Titanic Two

Starting this 1:35 in.

1:35 wow! nice starting point. Steamy windows and mostly naked people.

1:37 Not to make a gross generalization but Women have the most backasswards logic. It doesn't make any sense, that's how i know it's right.

1:39 a huge ship can't exactly make sharp turns.

1:40 That's one mean looking iceberg.

1:41 uhoh. lot o' water pouring in.

1:42 I would not want to be the poor guy stuck in the engine room filling with seawater while the doors closed.

1:44 Billy Zane still a jerk.

1:47 The dumbfounded looks on the Captain et al. when informed of the certainty of sinking is priceless.

1:51 Damn engineers! Going around telling people the ship will sink then saying not to panic.

1:52 Ehhhh. 1 hour until sinking + 4 hours until rescue + 28 degree water = bad situation.

1:54 Nice four piece band playing during the evacuation.

1:55 Let's lock the second class citizens into their area until we get the first class folks off first. so nice.

1:57 Kate "You unimaginable bastard!" I couldn't have said it better myself.

1:58 Alyssa has pretty much given up watching entirely at this point, too sad.

2:02 He's gotta be expecting to never see her again. "I'll just wait right here."

Did Leo do this before or after "Romeo and Juliet" a couple of "star crossed lovers" to be sure.

2:04 "Dahnuh, dahnuh, dahnuh, dahnuh." I want to see Jaws swimming around down there.

2:09 I like the mean looking point by Tommy. I'll find you bellhop dude.

2:11 nice MacGyver move there. Improvise.

2:11:56 "keep order I say!"

2:13 "Orpheus" was a nice touch there by the band.

2:15:35 I never liked that sissy.

2:17 Rose was a wee bit naive here. Of course my maniacal ex-fiancee has reserved a spot for the guy that I left him for 20 minutes ago.

2:19 Brings to mind the women who won't leave their abusive husbands. "But I love him." She just can't save herself.

2:20 Typically a bad idea to run below decks on a sinking ship, but I guess fleeing a gun wielding psychopath is the exception.

2:22 dumb kid sitting there freezing and screaming

2:22:40 Did we really need a slo-mo action shot of them fleeing? I guess so, it did win Best Picture.

2:25 I've never seen the benefit of shrieking shrilly in a high pressure, high anxiety situation. In what way did that help Jack to concentrate?

2:27 Fabricio's "Bastardo" has to rank pretty high on Simmons' Unintentional Comedy Scale.

2:28 Zane grabs somebody else's baby and pretends it is his own to sneak aboard a lifeboat. Alyssa's take; "F***ing D***"

2:30 Nice little Violin solo, showing some of the intricate detail that went into both the ship and the film.

2:32 according to Wikipedia, all members of the 8 piece orchestra died.

2:33 I would not have enjoyed being the manservant of the dude sipping the brandy as the water came up.

2:34:35 Actually Leo it would have been better for Rose to have gotten off on one of the many lifeboats she had the chance to board.

2:37 Gotta respect the steadfastness of the clergy. Seemingly performing Last Rites while the ship is sinking around him

2:40 I imagine a 200+ foot fall into freezing water would not be fun.

2:40:25 Now you show Rose's mom as a sympathetic figure? Oh please.

2:41 With her head hanging over the railing like that I was envisioning decapitation on impact.

2:43 Really great effects of all the people falling. I'd be so pissed if some jackhole knocked me off because he couldn't hold on.

2:44 Wow, for a street artist Jack sure knows a lot about the physics of a sinking ship.

2:46 Impressive leverage on those punches!

2:46:45 is it rude to say her squirming onto the floating door reminded me of a beached whale?

2:48 Nice try Kathy. A much higher percentage of British died in the sinking, possibly due to the sense of chivalry still embraced by the majority of upper class British males at this time. Not really represented in the movie though.

2:53 Kind of a Zombie feel to the rowing through the frozen, floating, corpses.

2:55 The disc chooses this moment to start screwing up.

2:55 It's okay.

2:57 And....Rescue!!!

2:58 Bearded Scientist Sidekick Guy makes strong appearance. Stroking beard while old lady pronounces judgement on the lifeboats that didn't come back.

2:59 I feel like this music makes more sense in "Braveheart" than in "Titanic"

3:00 Keep walking Billy Zane, Keep walking.

3:02 So who got the necklace, did she have it in her coat or what?

3:03 Strong Bill Paxton, Strong.

3:04 Ohhhh, old lady had it all along. That was stupid.

3:07 Alyssa "another pretty dress"*

*alright, I said it not her. She did say the rest of them though.

And Scene.
