    Oh good, this gives me yet another excuse to make MILF go into Norn Iron mode. You know, in the name of history and stuff.

    Edit: I'm okay with big Irish hands for obvious related reasons.

    Hey, it looked pretty, didn't it? We all know that it's what's on the outside that counts, not what's on the inside. So if it floated and looked good, we did our job.

    What's funny is that if they made the bulkheads actually entirely water proof, it wouldn't have sunk.

    Or at least it would have sunk a lot slower.

    Ah ya see the problem with that is that on the whole Harland & Wolff refused to employ us Catholics so it was mostly built by MILFs crowd. If it was us that built it the exploding semtex would have melted da smurfin iceberg.


    True Dat.

    What is the topic of this thread anyway. I didn't see one in the first post.

    Say what you want about the film but it's still one of the most well crafted films ever made. The last hour is a massive achievement in practical and digital effects. Plus it's both respectful and faithful to the ship which is commendable.

    Not so much to the characters though, who seem to be either Mean Rich Person or Ethnic Stereotype.

    As a disaster movie and with the ship's sinking etc, Titanic does work very well.

    Speaking of cheesy James Cameron movies, I thought Avatar was okay.

    Me too. Obviously it was generic, and let down by the existence of Sam "I only have one facial expression" Worthington, but it was a perfectly decent sci-fi adaptation of Dances with Wolves.
