    I saw that movie with my dad, who spent years reading about the Titanic because he took an interest in it for some reason.

    I’m not sure which one of us hated that movie more.

    I’m glad that people are looking back on it these days and realizing it was just not a good movie.

    If you want to see a good Titanic movie, check out A Night to Remember, made in the UK in 1958. Sure, it won’t have the dazzling special effects. It also doesn’t have a stupid as fuck plot.

      I don’t understand how either of you would be upset watching the movie. The rich girl slept with a homeless guy, and then she let him drown.

      It’s movie magic

      Did it have a dude bouncing off a propeller while emitting the Wilhelm Scream? I didn’t think so.

        True, but I was not a nerd on the topic. I just thought it was stupid to shoehorn a boring forbidden love subplot into a movie about the most famous fucking ship sinking of all time as if that alone wasn’t dramatic enough.
