To be dead for 90 some-odd years and then wake up in the future, WOW!
At first I thought it was someone's idea of a joke, but then I realized it's a real movie. What a concept! It reminds me of H.G. Wells and of a fantasy I used to have as a girl. I imagined that Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy from Little Women came back to be my friends, and that I was explaining modern life to them.

Oh, my! :huh: I don't know whether to be happy about this, or whether I should say, "How in the hell could they?!"

This could be interesting to watch, but in a way, I feel they should have left it alone. :sleep:

[Beanka]

This is something i must see.WHen is it coming out Because all it says is Summer.

[dvdjunkie]

This is not a real movie, folks.......................if you watch closely you will see edited parts from about 10-12 Leonardo DiCaprio movies and some other clips. They have scenes from "The Abyss", "Gangs of New York", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "The Aviator", "Con-Air", and many, many more. It is all a big joke.

I have to hand it to the guy who made the trailer, because it really looks convincing. I bought into it like everyone else, until I realized that there is no cast credit, or production credit and all it says is coming "Summer".

Just watch it again, and see how many different movies you can name that they have ripped scenes from.........and then laugh til you cry, that you bought into this.

;D ;D ;D ;D

Ya got me, pal! I was going back and forth about whether this preview was a joke. There were some parts that could have come from a Saturday Night Live skit. For example, when Jack is in the audience at "Titanic, the Musical." The movie scenes looked so real, though, and they used music from the real Titanic movie, so I thought it must be legit.


I have not seen enough Leonardo diCaprio movies to recognize the clips.

Good one, Bill!

[Larry's 66 Diner]

Oh my gosh! What's funny about the whole deal is that I thought I recognized a line from Austin Powers during the "thawing" process. Upon thinking that, I remembered thinking, "What the Hell? Is this going to be a comedy movie now?" ;D That should have queued me in right there! :drunk: :sleep:

So initially, I thought it was a hoax, but then got converted to believing it! :drunk: :toilet:

[Beanka]

OH well it would have been a good movie.

[Midge]

Beanka, you're right. The concept is an interesting one, but I think it would work best if played as a comedy.

Midge suggested:

I think it would work best if played as a comedy.

The original would have as well.

[Midge]

Absolutely. If they tried to take the story seriously, people would laugh anyway, so might as well make it a comedy.

With all this discussion of "Titanic 2", Cynthia and Erica and I got into a pretty long discussion about the actual ship and the disaster. They asked me several questions of what had happened that fateful night in 1912. Then Cynthia asked if we could watch the version of Titanic from 1997.

So the three of us sat up until 3:30 this morning watching the ever-popular version, which was Cynthia's second time to see this movie, she said; however, it was Erica's first time watching it. :thumbsup: I also made a point of separating the factual parts of the movie from the fictional storyline of Jack and Rose.

[Midge]

That was a very good thing for you to do, Larry. I am encouraged that young people nowadays have curious minds and an interest in history. If a film like Titanic can spark that interest, then despite its historic inaccuracies it has accomplished something positive besides just entertainment.

There are some well produced documentaries out there on the Titantic, some of them include interviews of survivors telling of their actuallived experiences.

[Larry's 66 Diner]

I have also told Erica and Cynthia about Ghosts of the Abyss — the documentary produced by James Cameron (which I'm yet to see myself, although I have the book which accompanies it).

I also told them about A Night to Remember, which I have, but they don't particularly care to see it since it's in black & white! ;D (I'm still amazed that they've watched a few silent movies with me! :drunk: )

[dvdjunkie]

In case you didn't know Larry, there is movie from 1980 called Raise The Titanic starring Jason Robards, Richard Jordan, Alec Guinness and Anne Archer, along with a star-studded supporting cast. The one real stand-out falsehood is they find the Titanic, but is all in one piece. Other than that it is a pretty good movie.

;D

[Hedvig]

I saw this some time ago, but it's good to refreshen the memory. Thanks, Bill. ;D

No way could they get away with something like that. Or could they?

When I was 11 my friends and I made our own version of Titanic. We used a giant blue beanie bag for the sea.

[Larry's 66 Diner]

Thanks, Bill! If I did know that, I guess I forgot about it. It does kind of "ring a bell" though — the title, that is.


With a cast like that, I guess it has to be at least above average, right?! ;D
