Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Titanic.
The hype here was insane, when I finally saw it the experience was… underwhelming. Such a boring slog of a movie, mediocre CGI when disaster finally struck and that stupid end… Get on the piece of wood that is obviously big enough to hold you both, you dolt.
Only upside is that I watched it on TV, so apart from some hours of my life I’ll never get back it didn’t cost me anything.
The explanation about the door is that it wasn’t about the size, it was about the buoyancy. If they both got on it then they both would’ve sunk
It wasn’t about size or buoyancy, it’s about the plot. Jack had to die, and that was the prop they had.
If you wanna retcon an explanation onto it, I’d say its about stability. They’d both be kept afloat, but they’d get wet.
I didn’t retcon anything, I knew it, and I googled it to confirm before i posted. Cameron has said this himself. Mythbusters even tested it and showed that unless they did a trick with the life jacket then they both would’ve drowned if they both tried to stay on the door
Right, that was my first point. It is whatever the plot said it is. Reality be damned. If James Cameron says it’d stink if they both got on, then it would. They never say or show this in the movie, though, so it’s a retcon.
Myth busters never showed that it’d sink at full scale, just that two people couldn’t stay on it and stay dry at the same time. It could keep them from drowning, just not from getting hypothermic.
I think Titanic would have been a better film if they had cast someone other than Leo DiCaprio.
I have no desire to ever watch it. The romantic fantasy doesn’t work for me as a straight man. I’m not attractive enough for some rich, hot woman to take an interest. Even the hot, male love interest dies in the end, but like Bill Burr said, I’d be the guy ricocheting off of the propeller as the ship breaks up.
Dad dragged me with him to see it in the cinema, saw it once, but never again, it is a well shot and acted film, but I never enjoyed the romance plot.
The sinking in the film was more like a subplot that suddenly grabbed focus in the later half of the film, only to have the romantic plot wrench the focus back and then have a continous fight which plot was more important
