If they built a Titanic II....

[sdifox]

This being a more cynical time, I could *totally* see a vendor setting up on the bow with a couple of Nooses, a couple baseball bats, and stack of life sized Leonardo DiCaprio dolls.

I mean - If a movie costs $20, then beating the living shit out of LDiC prior to tossing him overboard ought to be worth $100.

that is a very good idea. Remember to charge environmental surcharge for the dummie though.

Better yet, sell ice replica of Jack. No contamination of the sea and it's faithful to the movie.

Hell yeah. What are the chances they'll hit ANOTHER iceberg? Right?

The list doesn't mention Not Ramming Icebergs.

Chances could be 100% D:

Good Point.


How about we make them out of meat, since it's environmentally safe, gives superior "feedback" to our bat~swingers, and because sharks are endangered.

Definitely, the Titanic has always fascinated me, and I'd love to see a reproduction of it.

Sure, why not?

So...in every way but aesthetics/architecture it would be a modern ocean liner. Fuck yeah, I'd sail on it.

It would have to be. Besides, there was nothing particular wrong with the original design. The Olympic, lesser known sister to the Titanic, served with distinction from 1911 to 1935. Loss of life was minor when it's other sister, the HMHS Britannic, struck a sea mine. It had adequate lifeboats.

I went to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic last week. A lot of the victims are buried in Halfiax, Nova Scotia. They had some actual pieces of Titanic there, found floating in the wreckage. Mostly wooden things. Pieces of the grand staircase, a bathroom medicine cabinet, a cutting board from the galley, a deck chair. Most of it in near mint condition. Cool to see. Sort of renewed my interest in the ship.

Only if they got Zap Brannigan to command it.

We shoulda met up. I live maybe 10 minutes from that very cemetery!

I didn't go to the big cemetery but I was staying not far from Mount Olivert. I think that's the name. They buried some there.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Sounds kinda pointless to me... I cant understand the charm and all, but Id rather just have a true "Titanic 2", completely new and modern

Not a replica but they already have and it's 5 times bigger too.

Gah! I thought it was another zany Richard Branson venture...I've been duped!

Scary thing is that the Titanic Movie was number #6 on the list of all time domestic box office grosse adjusted for inflation. The movie was #1 at the box office for 15 weeks. Some weeks it's total actually went up instead of going down. I remember when it came out. It was insane the number of people that went over and over seeing it.

It's a fantasy love story for the female audience. Guys just wanted to watch the last 40 minutes for all the death and destructions (...and maybe the boobies of Kate Winslet.)

Lulz, even the boat knows it's doomed.

Sad Smoke Stack

:awe:

First thing I saw in that picture too.

 

[SZLiao214]

If i was wealthy i would. Some of those higher end rooms looked amazing.

Pft. That's a cruise ship; all it does is carry fat tourists among different islands in the shallow Caribbean.

If we're talking about a follow-up to the Titanic, you want an ocean liner. You want the Queen Mary 2, the finest ship to traverse the true oceans.

Edit: That said, I'm sure Rubycon could set us all straight
