Titanic (1997) (1 Viewer)

[TravisR]

The only deleted scene that I wish was in the movie is the one where Jack and Rose return from the steerage party and they're singing "Come Josephine". I like having that scene in because it would echo when they're standing on the bow and even more near the end of the movie. Not that I'd be against Cameron doing an extended cut of the movie but other than that one scene, I'm fine with the rest of the stuff remaining outside of the finished film.

"Titanic" is now playing in the IMAX auditorium in the AMC Lincoln Square complex in NYC; it's billed as a "Special 70MM Engagement" in the NY Times advertisements (other local IMAX theaters are showing the film but not in this format). I went last night and was hugely impressed. 70MM IMAX 3D is a very immersive experience. The film is being presented with an intermission, presumably due to the technical limitation of projecting films in IMAX beyond 170 minutes. Music from the film is played during the intermission, just like in the old roadshow days. This "special engagement" hasn't received the attention it deserved, probably due to the fact that the "special engagement" didn't start until 2 weeks after the "TItanic" reissue opened elsewhere (the delayed opening was due to a contractual commitment to screen "Wrath of the Titans" at the Lincoln Square IMAX through mid-April).

Have you guys seen this?...

That's incredible news! They've been talking for years about rebuilding the ship but nothing ever came of it and now it looks like it's actually going to happen! I'll be following this story with great enthusiasm over the next couple of years for sure and you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to sail on it one day.

At what point in the film did they insert the intermission? And was there some sort of Intermission card projected?

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I can take a guess, right after Captain Smith says "Well I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay."
Am I right lol?

Titanic IIs never work. Just ask the Planet Express crew.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I don't get the reference, Will.
I looked it up and can see that it has something to do with Futurama (a show I never watched) but please explain further. This made the news last night and many sites are reporting this so it seems like this is a done deal this time.

 

[WillG]

The Futurama episode in question was a "Titanic in Space" satire where the ship travels too close to a black hole instead of an iceberg due to a horrifically inept Captain.

 

[TravisR]

^ I haven't seen that Futruama episode in forever but I remember it being really funny.
I'd love to tour a Titanic II but I wouldn't feel any need to leave port. Call me superstitious.

 

[WillG]

I'd love to tour a Titanic II but I wouldn't feel any need to leave port. Call me superstitious.

You'd be better off I say. You realize how many dolts who would be doing the "I'm King of the World!" or "I'm flying!" on the front of the ship you'd be trapped with?

I looked it up and can see that it has something to do with Futurama (a show I never watched)

Hammer, I would say give Futurama a look. If you like things that are funny, you shouldn't be disappointed. Also, very often, the show is actually quite intelligent.

Oh I simply have to check that episode out, your description alone made me laugh lol.
I'd sail on TITANIC II in a heartbeat, it'll be outfitted with state of the art GPS, sonar and radar, plus the international ice patrol blows up any stray bergs now and I think it's safe to say they'll make damn sure there are no bergs in TITANIC II's path this time.
My head is spinning with the idea that I may actually get to sail on it one day, I can't even imagine how I'd react seeing it right there before my eyes, I'm sure I'll lose it a little or perhaps a lot. Studying it for so many years I know the physical appearance of the ship like I know my own face and it'll be surreal I'm sure.
Tino, what's your take, will you be sailing on TITANIC II someday?

 

[WillG]

I think it's safe to say they'll make damn sure there are no bergs in TITANIC II's path this time.

As long as enough of the crew are adept at smelling ice, I'd say you're good to go

 

[Paul.S]

I can take a guess, right after Captain Smith says "Well I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay."
Am I right lol?

That's correct--exact same place as the SCE DVD disc switch.
@KPmusmag re "And was there some sort of Intermission card projected?" No there was not.
@Erik_H: Just wanna be doubly sure--your Lincoln Square 70mm screening was an approximately 1.85 aspect ratio, yes?

 

[Tino]

John
As long as I go in steerage. That's where all the fun is.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Hehe, most of the time it was anyway lol.
My friend and I were talking about how they're going to handle the interiors and the accommodations for those, according to Palmer the outside, above the waterline anyway, will be virtually identical but what about the interior spaces? The public areas such as the dining room, palm court restaurant, smoking room and of course the 1st and 2nd class grand staircases will probably be the same but since there are no longer classes on cruise ships will people really pay tons of money to stay in faithfully built steerage cabins that were no larger than a closet?
We'll see I guess but personally speaking they could make me sleep on a deck bench as long as I'm on the damned thing lol.

 

[Erik_H]

Regarding the above question about the 70MM IMAX 3D engagement of "Titanic" at the AMC Lincoln Sq in NYC---there was an intermission card. The break occurred soon after the iceberg collision; probably at about the 95-100 minute mark.

Spectacular Love Story Debuts On Blu-ray Worldwide September 14, 2012
With More Than 2 ½ Hours of New Special Feature Content
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 31, 2012) – The two billion-dollar box office phenomenon and winner of 11 Academy Awards®, TITANIC, makes its highly anticipated debut on Blu-ray 2D and 3D on September 14, 2012 from Paramount Home Media Distribution and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Available in high definition for the first time ever, James Cameron’s timeless and unforgettable tour de force will be presented in stunning 2D and 3D, providing a cinematic in-home experience of TITANIC like never before. Marking 101 years ago today that the RMS Titanic was launched into the Belfast Lough, film fans worldwide can now pre-order the epic love story on Blu-ray 2D or Blu-ray 3D™ with participating online retailers.
James Cameron commented, “Blu-ray extends TITANIC’s immersive 3D theatrical experience into audiences’ homes, where their living room becomes the backdrop for big spectacular environments and intense action, as well as profoundly intimate human moments, allowing generations of fans—new and old—to truly become part of the movie like never before.”
Presented in a four-disc 2D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack with Digital Copy or, for the ultimate experience in fully immersive 3D, in a four-disc Blu-ray 3D and 2D combo pack with Digital Copy, this high-definition presentation of TITANIC is a must have for film fans’ home media collections. Both sets feature more than 2 ½ hours of new bonus footage never-before-released on disc, including a fascinating in-depth exploration of the film with James Cameron, as well as documentary footage produced by National Geographic with James Cameron that brings the world's leading RMS Titanic experts together to solve the lingering mysteries of why and how the “unsinkable" ship sank.
The sets also boast previously released special features including 30 deleted scenes, over 60 behind-the-scenes featurettes, a look at the groundbreaking visual effects, over 2,000 photos, three commentaries and much, much more. TITANIC will also be available in a two-disc DVD set with deleted scenes and, for the first time ever, for digital download.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the roles that would make them global stars, TITANIC tells the story of the epic romance between two star-crossed lovers set against the backdrop of the legendary and ill-fated maiden voyage of the “ship of dreams.”

I think I'll wait for the blu ray.
If you guys are okay with some levity, I came across this on a Star Trek site. Very well done! Especially the Michael Bay parts and the JJ Abrams bits.

That is funny.

What was your first feeling after watching Titanic the movie?
I'm not a very mushy person when it comes to films, so the love story was a part of the story but not of great consequence to me. I felt the ending was quite feel good factor as the old lady (Rose) finally found peace, and returned the diamond necklace to the ocean. It was sort of her parting gift to Jack, who would still be somewhere down there in spirit, if not in body.
