  1. The only thing that dragged on more than the coverage given to this story was the movie Titanic!

  2.  @sci-fi.tsunami  You’re right, it’s not my thing, but even with it not being my thing, the overkill coverage of this was a little off. If we focused half as much on sinking migrant boats full of poor people as we do on entitled rich sods scratching a dangerous and foolish itch, this world might be a better place.

  4.  @PaxBritannica34563  For me, it’s not the fact it was a “chick flick” (it’s not really btw), it was the fact that the script was a dire sludgefest. Tedious and lifeless. The technical aspects re. the ship were excellent, though. Don’t knock chick flicks btw; some of my favourite films are bona-fide chick flicks: Bridesmaids; Clueless; Legally Blonde; Bridget Jones’ Diary; When Harry Met Sally etc. I say all this as someone whose favourite film genre is the Western.

  5.  @PaxBritannica34563  It’s not a “chick flick” in the conventional sense, man. Moreover, almost as many men as women dug it which isn’t the case with regular chick flicks. The fictional romance at the heart of Titanic has prompted some to dub it a “chick flick,” but the 1998 Gallup poll found men (56%) nearly as likely as women (60%) to watch it.
