Should I watch Titanic?

[buffcoat]

I have managed to miss this movie for 13 years now.  I DVRed the TCM premiere of it last night.

It's a lot of time to give for one movie, but I do feel a bit left out having never seen it.  I hate that song.


Is it good enough to watch, given the time allotment?  You guys were totally right about Once Upon a Time in America, that was not so good.

Have you seen every other movie that is or could potentially be on your wishlist? If so, go ahead.

I haven't seen it either, but you should read the 33 1/3 book about Celine Dion.  I'm serious, it's great.

It was less depressing than Up in the Air.

[Smelodies]

Dumber than Avatar, but the visuals are undeniably good, especially during the sinking. Move your bathtub to the front of the HD screen for a more visceral experience.

The only reason I saw it was so I could more accurately argue about how stupid it was.

I suggest RiffTrax-ing it.

Just watch the sinking part.  The sinking part is AWESOME!

oooo, now that, I'd do. Buff that might be the way to go. There's no real point in listening to the moronic script.

This thread should be named what ever the opposite of 'Embarrassing Confessions' is. You held out, congratulations. My suggestion is, fold laundry and then vacuum ... do useful stuff right up until the boat sinks ... then return to what ever work you may have been putting off. Also, now I have to find the 33 1/3 book about Celine Dion that may or may not exist. Thank you JG.

It exists.  I read a great review about it. 

I didn't want to believe the review.

I didn't read the book.

I've never seen it, but I'm thinking about pursuing this as an option.

Now I just need to wait for the Avatar Rifftrax.

. My suggestion is, fold laundry and then vacuum ... do useful stuff right up until the boat sinks ... then return to what ever work you may have been putting off.

I agree with this. Go do something useful until the sinking part.

It really is a terrible movie- I watched it myself for the first time last year.

The fact that you're asking is indication of what the very best to expect is.


I wouldn't waste the time. It's a lot of overacting and transparent heartstring tuggery.

[Martin]

Never seen it.
