I was forced to go to that bomb. After what seemed an eternity in hell it finally sank. What a piece of crap! I remember when the director of that P.O.S. accepted his award and asked the audience to share a moment of silence for all the poor souls who lost their lives on the Titanic--what a pompous a-hole, I hope there's a special place in hell for that showboat.
Too bad it wasn't a documentary and Leonardo DiCaprio was at the bottom of the ocean.
I tend to like movies that are among the less successful.
I was one of the only eight people in the Continental U.S. who DIDN'T see that at theatrical release. I ended up catching it in 2001 on HBO, and my first thought, upon seeing the whole thing, is that I would've been locked up in jail had I seen that piece of crap at the theater, for disturbing the piece by demanding both time and money back.
Bubba, go to any good celeb fakes site and download boobies to your heart's content.
Of course not. It was crap. But then when did the most popular things in the world ever deserve to be so?
Titanic was such a cliche of a movie. It deserved to win the Oscar for special effects, but that's it. Essentially, it was a made-for-tv movie.
All I liked about the 1998 mega-production of "Titanic" besides its superb special visual effects was (1.) another reminder that there is no such thing as an "unsinkable" ship regardless of how large, well-built and well-engineered it is and (2.) it is also another reminder that the Titanic's sinking nearly 93 years ago killing 1,553 people still reigns supreme as history's worst single-ship maritime disaster which will probably never be topped.
I agree with "Mr. Bostonian" that "Titanic" is such a cliché of a movie in that there have been six productions thereof, the first one being the 1953 production of "Titanic" starring Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck. The second one was a 2-hour live TV drama telecast on the old "Climax!" show on CBS-TV in 1955 (Yes, that telecast was live in real time from CBS Television City in Hollywood in that videotape was still in the experimental stages of development at the time and not yet perfected.) The third production was the British 1958 movie "A Night To Remember," the fourth being a 2-hour TV movie shown sometime between the late 1980's and early 1990's, the fifth one being a 4-hour 2-part TV mini-series starring Catherine Zeta Jones and George C. Scott who played Captain Smith speaking just about the phoniest Queen's English I ever heard an American actor do --- that rôle should have gone to Sir Alec Guiness who was still alive at the time that mini-series. We all know about the sixth (and hopefully the last) re-creation of the "Titanic" mega-disaster. By the way, there was a mega-flop of a movie made somewhere between the late 1970's and the early 1980's called "Raise The Titanic" which depicted that ship being raised perfectly intact (except for the iceberg-inflicted gash in her starboard side.) Yes, the "Titanic" story has become pretty much as clichéed as the first production and all the subsequent remakes of "Beau Geste."
