This was incredibly charming, and this old married lady wishes you and your young man a million more years of weird fun.

Tyler Foster

Dead Calm is awesome.

Paul Johnson

I don't know how she'd react to Una O'Connor's screeching though! :)

Eric Janssen

No, but I can imagine George C. Scott as a German investigator, pursuing suspicions that a saboteur might have planted a bomb on board, with an entire shipload of suspicious whodunit suspects. Probably because I already have it on disk.

Matt Blanchette

It got made back in 1975 -- and, amazingly, they used a shot from it in something Ashleigh's already seen: "Raiders of the Lost Ark". :-P

Brett Delbridge

When is the Hindenburg movie coming out!? Can you imagine a love story on a blimp that exploded!!?

Matt Blanchette

Ashleigh would LOVE that version of "The Invisible Man". :-D Claude Rains's giggling!

Kenton Kruger

I have zero problems with disaster movies and such, my issue with this one was it wasn't a disaster movie so much as a basic love story using a real disaster as a backdrop. That aspect made me feel it was disrespectful.

Paul Johnson

Reminds me of my dad....whenever I said "go ahead" to him he would say "Who are you calling goat head?" :)

Paul Johnson

I thought it was OK...I just didn't go crazy for it like so many people did when it came out

Eric Janssen

It came in at the end of the 90's craze for Disaster movies, at the point the genre usually starts doing historical disasters, to "legitimize" themselves: Back in the 70's, Earthquake/Poseidon disaster movies gave way to 1976's "The Hindenburg", which is actually a pretty darn good overlooked 70's picture. As for Michael Bay trying to remake Titanic into Pearl Harbor, though, yes, that was unforgivable, but not necessarily for THAT reason.

Kenton Kruger

Been saying for a while now The Longest Yard would be a great pick for more Burt Reynolds.

Paul Johnson

Gloria Stuart who played Old Rose played the love interest of Claude Rains in 1933's "The Invisible Man"...she was 87 at the time of the film's release but did live to the age of 100

Paul Johnson

When we're talking "Maritime set movies with Billy Zane as the bad guy" I prefer "Dead Calm"

Let me preface this by saying I've got a lot of negative feelings about this movie. Personally, I hate it. I hated it without even seeing it because I hate the very premise of making a movie about a historical disaster that has such a negative conclusion. It's the same reason I've never seen Pearl Harbor either. Why would anyone watch a movie that anyone with a history book knows will end in absolute tragedy? Anyway, after everyone in the media fell all over themselves telling everyone to watch Titanic, I decided this would be one of my hills that I'd be willing to die on, and refused to ever watch it. It's unfortunate that it's taking up two weeks worth of episodes, but I'll meet you all for the other movies. ✌️

Eric Janssen

James Cameron seemed determined to have someone--preferably someone old, white, male and rich--to BLAME for the Titanic going down. (Oh, did we mention, girls can go up en pointe?) So determined, in fact, it backfires, and we're ready to believe it WAS simply an accident of poor ship structure, overloading and North Atlantic icebergs...Unless we want to believe that it really was all Jack & Rose's fault, for distracting the night watch.

Eric Janssen

I remember when we couldn't even remember the NAME of baddie Billy Zane's character--Whenever we talked about the movie, we just referred to "Snidely Whiplash". (Er, that's a cartoon reference, Ash.)

Stevilicious

This is one way of getting me to sit through Titanic again 🤣🤣🤣

Christopher

Please check out another James Cameron movie that’s a companion piece to Titanic called “Ghosts of the Abyss”. It was Cameron’s trip back to see the Titanic.

Reba Pieczynski

You two make such a great 'team'! Love the review and already looking forward to next week.

Kate Cassidy

Hubben is right - Catch Me If You Can is fantastic! That would be a really fun watch.

Ashli Mays

Omg!!!!!!!!! You two are so funny together 😂😂😂😂😂

Bill Bevins

My dad used to say it meant your head was shaped like a melon with the face of a collie.

Bill Bevins

That's my birthday, too. Turned 65 this year.

Mandy Sherratt

The 14th April is my birthday, I loved this 1st part of your reaction, looking forward to part 2. And I'm really excited for your Kill Bill reaction. 😁👍

Leigh Nathaniel Silver

Melancoly means Depression

Michael Sailor

Gotta be honest, I hated this movie. 45 minutes in, I started glancing at my watch. An hour and a half in, I was falling asleep, and would have if my girlfriend hadn't kept shaking me awake. I still give you and hubby some love, though. :)

Michael Waldrep

You should see Kill Bill Vol 2 after Vol 1, because it explains Kill Bill Vol 1.

James Falato

Does this mean my assumption that next week will be 2 2-Parters between "The Titanic" and "Kill Bill Vol 2"?!?

Ashleigh Burton

😂😂😂

Ashleigh Burton

this was DEFINITELY another Happy Accident 😂😂

Michelle Denny

I think “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” should be on your list to watch!

Keith Boyd

The reason why they don't like Kathy Bates character is that she didn't work for the money. In real life Molly Brown's husband became super rich from digging for gold in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

Bill Bevins

Football season is starting next week. How about a football movie? The Longest Yard would be good. Burt Reynolds version. Other good ones are North Dallas Forty, Remember the Titan, and Friday Night Lights.

Bill Bevins

A Geraldo reference in two movies in a row. Never thought that would happen. Dolphins do follow ships. We've gone out whalewatching and dolphins liked to "surf" in the wake of the ship. Melancholy means sad, not head shaped like a melon with a face of a collie. Talking about the one-legged prostitute, her name was Eileen. Looking forward to part 2.

William

your hair is similar to Rose's, you should curl it and do it like hers and surprise him

Richard Meyer

There was an elderly gentleman in my neighborhood, who saw the Titanic being built in Belfast when he was a child. When news of the sinking arrived at the shipyards, the entire community mourned the loss of a ship they built.

Rebecca Monk

I literally just screamed when she said Kill Bill is on Friday... yes!!! Loving the Titanic reaction so far... I hate to admit that I remember the double vhs edition...lol. And we are ALL Kathy Bates right along with you. No question.

Tara M. Wilcoxon

Oo, can’t wait for you to watch “Kill Bill”!

James Falato

Ashleigh is such a good Reactor that "happy accidents" almost certainly happen Naturally...

Amy Silknitter

Hubben is so damn funny.

Mark Sylvester

That is cool. I have to think she knew what she was doing, But she didn't know she was watching 2 James Cameron films back to back. And weeks ago she surprised herself by watch 2 Tom Hanks back to back. So maybe it was another happy accident.

James Falato

I think it's kinda cool that you're Reacting to "The Titanic" - Part 1 - and "Kill Bill Vol 1" in the same week... And I'm assuming next week you'll be Reacting to "The Titanic" - Part 2 - and "Kill Bill Vol 2"... 2 2-Parters in 2 weeks... Yes! and Yes!!
