[QUOTE=Marlitharn]  
Everyone keeps telling me how great _Titanic_ is. I still have no intention of ever watching it; I already know how it ends (the boat sinks) and I get irritated when Hollywood takes an already dramatic and story-ful historical incident and slops a crappy love story all over it. This is what made _Pearl Harbor_ suck.  
[/QUOTE]

I saw part of it but it was total tripe(Titanic) ,I think the thing that sold it was the use of the then new technique of C.G.s

I totally agree with your views about already exciting events and sticking some silly little story line on top of it .(Not always a love story sometimes its a conflict between the main characters or whatever.)
