I liked the Titanic...GCJ

I don't hate the movie but i just thought there are more quality movies out there and why this one just stands out. BTW, I wrote the blog before I seen ROTK, now I had seen it I think it can give titanic some challenge

They were commenting about that on Fox News. saying that they think it will make more than Titanic. It probably will. I haven't seen LOTR yet. Everyone says it good though. I though it may be hard to follow. Is it? GCJ

It depends on the long run. Titanic's earning wasn't that high after it was released, but it maintain its earning momentum for months. The marketing team really did a great job for Titanic, I remember after two months of its release there was a ad on tv saying See the titanic for the first time, Again... If New Line would release ROTK extended version on the big screen after two months of its release I guaranteee it will beat Titanic's earnings... Really love to see the part where Gandaulf kick Saruman's axx I was hoping for that scene since FOTR....

It really does make me sad that Titanic is the top grossing film worldwide, I hope ROTK kicks its ass.

And now a little free association:
Bernard Hill played the captain of the ship in Titanic and played King Theodin in LOTR, so regardless, this fairly unkown actor will likely be in the two top grossing (worlwide) films of all time.

And, having absolutely nothing to do with ROTK, but important because it was the last movie I saw before ROTK:

Kate Winslet was in Titanic, before that she lied about her age to get the part as Marianne in Sense and Sensibility, which was written by Jane Austen but the screenplay was adapted by Emma Thompson, who won an oscar for it and also played Elenore the main role.

In S&S Thompson's character falls in love with Hugh Grant's Edward Ferris and Kate Winslet's character falls in love with first Greg Wise's Mr. Willoughby and then Alan Rickman's Colonel Brandon. Emma Thompson is now married to Greg Wise.

Thompson was also in Love Actually, where she was married to Alan Rickman and sister to Hugh Grant. Whhhoo...

Also in Sensse and Sensibility, Gemma Jones played the mother of Emma and Kate, and then would later play Rene Zellwegger's mother in Bridget Jones where she falls in love with Mark Darcy played by the lucious Colin Firth.

Firth also portaryed a different Darcy in BBC's Pride and Prejudice, which was also written by Jane Austen and was made about the same time as Sense & Sensibility.

What's funny about this is that Colin Firth is also in Love Actually, but because the movie was so freakin complicated, I can't figure out exactly what his relationship to Thompson or Grant or Rickman is.

*This therefore proves my theory that there are only, like, 6 British actors making movies right now and everyone else should bugger off.....or something Victorian like that.

It's all about the long haul. ROTK has nearly doubled the first two weeks of Titanic, but the big boat just kept it coming... and kept it coming. I think once we (ROTK) nabs the GG and AA for Best Picture & Best Director, it will have the legs to do it. If we get ripped off by the Academy... not beyond them to give the award to some LOSER film... ROTK will fall short. Jan. and Feb. will tell...
