now we have slagged off Avatar, to start a new thread to pull to pieces the travesty that was Titanic?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Yes, look at me with my current affairs, starting a thread to slag off a film which came out about 10 years ago!

I mean, come on. Let's reduce what could have been an excellent story by inventing a 'across the class divides' love story, complete with the bastard English, jolly fiddle playing Irish, Americans who were evil and money loving (unless you were Leonardo DiC, or the fat jolly one played by Kathy Bates), a gun fight and the main character losing her virginity in the back of a car.

Honestly.

Bugger me! Where do I start?

It is impossible to articulate how much I hate this film.

It was shoddy but it was good at the time. I have read the book about how it was made and somewhere in the film there is a guy on a mobile phone ( yes a mobile in 1912) and a guy wearing Trainers.

The fact that Kate Winslet could go 'en pointe' in the middle of an Oirish jig, all the while grimacing with the effort, made me roar

I really loathe the bit where she impresses the Irish with her ballet abilities.

On the plus side, a young Ioan Gruffudd is in one of the lifeboats.

the accents were "interesting", to say the least, as I recall!

It is so bloody awful that Orm is right - where the bloody hell do you start.

Starter for ten - when Kate tries to leap of the back of the ship, slips (moment of DRAMA), gets rescued, shows a bit of thigh and Leo is accused of 'messing with MY fiancé'. Cue Kate rambling on about trying tpo see the propellers.

Christ.

at current affairs, lets! We had one a while back while it was on TV and it was great fun.

The fact that all seven stone of Leo didn't go straight over the side with her when he grabbed Kate Winslet's hand as she fell.

OH OH OH

That bit where they are dancing to the Oirish music, and it miraculously truns into Saturday Night Fever for a minute (you know where the camera shows their faces whilst they are spinnin' round)

Actually that is the best thing in the film. Apart from Leo's death ('I will never let you go' )

Aww i bet you all still cry buckets when "my heart will go on" comes on the radio.......or is that just me

Too easy.
WHat a pile of wank.

Actually I hate this film so much I think I have blanked out all this stuff.

I stumbled across a FB group about that scene GOML and the comments were full of deadly earnest people patiently explaining the symbolism of the line hahaaaaaaaa

Awful film. 'nuff said.

[tries to distinguish real movie from French and Saunders spoof]

I have been miffed for years over that "ballet" scene. What she did there, going on her toes, is physically impossible. You do NOT go on the tips - if you're bare foot you go over onto the knuckles. Nobody's feet are that strong.

Otherwise, I quite liked the Oirish dancing scene with those Oirish puppets off Live and Kicking. Oh wait ... that was the spoof. Damn.

Jedward wouldn't have looked out of place, to be honest.

It is my bf's dh's favourite fillm

Seen the film x 1 because I wanted to see what the fuss was about and frankly was hoping they would all get it in the cold but hey ho! Would have made a much better film if they had both karked it I believe!

What I can't believe is how clearly you guys can remember all the bits in it - just a grim film with cak musac if you ask me - not that anyone was!

ooh, and the frankly revolting scene in the car.

I would also like to complain about that Heart Will Go On song, because I was obsessed with it when the movie came out, and recently downloaded it while drunk. And it is now on my playlist. It's mortifying.

I have no idea why I remember this film in such forensic detail.

I haven't actually seen it in years.

I now need to see it again, whilst pissed, with lots of crisps and wine and raucous company.

I love this movie, you're all horrible!

Its the worst film I have ever seen, and way way too long.

Why did that bloody old woman not tell anyone she was on the titanic, and why didnt she sell that necklace, but keep it all those years then throw it back?

And why dont they both just get on the piece of wood at the end?

"Give us a chance to live". Bah. I hate that stupid film. OH has never even seen it, clearly has more sense than me.

juney, to quote Madonna (kind of) - you're going to have to justify your love.
