35 years ago today, the Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballards team. On this day, 35 years ago, on September 1st 1985 at 00:48, the wreck of the RMS Titanic was found! The wreck was finally located, 13.2 miles from the inaccurate position transmitted by Titanic's crew while the ship was...

I get that. It’s an oft repeated criticism of the film. But every Titanic film previously made already did that. I applaud him for taking a different approach. Whether he succeeded or not is obviously a matter of personal opinion. But that $1.8 billion gross worldwide sure seems to imply that he...

For instance I have a friend who got sole screenplay credit for a successful film and not one word of the dialog was his.

Imo, People keep getting hung up on the misconception that a screenplay is all about dialog. It is not.

What? That the Academy made a mistake?;)

I don’t think you are getting my point. A screenplay can have zero dialog. It’s about structure. That’s what I mean by his screenplays are strong.

Again there’s a difference between dialog and screenplay. Cameron’s screenplays are strong while I agree his dialog is sometimes weak.

I don’t believe that’s true in any way shape or form.

You really think Cameron doesn’t value writing?? I think he loves writing as much as he loves directing.

Well there ya go.

I know that scene was in an early trailer but was it really in one of the TV spots too @TravisR ?

Because It was merged with some new conversations.

Why? Do you know him?

12: Number of dives it took for James Cameron and his crew to capture footage of the real Titanic wreckage, using a state-of-the-art camera system his brother Mike developed with Panavision exclusively for the production. 40: Acres of waterfront property south of Playas de Rosarito, Mexico...

I actually own a piece of coal that was on the Titanic.

Yup. https://apnews.com/5fccf0e6464deb289fbad2fe2169f003

And I think it came loose on the first attempt to raise it and sank back to the bottom!

Something we can agree on.;) I saw it there too. Amazing.

Critics Consensus A mostly unqualified triumph for James Cameron, who offers a dizzying blend of spectacular visuals and old-fashioned melodrama. 89% TOMATOMETER Total Count: 191 69% AUDIENCE SCORE User Ratings: 35,797,635!!!

On this day 22 years ago, 10. August 1998 the Big Piece broke the surface and saw the sun's light once more. For the first time in 86 years, Titanic's hull, a small piece of her hull, returned to the surface. Photo source and text by Bill Willard. #Titanic2020 #RMSTitanic #Titanic108...

I Think Gilbert Grape might be his best performance.

Which was prompted by........and round and round we go. :rolleyes:

Not true. After that one “throwaway line” you followed it up on a subsequent post with this: “Cameron's movie was a piece of overrated junk that I wouldn't ever want to sit through again with its awful cliche-ridden fictional story (as bad as if not worse than the junk in the 96 CBS miniseries...

:eek:

Also Robert i’d be fine with you moving all these non relevant posts to an appropriate ‘97 Titanic thread.

Done. And for the record pages back I suggested bringing this discussion to a Titanic ‘97 thread instead of here but that suggestion was discarded.

Ok. Perhaps agenda is the wrong word. Bias is better. He obviously knows his Titanic stuff but his clear dislike of Cameron’s film is apparent. He even admits he is nit picky and comments like “ Long after the sentimental fawning over the film had thankfully faded,” and calling the rereleases...

His comments and tone in that article suggest otherwise. Let’s just agree to disagree on your opinion.

They did. The lookouts were watching them smooch instead of looking for icebergs!! ;)

By the way @Jack P , apologies if my comments sounded harsh or insulting in any way. Not my intent. Obviously we are both huge Titanic buffs and we can agree to disagree. Cheers. :)
