    Just finished watching Titanic [the movie]

    Jack & Rose <3

    Have always had a fascination with the ship and the stories around it, and the whole film makes me cry from the moment the band start playing 'Nearer my God to thee' the tissues have to come out! :o

    It's just kinda getting me down, I've gained weight lately and I hate it :(

    Yeah sort of. You explore the books and get loads of new info. You get sorted and there's stuff to do to get house points as well.

    I've really messed up this time! Absolutely ruined a good thing I had going! All because of my stupid insecurities! I just don't know what to do! Crying for the last two hours on end haven't helped! It's not even Monday and I just know this is going to be the worst week of my life! Ever! I'm such a jack ass! I think I actually have a self destruct button and like to hit it when things begin to go right for me just so I have something to mope about! I cannot thing of any other explanation for my actions today! I'm a pr*ck! End of!

    And that's what made me sad today!

    I love the film, but only because of the love it gave me for the ship itself! I can still remember being 6/7 and being so fascinated by the film! But, as I have said before, why make up stupid unrealistic love stories when the real stories are so much better?! I just don't get it. And it's why I've been searching fro ages to get a copy of A Night to Remember because I know that that really is the proper true story!

    I wouldnt mind seeing Titanic in the cinema again but not in 3D, its a gimmick, the movie is flawed, Billy Zane is one of the worst villains ever, he just needs a moustache to twiddle with all his evilness, and the Oirish dancing is cringeworthy but its still a spectacle.

    That makes me sad!

    +1 on the real story! I want the real horrific story to come out, one of the survivors wrote a book about their experience.. can you believe that the lower classes got locked in below while the ship was sinking so the rich people 1st class people were saved first.

    Women and children first...pfffft! :rolleyes: More like rich people first and then whoever escapes the prisons below :mad:

    I seen that too today, on BBC2. Thought it was really good. Fair play to them for the special effects, considering it was 1958.


    Hope you're okay LostGirly. xxxxx

    OMG! Titanic is like, sumthing wat actually happened? Is it not just a movie?! :eek:
    :rolleyes:

    I still find it unreal that they were so convinced the ship was 'unsinkable' that there weren't enough lifeboats left for around 1,000 people. Baffling!

    I only just learned about the SS Californian today. Could they seriously have saved the passengers?! That is unreal. They must have felt pretty bad afterwards if that is the case. :mad:

    Titanic was never called unsinkable by it's owners/builders/etc. That was a name given to it after the sinking.

    The reason they didn't have more lifeboats was because basically they didn't legally need anymore (people still do similar today remember!) and didn't expect the ship to sink so soon and for it to happen so quickly.
