Titanic

[John Syron - Thomas Cooley Las School]

Recent previews of Jim Cameron's "Titanic" sound favorable. Maybe pushing
back the release to Christmas was the right idea after all. I don't think
this is going to be another "Waterworld", despite the immense cost of the
project.

What got me thinking about it was listening to the Broadway cast recording
of "Titanic" yesterday. Have any of you heard it? Most of the numbers
weren't memorable, but the choral pieces like "In Every Age" are still
running through my mind. While home sick with a cold yesterday, also
listened to the movie version of "Evita" again on the computer's CD-ROM. I
still think it deserved better at the hands of the critics.

Don't tell me...the ship didn't sink, and now they're calling it The
Titanic: The Love Boat!

How long would it take the Titantic to sink with Tarkovsky directing?

Hypothetically of course. :)
Long enough for anything to develop, surely long enough for help to
arrive, probably long enough so that the Titantic would still be a
hazard to North Atlantic shipping today; plus we wouldn't have any
"Raising the Titantic."
