Where do I fit in, if I both saw AND enjoyed Titanic, but was embarassed about both of those facts, even at the time?
Well, you fit right here in this corner next to me...
Maybe I've always been here.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'll join you. I saw it three times in the theater.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I haven't seen it simply because I can't stand DiCrapio. Just seeing photos of him bugs the hell out of me. The only film I can stand seeing him in is The Quick and the Dead.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I saw Titanic and enjoyed it while I was watching it, and promptly forgot most of it after I left the theater. Except the parts that the media wouldn't let me forget.
I do remember Winslet's character doing a toestand to impress the rough men in steerage.

I thought DiCaprio was awfully good in The Aviator. Because I wasn't all that interested in the movie, and then I stumbled upon it and forgot to change channels. And yeah, Scorsese of course, but if DiCaprio didn't work, the movie wouldn't.

Hey. New board.
I liked Titanic when i first saw it with my family. I didn't like it about a month later, when every single girl I fantasized about in my high school was too busy fantasizing about Leo to give me any thought (not that they would have anyway, being a super-nerdy fourteen-year-old, but still).
Now, I think I would like it again, because I like Leonardo, and I love Kate, and I like pretty movies, and I enjoy cheesy teen angst. But I don't really want to spend 3 hours confirming that.

It's a good corner to be in. (Also, love your tagline, Aimee! The Cut Man!) I remember hearing That Song on the radio while I was alone in the TV studio at my high school a couple of days after seeing Titanic, and CRYING, and then being horrified that I was crying and desperately grateful that I was alone.

What's the British slang for this? Wet?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just saw the trailer for Crank. It pleases me to no end that they've concocted another plot for a film where Jason Statham appears shirtless.

Heh. I don't know, but I suspect that whatever the term is, it needs to be incorporated into my vocabulary.
