I had the misfortune of seeing this show. It wasn't just bad, it was horrifically abysmal and quite possibly the worst thing I have ever seen on stage, and that includes my daughters 4th grade recorder concert.

Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting EH1812 was a fan of the movie, but I thought she was interested in the actual history.

Titantic is the name of the ship, btw, and not just two of the movies about it. (The Barbara Stanwyck Titantic is likely the worst of the bunch)

Just as everybody was Woodstock (and yet the machinery of society continued to function) and just as nobody voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984 (and yet he somehow won in a landslide), nobody liked Titanic at the time (and yet it made $600 million and exit surveys showed strongly positive reactions across demographic groups).

Like I said, I was lukewarm about it, but enough of a Titantic enthusiast to see it four times with paid admission. Imagine if I'd had a boy-crush on Leo DiCaprio??

Even the nekked boobies wasn't enough to save it.

I remember the first time I saw Titanic it got to the part where the iceberg hits the ship.... and then the fire alarm went off in the theatre and we had to evacuate.

So then I had to come back to watch all the boring parts again lol... tho I suppose I could have just walked in, on another day, 2 hours late.

Wow.... You all have been busy since I last posted!

The movie is much more watchable if you fast forward through all the Jack and Rose crap. (And shorter, too!)

Anybody else here been to Encyclopedia Titanica?

I did see the movie. Wasn't that enthralled by it. What I was referring to as the stinker beyond stinkers was the stage play.
