Ah, why are the best threads started when I am away?

Oh, Lash!! I LOVED 'Titanic'!!! All things 'Titanic'. I have posters, I have photos, I have a pair of sweatpants of Leos from when he was visiting a friend here in San Diego {yes, I am the person they called to give them to as he was never going to come back for them.....}. I thought it was a wonderful movie.

It was years prior that I was sitting in a doctors office and came across a National Geographic type magazine with photos from the actual ship. It has always touched me, fascinated me. So, so sad.

But, back to the movie, I loved the clothing, I loved everything {I really loved Molly Brown!!}. Back in the day, wow, I don't know how many times I saw the movie but I cried every time. My young son picked up singing the song as I always did. Aw, that is making me *sniffy* remembering him belting it out {he was about 4 at the time}. But, he hadn't ever actually seen the movie. So, this past vacation, I brought it with us and one night in San Simeon {by the ocean, no less!} we got cozy and watched it with him. He thought it was pretty good. {actually a good time for him, being 14, he is probably getting interested in girls and all things lovey dovey...}.

Crush on Leo? I love him! I saw a trailer for a new movie he set to star in with Russell Crowe. Gawd, yes, I do love him. He is one of my favorite actors. Favorite with the family as well. {except, of course, for that teenaged girl who got me into his movies....}.

*sigh* purging is good for the soul..........

Between this and MBC's earthquake thread I'm starting to wonder, Mousewife.

Yeah, and didn't we just miss...by days...a rendevous in Monterey?

LOL iSm, I think Rose is somewhere inbetween CP and myself. I have a bit of the Rubinesque {sp} thing going for me but CP has the youth and beauty.

And, yes, alphabassettgrrl, I also think Kate Winslet is beautiful. I love how they made her up in that movie, even though she is a thoroughly modern Millie. If I could look like someone, it would be her. {where are my 3 wishes??}

Oh, 'twood be wonderful to get a cast together!!!

I think I need a Stoat-English translating dictionary.

Not just to vex scaeagles, but I love the Titanic Musical. I think we should do LoT production, and figure out a way to insert the famous movie song that's never sung in that movie either. That means either Cadaverous Pallor or MouseWife will have to play Rose.

How we will decide gives nuance to the term Casting Couch.

JWBear · 07-29-2008, 02:41 PM

I'd make a good Captain Smith!

And NA has to be Maggie Brown.

innerSpaceman · 07-29-2008, 03:42 PM

Alas, I'd make a decent Ismay. But at least I get (part of) a good song.

TeeHee, I'm loving the idea of a mash-up of the various Titantics that we'd have to write as well as produce and star in. There's no Rose in the musical, but who else would sing the song that's not in either version?

Let's throw in the Barbara Stanwyck character and storyline, and some of the great officers from A Night to Remember. I'm thinking the heroic Lightoller rather than the sniveling version offered up in the Cameron version.

Oooh, this could be fun.

ETA: OMG, Lashbear, that sounds utterly incredibly fantastic! I wonder if it ever came to the States and, if so, how I possibly could have missed it!

JWBear · 07-29-2008, 03:47 PM

Yes, you would make a good Ismay. Who would be our Thomas Andrews?

(ETA: GD has the pornstache, and could play Ismay too. Just a thought!)

MouseWife · 07-29-2008, 04:03 PM

That experience would totally give me the chills!!!! So realistic!!! I would love to experience it, even if it would leave me shaken up. Didn't it leave you a bit shaken? Like you'd gone through it for real?

iSm~I know there was an exhibit of sorts in the states, I never made it to any.

I can't remember why. Could be that for a long time I did not have a reliable vehicle, not sure. At a time, going anywhere meant renting a car.

How about the movie that Cameron put out after? At the Imax?
