This was incredibly charming, and this old married lady wishes you and your young man a million more years of weird fun.

2021-09-08 06:47:57 +0000 UTCI don't know how she'd react to Una O'Connor's screeching though! :)
Paul Johnson
2021-09-08 04:19:57 +0000 UTCNo, but I can imagine George C. Scott as a German investigator, pursuing suspicions that a saboteur might have planted a bomb on board, with an entire shipload of suspicious whodunit suspects. Probably because I already have it on disk.

2021-09-07 18:20:34 +0000 UTCIt got made back in 1975 -- and, amazingly, they used a shot from it in something Ashleigh's already seen: "Raiders of the Lost Ark". :-P

2021-09-07 17:45:11 +0000 UTCWhen is the Hindenburg movie coming out!? Can you imagine a love story on a blimp that exploded!!?
Brett Delbridge
2021-09-07 05:00:42 +0000 UTCAshleigh would LOVE that version of "The Invisible Man". :-D Claude Rains's giggling!

2021-09-07 04:01:23 +0000 UTCI have zero problems with disaster movies and such, my issue with this one was it wasn't a disaster movie so much as a basic love story using a real disaster as a backdrop. That aspect made me feel it was disrespectful.

2021-09-07 02:33:35 +0000 UTCReminds me of my dad....whenever I said "go ahead" to him he would say "Who are you calling goat head?" :)
Paul Johnson
2021-09-07 02:10:52 +0000 UTCI thought it was OK...I just didn't go crazy for it like so many people did when it came out
Paul Johnson
2021-09-07 02:06:24 +0000 UTCIt came in at the end of the 90's craze for Disaster movies, at the point the genre usually starts doing historical disasters, to "legitimize" themselves: Back in the 70's, Earthquake/Poseidon disaster movies gave way to 1976's "The Hindenburg", which is actually a pretty darn good overlooked 70's picture. As for Michael Bay trying to remake Titanic into Pearl Harbor, though, yes, that was unforgivable, but not necessarily for THAT reason.
Eric Janssen
2021-09-07 00:26:35 +0000 UTCBeen saying for a while now The Longest Yard would be a great pick for more Burt Reynolds.
Kenton Kruger
2021-09-07 00:02:16 +0000 UTCGloria Stuart who played Old Rose played the love interest of Claude Rains in 1933's "The Invisible Man"...she was 87 at the time of the film's release but did live to the age of 100
Paul Johnson
2021-09-06 22:28:53 +0000 UTCWhen we're talking "Maritime set movies with Billy Zane as the bad guy" I prefer "Dead Calm"
Paul Johnson
2021-09-06 21:08:56 +0000 UTCLet me preface this by saying I've got a lot of negative feelings about this movie. Personally, I hate it. I hated it without even seeing it because I hate the very premise of making a movie about a historical disaster that has such a negative conclusion. It's the same reason I've never seen Pearl Harbor either. Why would anyone watch a movie that anyone with a history book knows will end in absolute tragedy? Anyway, after everyone in the media fell all over themselves telling everyone to watch Titanic, I decided this would be one of my hills that I'd be willing to die on, and refused to ever watch it. It's unfortunate that it's taking up two weeks worth of episodes, but I'll meet you all for the other movies. ✌️

2021-09-06 20:35:59 +0000 UTCJames Cameron seemed determined to have someone--preferably someone old, white, male and rich--to BLAME for the Titanic going down. (Oh, did we mention, girls can go up en pointe?) So determined, in fact, it backfires, and we're ready to believe it WAS simply an accident of poor ship structure, overloading and North Atlantic icebergs...Unless we want to believe that it really was all Jack & Rose's fault, for distracting the night watch.
Eric Janssen
2021-09-06 18:56:47 +0000 UTCI remember when we couldn't even remember the NAME of baddie Billy Zane's character--Whenever we talked about the movie, we just referred to "Snidely Whiplash". (Er, that's a cartoon reference, Ash.)
Eric Janssen
2021-09-06 18:53:35 +0000 UTCThis is one way of getting me to sit through Titanic again 🤣🤣🤣
Stevilicious
2021-09-06 17:18:53 +0000 UTCPlease check out another James Cameron movie that’s a companion piece to Titanic called “Ghosts of the Abyss”. It was Cameron’s trip back to see the Titanic.
Christopher
2021-09-06 14:34:40 +0000 UTCYou two make such a great 'team'! Love the review and already looking forward to next week.
Reba Pieczynski
2021-09-06 13:28:35 +0000 UTCHubben is right - Catch Me If You Can is fantastic! That would be a really fun watch.
Kate Cassidy
2021-09-06 12:05:57 +0000 UTCOmg!!!!!!!!! You two are so funny together 😂😂😂😂😂

2021-09-06 04:23:05 +0000 UTCMy dad used to say it meant your head was shaped like a melon with the face of a collie.

