I can't believe it's been 20 years since Titanic. The James Cameron version, that is. I was soooo obsessed with this movie, omg. I saw it some obscene # of times in the theater... like 18 or 19 I think? (it helped that it was playing for 8 months... that doesn't happen with movies anymore!) And I had this log I kept of the date, time, and place where I saw each one, and whom I saw it with -- most of the time I was alone, but anyone I knew who wanted to go see it, I would go with. Then when I got the dvd I recorded those viewings, too. Unfortunately, this log is on a floppy disk and I can't access it anymore. It's no longer accurate, either, because I've watched the dvd since then. I think I printed out an early version, but damned if I know where I put it! I'm a paper hoarder; I have boxes and bins full of stuff like that.

I remember how excited I was when a friend presented me with the script. I suppose he found it on the internet somewhere, but that was all brand new to me back then -- I DO know where that is, because I put it in a nice binder :) It almost makes me want to reactivate my Facebook just long enough to thank him for that and see if he's like "wtf?" or if he remembers. ....almost, but naaaahhhhh.

The sad thing is, when I read about how it's returning to theatres... and to one fairly close to me... I feel like I don't even want to go see it. That I can just watch the dvd if I want to (and I haven't even watched it in years). I wish I was that same girl of 20 years ago. Even at the time, I was "too old" for such obsession and everyone thought I would outgrow that behavior... HA! Little did they know. Fangirl for life!

I think I saw it three times in the theater, too - the ONLY film I've ever been able to do that for!

I say reactivate your Facebook, and just talk to ME, if necessary! :D

Nothing wrong with being passionate about stuff! :-)

Wow, really? The only one? That's a high honor, then!

LOL but whyyyyyyyyy when I can talk to you here :P Facebook is evil! Even if I messaged my old friend, it would go off topic quickly. He'd start telling me about his perfect life -- which is one reason I left FB, not just his but everyone's -- and ask me how many kids I have or something.

Glad you approve :D

Me either! Oh and I forgot to mention I grabbed my Titanic mug this morning which I haven't used for many a moon because it had gotten shoved to the back of my overflowing cupboard... THEN I read about it. Neato!

The Force works in mysterious ways. It wanted you to find that mug.

It does indeed!

Two weeks 'til The Last Jedi!!!! I know, technically less than that, but I always go the first Saturday morning :)

I don't see movies opening weekend. I prefer to see them after all the crowds are gone.

Me too... except when I'm worried about getting spoiled, like with SW!

Yeah, people do tend to spoil things almost immediately after films like that release.
