DK love

So there are rumors going around that “The Dark Knight” could win titanic’s top grossing film of all time if it keeps doing good business and I say I hope it does beat Titanic.

Titanic sucks.

I mean I’m not knocking the whole tragedy thing but what really pisses me off is the whole cheesy romance. I believe everybody over the age of 14 including guys was PMSing that year because everybody fawned over the big budget piece of trite. Lonely women now confess that as teenage girls they would watch it multiple times to see Leonardo Dicaprio’s 10 foot face on the screen. Again, we were all under some sort of spell, (I blame the shrieking of Celine Dion’s voice) that made us all shelve out our dough on celine dion records and titanic special edition video cassette. I remember that time, I really tried to force a tear when leo died, but I couldn’t. It seemed too cheesy for me.

I’m at these boards, and all these DK people are saying “go watch it again! Make it number 1 top gross! Do it for heath!”

Putting Heath into the conversation is going way over the line. If the movie sucked, then yes it would be for Heath, but this is a great film, an almost perfect film and no I wouldn’t watch it again “for heath” but for all the actors in this film including Heath. For Aaron Echkart, who was awesome! For Gary Oldman who was so moving in the last 15 minutes of the film and also for the people in the ferry who were just…..well they made me think.

This is a great ensemble movie and I’ll watch it again, but because it is soooo gooood.
