I've tried to watch Titanic--it's not the hype that turns me off. The romance storyline was really unengaging for me, and I don't like real life disaster movies, so its 0 for 2.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Finally saw Oz, the Great and Powerful this weekend. I must say that everyone who said Franco was miscast could not be more correct. For a good actor, he was really...flat. And I mourn for how awesome RDJ would have been.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw 42 last night. It was very old fashioned and totally movie-of-the-week in tone, but I still really liked it. The actress who plays Rachel Robinson is amazeballs.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I saw 42 yesterday also. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm such the target audience that I didn't get the movie-of-the-week vibe. I have game tickets today, which is Jackie Robinson day.

I watch Titanic for costume/set dressing porn, because all of that is GORGEOUS. And because I'm easily emotionally manipulated by media, if I watch through the ship sinking, I sob at the scene of the elderly couple in the bed.

the elderly couple in the bed.
I can't remember their names, but she refused to get in the lifeboat without him, he naturally wouldn't go yet, so she quite calmly walked away from the boats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Strauses, right?

Sounds right. I was thinking Strauss and going, "No, that's waltzes."

Yeah, Ida and Isidor Straus. Macy's! [link] (I know this because I used to live across from Straus park.)
