It's interesting to see how one man's gold is another man's garbage. I agree with a lot of the comments posted, but disagree with a lot of them, too.
I liked A NIGHT TO REMEMBER much more than TITANIC, though I understand why teenage girls saw the latter multiple times. What I =don't= understand is Hollywood's lack of interest in my screenplay, TITANIC--THE NEW VOYAGES.:confused:

I also watched it on the first and only cruise that I've been on (they showed it in the ship's theater).

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Actually the first time I saw it I loved it. I think it was 97. I saw it again last month on HBO and for me, it was like watching a different movie.

Rose was only marrying Cal for his money. I believe the practice of women deceiving men into thinking they love them for financial gain was referred to back then as golddigging. She was hardly blameless in the demise of the relationship. I somehow doubt getting her freak on with the boys in steerage would have been a Dr. Phil approved relationship saving technique back in 1912.
And welcome to the forum Sick Thing, judging from your previous posts you're a real horror afficenado! Good to have you onboard.

Thank you, Ccosborne3. You don't happen to be a producer, by any chance...?

I didn't really care for the actor who played Jack. The costuming was wonderful. The mother was the actual villain.

Allright, I'll give in. Rose had a great rack.
Still possible that they were phonies though. I wouldn't put it past her.
