Titanic: Love it or hate it ?

Oh, ism, you are mistaken. Not badly mistaken, just mistaken. I love the history but I'd take a National Geographic article over the movie any day. As far as the film goes, I enjoyed the ancillary characters and the effects, but I didn't care for the love story. I would have rather the plot focused more generally on the characters, rather than spending so much time with just one couple. I enjoyed the Unsinkable Molly Brown much more.

When it comes to movies, he's heard that before.

I really REALLY hated the film. Leo was painful to watch and the movie was so pretentious and absolutely endless. I remember Mr. Swanie leaning over to me and saying "Will he just die already?"

On a side note...my ex-uncle was in the film, so at least that made me giggle every time he was on screen. I'm thinking he wasn't in there for comic relief...but it worked for me.

Am I the only one that's never seen it?

A woman after my own heart.

Titanic was a never-ending bore.
