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.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
New Star Trek Doesn't Use Colons trailer! Lookin' good. I'm excited to see Benedict Cumberbatch as a villain.

Yeah, it's not so much a "too popular" issue as a "stop telling me what to do with my time, even nicely" issue for me.
I love the clothing styles from the Titanic period. If I ever got married, I'd probably see about finding something similar to one of Rose's outfits as a wedding dress (money and time permitting).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
a "stop telling me what to do with my time, even nicely" issue for me.
Then don't tell anyone you saw it? It's not like the movie knows the difference.

Because books.
I love Titanic pretty unironically, despite the emotional manipulation and the tragedy porn of it all. And I do love the era and the clothes. And the cast! The cast is great.

Remember, the J. Peterman company produced replicas. They still turn up on eBay every now and then. (Hi, I have a saved search for the embroidered red silk boots.)
