Also, 147 years ago this night, Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln died the next morning.

Yeah.... She couldn't move her fat a$$ over on the door? Leo should have stuck a 12-gague in her cake hole and taken it for himself.

Saw something where there was a twitter account that was "live tweeting" the events of that night tonight.

It's sinking right. Of course it has Been. But it's REALLY going in the next ten minutes. In other words, for those less amongst us, jack and rose are on the top of the bow right now.

Anyway. World changing event for sure. Thanks for the Lincoln reference

I'm pleased to announce and admit I've never seen the movie, "Titanic."

My weak heart would not be able to take the sorrow of witnessing Leo's heart break. But nonetheless...my heart will go on.

Me too. I did learn about the Titanic in school though.

You're absolutely right, my man, I've always been fascinated by the Titanic and what her sinking meant on a genuine historical level, and also on a metaphorical level to industry, colonialism, mechanization, and world powers.

I'm actually quite ashamed to admit I lost about five or six tears and had to hold a **** load more in during the movie.

Luckily, I had my cranberry juice with me, on the rocks.

But no ****, I lost a few when the old people kissed each other one last time, and when the band got together for one last round.

And the mommy and the babies: that scene took my ****in' breathe away.

I lost my man card that night.

And redeemed it hours later, Beau Benken style, with sweet nothings and butterfly kisses, I stole her panties and put them on my head while I spun her like a record, "Spin it like a helicopter!"

Ive been a Titanic buff ever since I heard about Bob Ballard rediscovering the wreck in 85. Its quite an amazing human drama, from the creation of the ship to its tragic sinking. I have been on pretty much total Titanic saturation since History, PBS and Discovery started dusting off their old shows and replaying since last week.

Having said that I went to watch Titanic 3D on Saturday which oddly enough the movie ended about the same time Titanic struck the burg 100 years ago. It is quite the visual and auditory treat. James Cameron did a remarkable job with the conversion. The 3D experience gives new breath to the movie which albeit sappy really pushes home the grandeur of the disaster. If you are a fan of Titanic history check it out in 3D before it ends its run.
