Are you off your rocker? Yeah, I guess it is rhetorical question.

Just watched Titanic for the first time as an adult and man do I have some new takeaways from all that.
First off, great movie. FANTASTIC actually.
But then there’s this Rose lady.
Just awful.
First off Bill Paxton has been spending YEARS of his life trying to find this diamond. Dudes got an entire operation and business dedicated to it.
He invites Rose to stay on his ship, puts her AND her daughter up, and thoroughly explains what he has been doing and how important finding the diamond is to him.
Not only does Rose have the diamond in her possession and not say SHIT, she also decides to bore the entire crew with this long ass two day story about how she scored with this random dude one weekend 80 years ago behind her fiancé’s back.
Oh then after they listen to the whole fuckin story, she throws the diamond in the water then goes ahead and dies on this poor fuck’s boat.
Nice gal.
Oh THEN, when she goes to heaven she is reunited with that random dude she shacked up with in a Model T one weekend 80 years ago and not her actual HUSBAND?!
Ya know, the guy that was there for her for her entire adult life, raised children with her, and had grandkids with all while she hid this wild and freaky time she hooked up with this guy on a highly publicized cruise ship that killed 1500 people then left that same guy she cheated on her fiancé with to freeze to death while she sang a stupid song on a fuckin floating door big enough for two?
Yeah that guy.
Rose DeWitt Bukater.
Biggest villain in any movie of all time.

I’ve never seen it and never will.

I heard it's boring, but to each her own.

I was obsessed with the Titanic as a kid. They found it when I was little and one of my earliest memories was devouring everything I could find about it including the National Geographic coverage. Then that bullshit movie came out when I was in high school and I personally boycotted it because it was a just a giant money grab off a major tragedy that had always been kind of sacred to me. So I’ve gone this long without seeing it, don’t see any reason to change my mind now.

I knew the ship was going to sink, so I didn't bother with the movie.
Sorry for the lack of spoiler alert, but the thing sank over 110 years ago.

Erik Estrada about to fuck up some Japanese carriers.

Chuck Heston has 9 minutes to find the 4th and final Japanese carrier. Henry Fonda wants that carrier to Hal Holbrooke's consternation.

He did it, but he could not stick the landing on his way back unfortunately.
