I really can't stand that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, and agree with the reviewer who said, "The story of the Titanic needs a love story like Anne Frank needs a zany best friend."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-5258216555868617482012-03-27T20:42:55.900-04:002012-03-27T20:42:55.900-04:00I was about 8 when my mom and I watched the old bl...I was about 8 when my mom and I watched the old black and white movie based on the book.

(Just finished Ship Ablaze -- the new one about the Slocum disaster, fwiw.) <br /><br />I also think Lord's book was the first one that I read, picked up randomly at the library one day.<br /><br />Anyway, weird co-winky-dinks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
