In all seriousness (even though I didn't care for the film, but still like DiCaprio and Winslet), I did get choked up as the ship was sinking, and we saw that elderly couple in bed, choosing to go to eternity together, rather than trying to escape, and the mother telling her children to go to sleep.
Let's not forget that Titanic had possibly the most horrid theme song of any movie, which kinda took a lot away for me (what can I say - I really dislike Celine Dion and overly brash sentimentality).
Back on topic, I saw Spidey 3 last night. I wasn't blown away, but I enjoyed it! It was a little crammed; however, I went in with somewhat low expectations due to all the villians, and really, I thought that they tied things together fairly well (although it would have been better if Venom were cut or saved for a future movie).
However, some of my favorite moments in the movie were non-action scenes. Like the Polish landlord and his daughter Ursula (I've always liked her character, and actually find her more intriguing than the movie interpretation of Mary Jane in a lot of ways). I also loved the sequence with Betty Brant, Jonah Jameson, and that bumbling pitchman. And the Bruce Campbell scene, of course. And I was pleasently surprised how intentionally funny many parts of the film were, like Spidey flying in front of the American flag when he redonned his red and blue suit, or even when he goes "bad" for a while and is walking down the street putting on dorky moves and leers while women look at him disdainfully. HAHA!
Actually, it was interesting how Peter's "bad boy" period started off kinda funny, but became increasingly tragic.
Something of a mess, but a very enjoyable mess, which I would rewatch in a hearbeat.
