Spoiler alert: TITANIC WAS AWESOME

[exsequar]

I just watched Titanic all the way through for the first time in probably 5 or 6 years. I watched in huge HD with surround sound, and lemme tell you, that's the way to do it. I'd have preferred no TNT censoring or commercials, but you can't have everything. It's still one of the most powerful movies ever, UGH. I fall in love with Jack every single goddamn time, and then (SPOILER) he DIES and I'm just like ;_______; and it's a mess. I was 11 when it came out and saw it 4 times in theaters - shit like that leaves an impression. The whole thing is also just that much more powerful because it really HAPPENED, you know? No one sat in a room in Hollywood and said "You know what would be really dramatic? The biggest ship ever made sinking on its maiden voyage! From an iceberg hit! With not enough lifeboats!" "Yeah, that shit would kill at the box office!" Nope, REALITY came up with this heartrending tragedy, and augh, it does rend my heart. *SNIFF* It's just such a strong movie, from start to finish, from visuals to music to story to characters, and oh, definitely one of my all-time favorites. Wahh.

I love that I'm on vacation and totally had those ~4 hours (with commercials) to kill on this movie. <333

I'm feeling slightly better, but most of today was spent on a couch (reading Nightswimming! I made it less than halfway! It's a BEAST), and when I stood up it felt like my brain was making a bid for freedom out the back of my skull. That's abated a bit so I have hope.

I also rewatched the pilot of Farscape with my sister, because it was the only DVD I had sitting around. Ahahah so ridiculous! But Aeryn Sun, HOW SO PRETTY AND BADASS? Love <3

I hope the internet is chugging along okay without me! :P

HAHAHA at you warning about SPOILERS for Titanic. You are so sweet!

I think that movie came out when I was like... Ten. Are spoiler tags even still needed?

SPOILER - Everyone Dies - SPOILER

:D

That's the point, it was a joke! If I was really warning for spoilers, I would put a cut tag :P Also, the post title is a reference to this awesome macro:



Don't worry, I'm pretty sure everyone's aware of how Titanic ends! :P

[reinventweather.livejournal.com]

THAT IS THE BEST MACRO I HAVE EVER SEEN THE END

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

AFTER A MILLION AT ontd_startrek IT'S STILL MY FAVORITE.

IT MIGHT BE MY FB PROFILE PICTURE NOW.

:D I know babe. I'm really tired and I saw that Titanic was on and somehow I ended up watching an Iron Maiden concert with my dad instead!

Plus its late here. hahahaha at the picture!

Oh, you don't have to tell me that Titanic was awesome. I KNOW. I own the super special collector's edition DVD. ♥

Yeah, I was somewhere in middle school when it came out and I saw it in the theaters with my mom and her friend. I CRIED SO MUCH. Seeing it when you're older is just as awesome. Because the visual effects are stunning, the action and drama are fantastic, and Kate & Leo are love. :)

There's a reason it's the all-time highest box-office grosser, people!!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I think as soon as I have a paycheck that will be one of the things I splurge on! I still own it on VHS, but clearly that is pointless at this stage :P

Ugh, KATE AND LEO! How happy does it make me that they've both become massively talented and successful actors? Because they both deserve it so much! No useless teen heartthrobs these. Ugh, their scenes together just CRACKLE. I watched Kate's Golden Globe (I think?) acceptance speech like ten times where she thanks Leo so profusely and it's just so beautiful. Siiiiiigh. Original OTP!!

Ahhhh YOUR ICON! I can't wait for the new film, and I can't help but continue to be amused by the extent to which the studio uses Harry&Hermione to market. BFF love! \o/

[cealchylle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know! You wouldn't have thought it at the time, because they started out as nobodies, but now they are two of my favorite actors ever! And yeah, I loooove that they're best friends in real life.

I'm so excited for HBP too! Especially all the parts with Draco. And Tom Riddle. I love all the dark stuff in that book.

I've never seen Titanic? /o\

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

o.O

[reinventweather.livejournal.com]

...I just, couldn't see it in theaters when it came out (the 'rents wouldn't let me go) and I never had a chance to since then?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

P.S. Remedy this. STAT!

[reinventweather.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh okay!

[vanitykidman.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I don't know you... but I have to say

GO WATCH IT NOW!!!!!! *grins*

I mean its longer than God, and the ending isn't exactly a surprise- but its totally awesome!

[reinventweather.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaahaha, I feel like I have to now. Not that that is a bad thing! My move seeing ness is so off kilter. I got kicked out of the kitchen at the cafe/diner type place I work because I hadn't seen Terminator.

I still have Titanic on VHS - you know where it's on three different tapes because it's such a GIGANTOR?

Nightswimming was the first bandom story I ever remember reading AND THEN IT JUST KEPT GOING. I thought it was never going to be done, but it's worth it ♥

[modillian.livejournal.com]

TITANIC. I had that on VHS too but sold it at a garage sale I believe. I don't think I've watched it in a long time either, but still so good. <3

Mmmmmm Nightswimming, so so very good.

WAIT. Jack dies?

I was 12 when it came out, I think? And I didn't cry until like the fourth time I saw it! Didn't cry at the theatre, didn't cry the first couple of times watching it at home on VHS. But that fourth time, I started bawling about halfway through the movie.

I know what you mean about real life events! I just saw "The Changeling" last night and the plotline was so fucked up, it was UNBELIEVABLE. But it was a true story and all the more horryfing for it!
