Didn't remind me at all of bison shit, which (based on the name) was a pleasant surprise.

30 The frozen passenger corpsicles bob gently in the water, their life's heat sucked relentlessly from them by the frigid sea . . .

A gigantic hand descends from above, scooping hundreds of dead up, up, out of their watery grave.

Rescuers, shocked by the sight, are nearly driven to madness by the next sounds they hear . . .

The tinkle of ice hitting glass . . .

The pouring sound of what those still clinging to sanity surmise must be at least 12 year old Irish Whiskey. . .

And a low, satisfied chuckle . . . followed by a sip.

Yes. I was at an industry function, and they had their top-shelf booze open. I drank a lot of Buffalo Trace Bourbon. Loved it. BTW, wifey drove home that night.

Hey, I LOVE Titanic. Leo's best performance. When he suffers a horrible death from hypothermia and Rose cries out "I'll never let you go" before flinging his frozen body off the raft.......that's quality entertainment for the whole family.

50 I loved Titanic. The ship was the real star of the movie as far as I was concerned.

It was practically pr0n for Titanic buffs.

Then there was also Kate Winslet, which was pr0n for normal people.

The wife had her sister over to watch the DVD when it first came out. I didn't see it, but I caught the end when I came into the room. I backed it up at least a half dozen times to watch that prick die an icy death. The wife says I thought you weren't interested in the movie? I said I'm not, fuck the movie, but this part was good. lol

This is a good one, but as you see it is only available in the full screen format. I have it on video disk in wide screen so it beats the H out of me why the DVD is not available in WS or Bluray.

She "feels" good but I am sure she would like to be able to eat. Especially on days like today. I think the medical stuff is abated for at least a while. She got some hearing aids this past week. We think the mega-doses of radiation really degraded her hearing.

76 There was a Titanic TV movie in the mid 90s which was pretty forgettable. It had George C. Scott as Captain Smith. He's a good actor, but there was a bizarre scene where he delivered a sermon like a preacher. It had no basis in history or fact.

But it was also the first time I ever saw or heard of Catherine Zeta Jones. She was bewitching. Those eyes...

This summer I was privileged to go on the Coral Reef Sailing adventure at BSA's Florida Sea Base. One of the Scouts in our crew did a hilarious impression of Rose from "Titanic" feebly blowing a whistle so she'd be rescued. We were rolling on the decks, laughing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you morons!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is easily my favorite Thanksgiving movie. The language at times is far from being family friendly, but John Candy is outstanding in his role as the shower curtain rings' salesman. I really miss him.

89 This is my first TG with no guests. Me the mrs and kids will go to a restaurant for a feast in a few hours. No dishes after. No need to clean the house for the guests. It's very relaxing. I think this May be the start of a new tradition at Moo's house.

91 So agree about Titanic being porn for history lovers ... oh, never mind the stupid plot and the stupider (and historically inaccurate) main characters ... just give us the background sets, baby! Ohh, some more of the First Class Dining Room ... and the Boat Deck promenade. Oh, yes ... yes, yes!

The set was all so gorgeous ... really, watching it all - and seeing how solid and beautiful the ship itself was, I could see how people would have been reluctant at first to get into the lifeboats.

What - you mean all this is going to sink into the cold Atlantic? No - you can't be serious!
