<p>Off for a last frantic day of D being home for T-day, including going to her old junior ballet company’s “Nutcracker,” but a quick opinion on “Titanic”: it’s two movies. The more interesting one, imo, runs from the beginning until the ship hits the iceberg; after that, it becomes a very mundane action-adventure flick. The ending frame with Rose is manipulative and sappy…but I liked it anyway.
Hmm…I guess this makes me a manipulatable sap.</p>
<p>Frazzled, I’ve not seen any of those. I actively avoided diC ever since “The Man in the Iron Mask,” though I’ve heard of the Gilbert Grape movie, at least. I live in a bubble where many movies never make it beyond the outer layers of my consciousness and if it weren’t for the parodies in MAD Magazine I would be completely at sea.</p>
