Titanic was complete horseshit. The only good bit was when the ship finally sank.


This was probably the most memorable scene in the whole film.
(It's what I wanted to do after sitting through 3 hours of that crap)

Jimmy Brings must be spending a f**king fortune on their advertising
It's a full blitz the likes I've rarely seen

Not sure about free-to-air tv (I don't watch it) but their ads seem to be cropping up everywhere online lately
Got an oversized Jimmy Brings fridge magnet in my letterbox this arvo.

I was more referring to the other nominees than in general, and specifically As Good As It Gets and The Full Monty. Good Will Hunting and LA Confidential hold up. I don't really rate Funny Games. Starship Troopers is among my favourite movies, but would never be in Oscar for best pic contention.

Can the song reference heaven

Heaven means your dead and morgues are in hospitals.and dead people go to morgues
LOL
No.
Morgue yes, heaven no, car no (even though people drive cars , have accidents and end up in hospitals), no bananas (even though you could be famished and find yourself on a banana plantation, start eating banana after banana after banana until there is a head high pile of banana skins, pass out and end up in hospital with hyperkalaemia), hyperkalaemia yes.

Never heard of it. Only pop-up I ever get is the one telling me about all the Russian women in the neighbouring suburb that would like to meet me. I really should drop by for a nice hot bowl of borscht one day.

Good Will Hunting was one of those movies which I always watched to the end if I was flicking around the channels and chanced across it
Must've seen it a dozen or more times. Just great scenes, great acting, script, characters and story

And a great soundtrack with songs by Elliott Smith. That's how I first heard of him (same as everyone else, I guess)

PUlp fiction is overrated

Only good thing about that movie was Samuel L Jackson.
You really should vigorously punch yourself around the head and neck for this comment.

For this astute observation you should reward yourself with a box of quality dark chocolates, soft centers are very nice.

Completely agree. I loathe the movie as a whole, but when it finally starts to sink, then it becomes good viewing.
I never realised the director James Cameron is an adventurer who broke the all-time depth record. He took his custom-built submersible down to the bottom of Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench to a depth of 11km :eek:. I watched a short docco about it just the other day.

The Mt Everest references in this pic below are misleading. The Mt Everest base camp is at an altitude of 5,400m and the summit is at 8,848m. So you could actually fit THREE Mt Everests inside the Challenger Deep stacked one on top of the other...

I know a lot of people rave about what a great film it is but I found it pretty dull, I wouldn't have it in my top 100 films let alone my top 10.
No one rates your top ten songs let alone your top ten movies.
