James Cameron hired George Lucas, JJ Abrams and Micheal Bay to enhance Titanic 3D?

    Well, clearly Jar Jar Binks sunk the ship after errorneously sailing it in the wrong direction due to a massive sun flare that caught his eye. Before he could see it he hit a Decepticon iceberg and the rest is history.


    Oh, and Shia LeBouef must die.

    I believe Leonarda DiCaprio is still alive and well, so I am not sure what you're talking about.

    Okay, Titanic sunk. That much is 'based on real life'.

    Sadly, a great deal of the movie is historically inaccurate. Firstly, Jack and Rose didn't exist. These were completely fictional characters based on someone's imagination. No-one actually claimed that Titanic was unsinkable - granted, White Star Line's internal newspaper/magazine made reference to her being virtually unsinkable, but the myth about her being unsinkable was a by-product that came about subsequent to her sinking. History records that Ismay wasn't a coward and was seen to have actually helped a good number of women and children board the lifeboat he himself boarded, and the subsequent board of enquiry said that had he not done so "he would simply have been yet another name on the causuality list". Besides, the quesiton has been asked many times - what WAS he supposed to do? He wasn't an officer/member of the Titanic's crew, nor was he technically an ordinary passenger. Of course, moviemakers don't like facts that hinder drama and prefer to depict him as he is seen, James Cameron even going so far as to say that "it is what moviegoers expect".
    I hate the movie anyway - it's not really about the Titanic, it's about Jack, Rose, and the situation that THEY put themselves in. You could place Jack and Rose in a burning building and produce the same storyline.

    I could continue, but there are plenty of websites pertaining to the myths surrounding Titanic and the myths surrounding her.

    I think it's quite clearly poking fun at the film and the directors it mentions, not the fact that a cruise liner struck an iceburg and sunk with a large loss of life a hundred years ago.

    It has been 100 years since the Titanic sunk. There are no living survivors, nor are there any persons left that actually remember first hand any of the victims.

    Certainly enough time has passed that some fun can be had, just as other historic events and tragedies are similarly poked at and made fun.

    Exactly. I wasnt even going to respond to it personally. Haters gonna hate. With that said, anything can be funny if done with the right context..such as this vid.

    There are no children of anybody that died on Titanic left either.

    By 2101 I am sure enough time will have passed for people to make light of 9/11.

    Making fun of tragic circumstances has a long tradition for example:

    “McHale’s Navy” made lite of WWII
    “Hogan’s Heroes” made lite of WWII
    “M*A*S*H” made lite of the Korean War
    “1941” made lite of WWII
    “Kelly’s Heroes” made lite of WWII
    “Dirty Dozen” made lite of WWII
    "Time Bandits" made lite of sevral time periods including the Napoleonic Wars and the RMS Titanic.

    If they were dead they did not. As I said there are no living children of anybody that died on Titanic left either.

    Even if there were, after an indefinate passage of time, such things are subject to being sources of humor.

    Once an event has thoroughly imbedded itself into the culture, they become part of our language, part of our cultural shorthand, it influences our stories, and is found in most all aspects of our lives, including film, television, music and yes, even comedy

    Well, I think if anything is an insult to the poor people that dies on or near the real Titanic, it´s the horrible movie that reduces that catastrophe to some teen love drama.

    To loosely quote from the UK TV show Being Human:

    " Titanic? Isn´t that the movie with the sinking ship and Celine Dion wailing like a
    Banshee in the background ?"

    :D

    Didn't those kind of jokes already start? Wasn't there a comedy about a few wannabe terrorists recently?
    Humor is just one way of dealing with such difficult issues

    Of course, this isn't even about ridiculing the Titanic. It's about ridiculing the trend to re-release old movies with new SFX or 3D or whatever t make some extra buck, and the trend of some movie makers these days to focusing too much on their special effects. E.g. Micheal Bay explosions, JJ Abrams lense flares, James Cameron's 3D.

    If you find it distasteful, that's just an added aspect of the humor, actually - consider that Micheal Bay et al glorify combat and war where real people die, but we all go to see it because of the awesome explosions and seeing all the military hardware in action. (I am gonna see Battleship next, probably.)

    Well, back to the OP.... let's play 'guess who's suggestion':

    Okay - considering who is involved, firstly the Titanic simply can't be an Olympic-class ship - too 1900's. It needs to be updated and remodelled to meet the expectations of today's moviegoers.

    And the crew's names don't matter - let's rename the Captain. Captain Explosion! and his First mate can be Commander Explosion! In fact, the ship is crewed by explosions! And the ship should explode, with some chick in a bikini jumping overboard in slow motion, before it sinks! And explodes! Did the Carpathia explode too?

    And there needs to be some comic relief dude. Everyone loves the comic relief character! And the fictional teen, who has nothing to do with what actually occurred on that day, should be a moody, brooding, invidiual who feels that he doesn't get the respect he deserves. Everyone loves that too! And we can always change these things on the subsequent DVD releases if moviegoers don't like them!

    No, that episode was based on a real parallel event. A real radio station actually did drop turkeys like that.

    Les Nessman's coverage of the turkey event is a clear send up of Herbert Morrison's eyewitness radio report for station WLS in Chicago
