But I strongly disagree that people who don't like it haven't seen it. Or are just being needlessly snobbish.
That's not what he said, though. He's saying people who don't see it are being needlessly snobbish.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The captain was good too (though I space on the actor).
That would be THEODEN KING! Bernard Hill.

Ha! You must have beamed the name "Bernard" to me, but I kept thinking "Bernard Lee" and I knew that was wrong.
Side question - was it Bernard Hill in BELLMAN & TRUE (a nifty British crime movie)?

Because books.
I liked Titanic because it was so fricking pretty. The details of the boat, and the clothing, and all of it were so loving.
Then the thing hit the iceberg and I was kind of freaked out by how sad and terrifying it must have been when it really happened.
Jack and Rose didn't affect me one way or the other, although I liked the fact that Rose survived, and survived to live a life full of adventure and curiosity, on her own terms.
Also, Kate Winslet is very pretty.
The captain was good too (though I space on the actor).
The ... father/king in LotR. The one who was cursed, and then got uncursed. Sheesh, how did all the names slip away after seeing all three movies a zillion times?

Always Anti-fascist!
I really didn't like it. Though not with...say, Pretty Woman hatred. I think part of it is, that there are some movies their fans take to so deep that if you don't like them, it's like there's a rock where your heart should be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Mention “Titanic” to educated, cultured folk and there’s a good chance you’ll be met with condescending sniffs and, if you’re lucky, a defiant declaration that they’ve never seen it, accompanied by a proud refusal to even brook the notion.
That's not what he said, though. He's saying people who don't see it are being needlessly snobbish.
Well...no. He said educated, cultured folks condescend about it and if you are lucky they haven't even seen it, whatever sense that makes.

Ah, there's one I can say, "I've never seen it (sniff)."
Though it provided amusing fodder for Anne Magnuson, so it had some (verra) small reason for it's existence.

He's condescending to all the people who have condescended to him about the movie. It's like a condescension SMACKDOWN! To hear his side, anyway.

Ann, that's a ferret.

How about with Pretty Maids All in a Row puzzlement?
