One thing's for sure...it would have been a lot more complicated WITHOUT the iceberg. If Jack and Rose get to New York, they have to deal with a lot of reality that would suck. The class issue doesnt go away, discussion of prenuptial, what the hell is he going to do for a living, etc. I give it a week.

The four day romance was an just an affair to remember. Ideal love is what those old couples on Harry met Sally talked about.

Hi Christine:

I looked at some Julie Christie movies last night - Darling and Zhivago (both 1965). What strikes me is that though about the same age as the Titanic romantic leads (24), she had a gravitas they and their contemporaries do not possess. Christie was young, but she was an adult.

Maybe it's just my own perspective but I don't see any Hepburns, Davis's, Colberts or Stanwycks out here. The men have the same problem - with the exception of Richard Dreyfuss, who went from teenager to grandfather in a flash. Like his cohorts, Tom Cruise looks like an aging teenager to me. DiCaprio just looks like an androgynous boy.

Maybe it's just the times or perhaps the food supply, all those preservatives working their wonders in untold ways, retarding aging and adult development. Since we know that drugs can age (Dreyfuss, Slick), could it also be the food chemists have unknowingly brought us synthetic ambrosia?

What? Did you say "please pass the Velveeta"?

S'ok. I won't cry for you. You do seem to be growing younger with each slice you are dealt. Better watch it though, looks like you're starting to break out.

I hope you don't think SF is representative of most of the country. Im talking about most h.s. cultures where football is king and cheerleaders are queens. The most perverse example of this is in the towns of Western Texas. This is exposed in an excellent book, "Friday Night Lights" by HG Bissinger. Pity the poor 14 year old in Odessa who has a talent for dance instead of cracking skulls.
