Who saw this program on the box last night? What a load of drivel…………… everybody knows it was alien abduction, God these people are so stupid? /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

I wish I'd been born rich instead of good looking ?
 
Credulous or what?

You don't believe that space alien crap do you? It was the Aquaphibians that sunk the Titanic, that's why Troy Tempest has spent so long hunting them down.

well I reckon there's a script in there somewhere beyond the basic facts: unsinkable ship hits iceberg, sinks. Maybe needs a human interest angle. How about old lady survivor relives memories of when she sailed on Titanic as a beautiful rich girl who fell in love with a boy from the wrong side of the tracks? Maybe the boy drowns? Oh and stick in something about a fabulous diamond.

Do you think I could be onto something? I'm trying to figure out the soundtrack. It might be nice to have C****e D**n singing the big song.

I'm not sure it would sell. Who the hell needs Facts?
if you are going to target the US cinema going market then you need a nice trite US compaptable ending, and as your average US citizen knows b**gger all about history then no one will notice if you rewrite the odd bit.
So we could have Titanic leaving Generic EuroCity -( Note washed out colour contrast settings, pictures of slums, grim conditions, dodgy cockney accents etc etc). How about some human interest on the boat - maybe some parallel plots, love story perhaps, and maybe a couple of criminals smuggling a big diamond. bla bla bla a few hours of plot building. Then - drama, tension, terrorists have disabled the rudder of Titanic and locked the engines full ahead and pointed her into an ice field. Enter our hero 1/2 hour of action packed blockbusting action and then at the last possible minute the iceberg is destroyed by Arnie firing a rocket launcher, just as Steven Segal fixes the rudder!
Ship cruises into new york (note vibrant colour contrast settings, smart clothes, absence of slums and grimness and generally brimming with apple pie and wholsomeness) to a ticker tape welcome. Everyone lives happily ever after.

Now I know I'm on to something here. The script working title is "Formulaic Summer Blockbuster No 3547". And I am going to record the main action theme by setting a midi keyboard to "Gerry Bruckheimer setting no 3 - Gladiator / Pirates of the caribean cross"

I can get the story boards together pretty quick by editing Speed2, Under Siege, Poseidon Adventure and a few other quality movies /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

No. Arnie's a too divisive figure now he's into politics. What about Spiderman weaving a protective web around the ship?

Stop talking bollox...Spiderman my arse. It has to be Superman with a super heated breath melts the iceberg. Much more realistic./forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Yer as daft as the rest of them...

Troy Tempest comes along in Stingray and blasts the Aquaphibian's remote controlled iceberg clean out of the water.

Actually met two of last three surviviors at the opening of the IMAC film in Bradford. OK one had been a baby when the ship went down but the other gave a credible tale of getting into the boats. Fascinating link with history. I looked after a lady with breast cancer who can remember her grandmother having a mastectomy - on the kitchen table at home! Mind bet she didnt get MRSA!
I thought the prog was tosh too tho all the evidence of the damage to the plates does point to an explosion from within rather than a gash from outside....
Perhaps we should ask Mulder and Scully....

I'm sure Mr Smith will reply if I've got this wrong, but I was told that the Aberdeen Press & Journal headline was "Aberdeen man lost at sea", followed by a sub-head that referred to the ship.

I once met a lady that was on the Titanic. Although she was only a baby at the time, she seemed think that she remembered everything in great detail, including the length of the hole in the side of the Titanic.

At the time that I met her, which was about 25 years ago, she was still single

Clearly she will need her clothes painted back on for the American audience.

Did you see that bit about the americans wanting cherubs painted out in the background , Ihad thought that was in the Merchant of Venice.

Bless them, no sutilbty (sic!) over there

Well - it was all going so well until you got to the rudder bit where I really do think you got carried away. Now - if you got Jimi to fix the rudder - parachuted in from a L'Ancasta Bomber there you have a bit of reality and credibility is restored - the ship can still sink as the rudder didn't get fixed properly and we could have a sub plot of no fix no fee running from here

I am surprised non of you have seen the American version of Titanic. fyi I have posted a frame from the closing scene, just after Superman has destroyed the iceberg and as The Titanic sails off for port.

During this version of the film Steven Seagal saved all passengers from death by defeating an elite crack squad of retired Salvation Army activists.
