and that right there is why the movie made so much damn money. It was not only a chick flick, but it was a disaster/action pic the last half with probably the director who owns the top slot of his generation for providing sheer spectacle and special effects innovation. In other words, the movie had something for EVERYONE. Love story for the women, Leo for the little girls, death, mayhem and destruction along with incredible special effects for the men and just sheer cinematic awe for cinephiles. Everything about that movie was grand, from the meticulous sets, to the music to effects, even to the freaking running time.

As far as it being a terribly written movie... well, I gotta say I heavily disagree. I don't necessarily love the story or think the screenplay is the second coming of anything, but it pushes the story along pretty well and for a movie that runs 3 hours, it doesn't drag for a minute. And casting Kate Winslett because she's a "normal looking woman"? Yeah, I gotta disagree there as well, and I'm thinking most people would. She's gorgeous. A true natural beauty IMO. Unless you mean normal as in "not skin to the bone" hot like some girls in the Wood, but still, I'd never call Kate Winslett "normal".

I got three words as to why Titanic made so much dough:

Kate
Winslett
Naked

At the risk of getting into yet another epic argument with you--I meant normal in that she IS a true natural beauty--which to me is more normal than surgically enhanced women like Jessica Alba.

I just saw the Dark Knight and given the hype it was pretty overrated. It was fun, but not memorable. JMHO. I'll take the Spiderman series over this anyday.

why would I get into an epic argument with someone who just agreed with me that she's a natural beauty? I simply misunderstood what you meant by "normal". my bad.

What exactly is surgically enhanced about Jessica Alba? Oh and Jessica Alba is only 1000x hotter than Winslett will ever be!

God I hated that movie! I cheared when Leo sank to his death and then cryed when the old lady chucked the necklace. Winslett naked was the only thing I truely enjoyed about that movie.
