Hi to all... Just finished watchin Titanic 2.. Wondering how many of yall seen it? Did you like it better than the 1st?? I personally loved the first one. It one of my fave top 5. Titanic 2 did really get as much of my attention than the 1st. Two jus wasnt such as great movie. They would have done way better, but still cant beat the 1st Titanic..
Titanic 2? As in, a sequel to the James Cameron movie? How can you make a sequel out of that? It sunk, end of story. Or, is this a completely unrelated version?
lol alicia I just clicked on this thread to say the same thing.
So what did they do - bring them all back from the dead?
Yeah, maybe the original movie was played backwards so it looked like this great ship rose up from the bottom of the ocean and people climbed on board and started partying.
Lol! haha..
At first I thought she meant Titanic 2 as in the fact it's going to be rereleased next year cause of the 100 years in 2012 when it sunk..then I realized that it isn't being rereleased in to theaters until next year lol..
Ok, for those of you who are wondering, here is a plot summary of this movie:
A young woman obsessed with "Titanic" (and identifying a bit too much with the heroine of that film) gets to play her fantasy to the hilt when she meets a free-spirited but penniless young man who works as a janitor at a Titanic artifact exhibit. But life has a way of not quite working out the way it does in Hollywood blockbusters...
And for those of you who actually have taste in movies, here's another plot summary.
Really really stupid, do not watch.
And there you have it, titanic Two, in a nutshell.
I only knew of the movie through a friend. So i went on netflix & there it was.. Its nothing compared to the first one... This guy own the Titanic 2, but like the other one it sinks; it was supposely better & stronger than the first Titanic, all these ppl of course die, they use choppers instead of boats.. Idk, but if you wanna check it out look on netflix...
I never saw the original Titanic. I was told by a few fellow guardians out here it was more of a love story, not very realistic as to what really did happen.
We still study what went wrong on the Titanic today because it's a story of arrogance, indolence (the neighboring ship's radio man shut off his radio and went to sleep) and a very disorganized effort.
Nobody on the Titanic needed to die, and the things that could have been done to save them all were so common sense any one of you who thinks you don't know about rescues would have done all of them, and everyone would have survived.
Half the number of life boats, improper lookouts, people not maintaining their watch.
The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy, but a worse one would be if people get a Hollywood image rather than the historical reality of what actually happened. On a much smaller scale, people make many of these mistakes all the time over and over again, and that definitely includes people who saw that movie and then hit the water unprepared.
It wasn't a natural incident: it was human-caused and entirely avoidable.
Sorry for hijacking this thread: I've kinda got an earful about all this in recent months, and see their point.
First of all, thanks for the laugh, Becky and Cody. Awesome posts, both.
Leo, I understand your rant. I have seen the Titanic movie, and yes, it was more love story than anything. But it didn't avoid the historical components entirely. It still made it clear that the sinking and loss of life was due to human arrogance and error. I was only about 16, but the Monday after I saw it, and heard a girl at school say she bawled her eyes out, "when Leo died," I about smacked her right there in the middle of the hallway. I cried too, but more from scenes like the dead mother floating in the water still holding her dead infant. Approximately 1,500 people died who did not have to, and some idiot is crying because Leo died? Give me a break.
As for this other movie, I'm still confused as to what it is, but that's okay. I have no desire to see it anyway.
Lol Sister dawn..I totally agree with you!! I cried when I saw the dead people in the water to..I researched Titanic for a school project to show that it was different than the hollywood stuff.
oh guys!!!! titanic was a laughable movie. Despite bill paxton, who is one of the sexiest men alive, being the guy with the submersible, itwas totally lame and unrealistic. we have rose running around a ffreezing cold ship and diving in and out of the water to save "jaaaaaack jaaaaaack!!!" why didn't she scream when she dove in to that freezing cold water? how could she swim in a long dress? why didn't she shiver when running around chasing "jaaaaaack jaaaaaack?" totally unrealistic. i have fallen in to liquid ice, which is what atlantic waters were at that time of year. it is damn cold. you feel like you are being stabbed everywhere at once. you totally spaz out because of the cold and die very quickly of hypothermia and/or heart failure. sorry to be a kill joy. oh yes and one more thing. my 10 year old son said the following "mom, you know jack and rose had unprotected sex right? so there was a good chance she got pregnant. how did she think that self absorbed young man would react when she started carrying around a watermellon and her anchles swelled up like balloons?"
Oh yes, the movie is very lame and unrealistic, in all those practical senses. You're not being a kill-joy. Anyone with common sense knows it. I just got mad at the girl who cried because some actor, well, acted like he died. Ugh. I will say the thing had a pretty cool sound track though.
I absolutely refuse to watch that movie. And while I have nothing against Celine Dion as a musician (she has talent and I do respect that), that song got on my nerves and still does. And of course even when they're making a movie based on something that actually happened, Hollywood has to screw it up to make it cooler. Granted Ron Howard did a commendable job retelling the story of Apollo 13. Even Jim Lovell himself has expressed that opinion. But more often than not Hollywood has this urge to change things to make it less accurate and more flashy and splashy. I'll say this much, if I was some celebrity and some Hollywood director wanted to make a movie abot my life or about someting I did or was involved in, you can bet I'd be on their asses to be accurate and not try to spice it up with meaningless crap that never actually happened. And if they were going to make a sequel the way they supposedly have with TItanic my response would be hell no. The story is over.
@Turricane great description of the effects of cold water. Now if we can get some of these people on the water to believe you.
