The real life affair was a true tragedy which can only be blamed on the cockiness of mankind. The movie was a significant and defining moment in my girlhood. That movie was clearly made for the 12 year old girl who would soon begin her LOI process and who was seeking depth, seeking to discover who she was and what she wanted out of the world around her. Because that's who I was at the time and it was just the thing for me.

As horrible as the dialogue and as crappy as the acting was, the rest of it had a lasting impact on my development. I haven't seen it since I was 13, it sort of got left behind in the shuffle and turmoil of that time, so I really want to go see it in the theater, netflix's copy is broken or something so I still haven't seen it, I want to go see it at the theater even though I loathe 3D, I'm willing to fork over the extra cash though to encounter the experience of connection and reflection on where I've been and where I'm going.

Doesn't fit with the tone of this thread at all, kind of a snarky thread, but I'm feeling truthsome, just finished listening to my Titanic soundtracks, I have both of them.

I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

It was a trade magazine, as I heard it, that declared her 'unsinkable', not the White Star Company, or the builders themselves. But it was because of that accident, that we learned from our mistakes.

It's a bit like evolution. Hell yes, we'll keep striving, because that's how we, and all life, are programmed.
