very last scene, with all of the dead passengers--from all three classes--together in the main hall. What with my weakened defenses from the "good life" scene, I was lost.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I didn't get in the least weepy-eyed at Titanic, but a recent mother's day commercial with a little tiny girl singing to her mother while bringing her breakfast in bed --a box of cheerios and a daisy -- made me teary-eyed.

All is well that ends in pizza.

This was a coffee shop, Daniel. I don't think he was looking for booze.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
I can't imagine what he meant, unless it was instant - we all drank Nescafe until Starbucks invaded.

That's why I was confused Jim. The only thing I could think was that he was looking for brewed coffee vs. cappucinos and lattes.

Or he really meant, "Do you serve English (people) coffee?" - considering what's been happening in the country, he might have been afraid of some xenophobia.

A Night to Remember -- an English film done on a limited budget -- is quite a thundering watch and worth it if only to see how Cameron could have done better.

I am in PAIN. The American ambassador is threatening Canada should they choose to decriminalize marijuana possession.