2021-09-06 00:02:58 +0000 UTCThat's my birthday, too. Turned 65 this year.
Bill Bevins
2021-09-06 00:01:45 +0000 UTCThe 14th April is my birthday, I loved this 1st part of your reaction, looking forward to part 2. And I'm really excited for your Kill Bill reaction. 😁👍

2021-09-05 21:27:57 +0000 UTCGotta be honest, I hated this movie. 45 minutes in, I started glancing at my watch. An hour and a half in, I was falling asleep, and would have if my girlfriend hadn't kept shaking me awake. I still give you and hubby some love, though. :)
Michael Sailor
2021-09-05 20:18:37 +0000 UTCYou should see Kill Bill Vol 2 after Vol 1, because it explains Kill Bill Vol 1.
Michael Waldrep
2021-09-05 19:43:49 +0000 UTCDoes this mean my assumption that next week will be 2 2-Parters between "The Titanic" and "Kill Bill Vol 2"?!?
James Falato
2021-09-05 19:42:55 +0000 UTC😂😂😂
Ashleigh Burton
2021-09-05 19:27:06 +0000 UTCthis was DEFINITELY another Happy Accident 😂😂
Ashleigh Burton
2021-09-05 19:26:30 +0000 UTCI think “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” should be on your list to watch!
Michelle Denny
2021-09-05 18:28:44 +0000 UTCThe reason why they don't like Kathy Bates character is that she didn't work for the money. In real life Molly Brown's husband became super rich from digging for gold in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
Keith Boyd
2021-09-05 18:10:10 +0000 UTCFootball season is starting next week. How about a football movie? The Longest Yard would be good. Burt Reynolds version. Other good ones are North Dallas Forty, Remember the Titan, and Friday Night Lights.
Bill Bevins
2021-09-05 18:07:40 +0000 UTCA Geraldo reference in two movies in a row. Never thought that would happen. Dolphins do follow ships. We've gone out whalewatching and dolphins liked to "surf" in the wake of the ship. Melancholy means sad, not head shaped like a melon with a face of a collie. Talking about the one-legged prostitute, her name was Eileen. Looking forward to part 2.
Bill Bevins
2021-09-05 18:03:09 +0000 UTCyour hair is similar to Rose's, you should curl it and do it like hers and surprise him
William
2021-09-05 17:50:02 +0000 UTCThere was an elderly gentleman in my neighborhood, who saw the Titanic being built in Belfast when he was a child. When news of the sinking arrived at the shipyards, the entire community mourned the loss of a ship they built.
Richard Meyer
2021-09-05 17:47:15 +0000 UTCI literally just screamed when she said Kill Bill is on Friday... yes!!! Loving the Titanic reaction so far... I hate to admit that I remember the double vhs edition...lol. And we are ALL Kathy Bates right along with you. No question.
Rebecca Monk
2021-09-05 17:43:39 +0000 UTCOo, can’t wait for you to watch “Kill Bill”!

2021-09-05 17:01:14 +0000 UTCAshleigh is such a good Reactor that "happy accidents" almost certainly happen Naturally...
James Falato
2021-09-05 17:00:23 +0000 UTCHubben is so damn funny.
Amy Silknitter
2021-09-05 16:53:12 +0000 UTCThat is cool. I have to think she knew what she was doing, But she didn't know she was watching 2 James Cameron films back to back. And weeks ago she surprised herself by watch 2 Tom Hanks back to back. So maybe it was another happy accident.
Mark Sylvester
2021-09-05 16:52:21 +0000 UTCI think it's kinda cool that you're Reacting to "The Titanic" - Part 1 - and "Kill Bill Vol 1" in the same week... And I'm assuming next week you'll be Reacting to "The Titanic" - Part 2 - and "Kill Bill Vol 2"... 2 2-Parters in 2 weeks... Yes! and Yes!!
James Falato
2021-09-05 16:48:59 +0000 UTCPlease promise us Ashleigh to never ever do that on camera!
Mark Sylvester
2021-09-05 16:47:56 +0000 UTCI did that for Pulp Fiction! VERY disorienting. Then when I realized what was happening felt very stupid.
Mark Sylvester
2021-09-05 16:46:37 +0000 UTCSneaky sneaky, also - can’t wait for Friday!
