Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
I forget, did anyone post here the awesome analyses of archery that some competition archer did for Hunger Games and Avengers? Now I can't see any Avengers poster without critiquing Renner's stance.

I think you're off by about 9 decimal places in your estimate of how many people hate "My Heart Will Go On."
True dat. It makes me want to jab my eardrums with knitting needles.
You're among Friends Who Hate The Titanic Song here, Le Nub.
True dat. It makes me want to jab my eardrums with knitting needles.
That's pretty much true for ANY Celine Dion, IMO.
Once again I stand with the unwashed masses and say I rather like the song. I like what I like.
My main memory of seeing Titanic is of sitting alone in the TV studio at school the next day, editing some footage (I must have had an independent study or something that period), when That Song came on the radio, and I suddenly found myself tearing up copiously. And I was so mad, because I thought it was a terrible song! I felt so manipulated. And very glad that nobody else was there to see me crying.
I don't know why, but now when I get that song in my head, I almost immediately go to Grover ("near....far"), so it makes me laugh.
My main memories of seeing Titanic are:
Kate Winslet is a motherfucking toe-dancing, beer-swilling, orgasm-having, axe-wielding Gilded Age goddess; Leo DiCaprio is a perfectly adequate acolyte to her divinity; Victor Garber breaks my heart; old couple hugging and crying on their tiny bed in steerage break my heart again; Celine Dion is making sounds, but why?
old couple hugging and crying on their tiny bed in steerage break my heart again;
That's not in steerage. That's Isidor and Ida Strauss, in first class. They owned (or partially owned) Macy's. Isidor refused to get into a lifeboat while there were still women and children and younger men on board, and Ida refused to leave the ship without her husband.
And now they're breaking my heart *again* again. Curse you, Hil, and your soul-crushing facts!
