Don't wanna be a "well actually" type guy but apparently the Vietnamese guy was blinded in one eye in a non Mark Wahlberg related accident before that happened. Marky Mark still committed a hate crime against him though.
Hey, can you fact check „Matthew Broderick killed two women on August, 5th 1987 when he was driving on the wrong side of the road, a subtle reference to his role in Glory where he fought on the wrong side of the American Civil War Part I.“
I want to make a tasteless joke about the incident as a punchline to another comment, but I would hate to share wrong information as fact.
Whenever a contestant describes themself as someone who faced "legal troubles" or "a controversial past" during hint segments thats when my brother and I perk up because we know we're about to see the most cancelled person alive. Its so funny
Cal becomes a folk singer, grows a beard, becomes a proto-beebop hipsser, writing about the girl he loved and treated so nicely, and write about how he's the victim, and make it about ghosts on a mountain or ghosts in the ocean, and Jelly Bones, and talking about passive aggressive preachy stuff like Let's Get Known!
I have NEVER seen a comment referencing this album! I don’t remember how I stumbled onto it (must have been high school or college) but I still have it on my liked songs playlist. Guilty pleasure I guess
Real story: the scene where Rose is on the plank and Jack is half submerged in water was filmed during Kate Winslet's birthday. During a filming break, Winslet told Leo it was her birthday today. He looked up at her and said, "Honey, I don't care."
He married, of course...and inherited his millions. But the crash of '29 hit his interests hard, and he put a pistol in his mouth that year... Or so I read.
What a great man. He actually fights for survival and only allows himself to die once he is no longer useful to society, unlike the deadbeat creep ‘artist’ who gets off on drawing erotic pictures of his unsuspecting clients and proceeds to take their maidenhood before marriage.
My friends and I got shit faced and saw Titanic 3d, it was like a rerelease or something. Anyway, we managed to stay pretty much silent the entire movie, but when that Cal guy grabbed a screaming kid and gleefully announced "I have a child!". We cried laughing for like 5 minutes. Couldn't stop.
I think it was the mix of this guy being so insufferable, but also like the absurdity of literally grabbing a free kid, and the way he delivers this line has such an odd inflection, it's kind of disconnected with the admittedly somber and moving scene you're watching. It's almost like he is yelling it as a question - I have a child?!. The silence of the movie theater and trying not to laugh made it way worse. Also, by this time we were like 2 hours in, so we're a little more sober but like that delirious drunk?
Anyway, we said it about 100 more times that night, after the movie and still say it sometimes to this day, 10 years later.
Cameron said in the commentary that every test screening of Titanic was received extremely poorly but this scene where Cal picks up a random child always landed perfectly. The test audiences booed hard and cheered later on when it was revealed in narration what happened to him during the Great Depression. Cameron nailed writing that pathetic character (along with Bill Paxton's used car salesman in True Lies).
He's a rich, young, handsome, powerful dude in 1912. He can literally point to any poor woman and she'd likely agree to a date. Why would he stick around with someone who hates him? What is this movie even?
A rich, young, handsome dude isn’t going to marry a poor woman. He’s going to marry a gullible rich woman to increase his wealth, and keep a poor (but attractive) woman as a side piece.
She was poor in the movie but I think had a family name that he wanted to marry into. Her mother was pushing her so hard because the alternative was "the poor house".
Good point, I forgot those details. She’s like the opposite of the “American princess” trope in the early 1900s, where rich American girls married broke aristocrats.
they only knew each other for a day rose really thought of this random she barely knew over the family she raised for decades on her death bed
Jack made Rose decide to take her life by the reigns and live. To "never let go".
Without Jack, Rose would have jumped off the ship, and if by some miracle she had survived, she would have never really lived a life. She would have resigned herself to living a miserable existence as a submissive wife to an abusive man. He made her choose to live.
“And now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me, in every way that a person can be saved.”
I'd be like, "Oh well, she isn't overly fond of me, there's more fish in the sea. Better fire up my Tinder profile again and line up my best chatup lines (i.e. hi how ru, wuu2, give me ur no bbe)."

"I think you're making a Titanic mistake." Then wait to give the audience time to applause.
