"Titanic -- By the visionary director of Avatar"

Finding Nemo. The joke will work when you’re older.

I had to explain what Voltron was to one of the other grad students, the other day.

That is so weird- I’m not quite 24 and I was the last person in my whole school (at least, from 4th graders up, maybe the little kids didn’t watch it but the big kids sure did!) to see Titanic because my parents made me wait until it was on VHS and we could borrow it from our cousins for free. Glossy books about Leo (and non-fiction about the Titanic) were all over the book orders for months after Titanic came out. And this was at a tiny conservative Christian school.

There are a few clarifications we need here.

You started talking aobut “animated features” but then you switch over to “movies”.

Also, does pixar count as “animated features” ? Because you say Little Mermaid and Disney Animation, that sends me down Beuaty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Mulan and Hercules path. Not so much the Woody, Buzz, Tow Mater, Wall-E, and Doug [Squirrel!] path.

Tangled was the 50th theatrical animated feature produced by Walt Disney Animation (or its predecessors). Does not include Pixar, Toon Studios or any of the straight to video stuff.

You can see the list here.

Once Disney really got into live action in the '50s the production of animated features really slowed down, from at least annual to one every few years on average (only 3 in the '60s). Since the success of The Little Mermaid, they been back on an at least annual (and sometimes twice a year) schedule.

As my friend Joe said, "She puts the “Tit” in “Titanic!”

Wanna have your peers look at you like they’re going to smack you? Next time you you want to mention something from 15 years ago, refer to it as “…back in the 1900’s…”.

That, and act. Bill Paxton mentioned this on the commentary for Aliens. He said that since acting was basically the only job Cameron couldn’t also do himself (like lighting, props, F/X etc.) the actors are the only ones on set that have any kind of advantage over him (check out his lackluster scene in Albert Brooks’ The Muse).

Also *Titanic *& *Avatar *are the only two of his films were a nuclear bomb/explosion isn’t a major plot point (though I’ll bet early drafts of *Avatar *may have featured one…)

We have a brochure at work refer to a church renovation as having taken place “at the turn of the century”. I think pretty much everyone visiting the office has to read that a couple of times before getting that they mean the year 2000.

I’d like to see “Titanic-The Sequel”-Rose(asa 99 year old hag) channels Jack Dawson-Jack decides he’d rather not. A catfight ensues.

Titanic II

I’d rather see this one.
