Titanic

[bless 'em all]

let's send Time Team down there...

Brilliant idea ... in a sub or just send 'em down anyway?

Watching summert from TPB from Disc channel, recent stuff, seems very American, you know 'She was on her Maiden Voyage, she was unsinkable, yet on that very.....'

Hope it's not the same guff, let's send Time Team down there...

It's over-dramatic Yank shiite, 'The Giant Stern heaves up into the night sky...' - bollocks, I want to know about the steel content of the rivets or stuff like that...

Did you know the Capt's Bath has three taps?

And The Band Played On

I remember seeing this film
years ago on TV.

Probably some made for TV effort as I can't see hide nor hair of it on the internet.

Was very enjoyable IIRC.

I don't know if anyone saw the BBC news this evening but they had a feature on that cruise ship retracing the voyage of RMS Titanic.

Among the passengers was a woman who had family members that were on board Titanic. They only went as far as Queenstown though. She was showing the photographs they'd taken during their time on board and, most poignantly, a shot of the ship leaving Queenstown - almost certainly the last shot of her to have been taken.

Moving stuff.

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.

I think it's more they don't want to remake something which has been done several times over, but add a new angle to it.
And maybe Cameron just wanted to include the diving stuff since he's into it

Actually, they probably won't as there was nobody black or LGBT prominently involved.
