    I quite like Titanic, but re-releasing in 3D seems a bit weird. Does remastering in 3D work properly?
    Many years ago (around 25) I went to see Friday 13th in 3D which was quite funny, everyone sitting in their chairs with those paper glasses with 1 red and 1 green lens. I must say the swinging of the baseball bat and the eye popping out of the head did make me duck.

    Anyone remember 'Smellyvision'? Remember Polyester doing, IIRC, Pink Flamingos and a number came on the screen and you had a scratch and sniff card which had the relevant smells on it. You can guess what some of the smells were? Also, I wonder what the money shot is like in 3D?
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Going to watch thee 3D version next Saturday in Wells.

      That will be the 100th anniversary to the day and they're starting the film at around 11.30 pm so that the screen sinking is synchronized with the actual time she went down.

      Bit ghoulish really but the missus wants to go and the neighbours have Barry for the night so WTF.

        And, let's not forget, for the only time ever, Barnsley FC won the Cup...

          'Clive Cussler' deary me; I read a couple of his 'Dirk Pitt' books about 20 odd years ago, boy they are bad. Wilbur Smith is another one of the same ilk.

            Just watched Night to Remember.

            Very good film - much more multifaceted than the Cameron version and the effects, given that this was made in 1955, very impressive.

            I also have to say it was very moving. Particularly the scene in the lifeboats as they witnessed her go down.

              That is a very good movie.

              I went to see the Cameron version in the ol' flicks and it was a very impressive film, not a great film. Women were sobbing as it ended which is a sign that the film maker got his reaction. I was mostly impressed by the detail of recreating the ship for film.

                I reckon Cameron's film would have been better if he'd resisted the temptation to include all the modern stuff and the old lady, although I seem to be in a minority of one in that opinion.

                  It's interesting how many of the small details are common to both films. The maid being asked to put her vest on, the steward having a go at people for damaging the line's property, that bloke slipping into the lifeboat unnoticed.

                  There must have been hundreds of stories but perhaps only a few people made their stories public.

                    Although the best special effects were nicked from Nazi propaganda made years earlier, still you're right it was the better film
                    Doing the needful since 1827

                      If you cannot make a film with one of the greatest stories of modern times without embellishing it then maybe you just cannot tell the story. Hollywood I suppose.
