I broke down and watched it!

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 1999)

I once had a dream. A vision, if you will. I had the idea that when I died at age 92, on my tombstone would be the words "LAST WOMAN ON EARTH TO NEVER SEE TITANIC." I thought I could do it. But, just as the Unsinkable Ship took a swift nosedive to the ocean floor, I too, hit an iceberg, and in a moment of weakness, watched The Epic. I was the out-spoken, Titanic-bashing zealot who claimed "it couldn't possibly be that good! It's all effects!" Well, my attitude hasn't changed much. Now, with my melted resolve, I ask, what was all the hype about? The "I'm king of the world!" was just too much. I suppose knowing Leo was going to turn Human Popsicle sort of ruined the moment, too. The effects were impressive, but I just didn't feel involved. Yes, Leo's a looker, and I assume men say the same of Kate, but I was looking for something more.
