Went home for part of the weekend - we had a birthday party for my sister. When I say "we" - I mean I made it late and didn't get to participate in everything. BUT! I made it in time to watch the TiVo'd "Titanic" with everyone. Seems that "Titanic" was on TNT a few weeks back and someone at home set the TiVo to record it. And oh - I forgot how much fun it is to make fun of that movie! Some highlights -
1. While they edited out some of Jack's more colorful dialogue as well as the F-bomb the long-haired submarine guy drops - but if you are British and faced with an "Iceberg, right ahead!" you're allowed to call people bastards. Really - anything in a British accent is okay because - well, you're British.
2. HOLY CRAP - JACK DRAWS PORN!!! I admit - it was fun jumping in front of the TV in order to shield the young kiddles from the evil pre-Hefner Playboy (admittedly, there was nothing to see since it was edited. But, did you know that they inserted a deleted scene that shows Rose finding out she's pregnant with Jack's baby?)
3. I never realized how hot Billy Zane was. Since Rose wants to go wallow in the pigsty with the rats, I'll jump in and take her spot with the rich, insanely attractive, non-Backstreet Boy. Who has a gun.
4. Yes, it's true. There is something inherently WRONG with having table manners and being an upstanding citizen. But running off with some dude you've only known for three days and going to rough parties is completely okay.
5. I want someone to build "Titanic: The Ride." You slide down a wooden deck with chairs falling and bodies screaming all the while you try to climb to the back railing only to go down with the ship anyway.
6. That minister at the end has really good arm strength - while everyone else is jumping and sliding off the ship, he's holding on, holding his composure and holding on to the twenty or so people that are clinging to his wrist for Last Rites.
7. Since Rose failed in her suicide attempt on Titanic, Old Rose gets her chance to jump on the scientist's ship - but only succeeds in dropping that stupid necklace down to the ocean. If I was her, I would have hocked the thing - there's your house on the beach where you can ride horses in the surf all day and spit and be drunk and have a jolly time.
Man, there were other funny things that we joked about - but I can't remember them. Maybe I'll watch it again and blog while I do it. It's the first time I've made my sister's friends laugh, which is worth writing about.
