Should be Team Metamates. Just anagrams all the way down

You've gotta be special if you're working at meta. They all deserve it. Effin metamates

The value of the prop used in the movie notwithstanding, a quick search suggested that a real 56 carat diamond with qualities and rarity similar to the Hope Diamond would be worth close to $600 million, but no such thing actually exists.

So what I meant was: of course Hollywood has to come up with the ultimate jewel “worth more than the Hope Diamond”, to quote the movie.

The Epstein Class is the perfect name for them.

Nah.

You run political polls on groups of people for a reason: To derive rational strategies of rhetorical appeal.

What we, as the left, should be doing, is appealing to Gen Z, rhetorically.

... You wanna solve the toxic masculinity problem?

Point the anger at a better target, and temper it with actual facts, actual logic, actual statistical analysis and explanations of how this shit actually works.

Validate Gen Z's literally correct suspicions that Boomers are insane out of touch narcissists, untill proven otherwise.

The Boomers have demanded they be pandered to and given participation trophies, in the form of subsidies, their entire lives.

We need to focus on 'kick anyone over 65 out of any political position, we need new blood'.

We do not need to focus on 'well actually, Not All Boomers bad.'

... You wanna guess the average age of people literally confirmed to be in the Epstein class?

You need a compelling narrative that motivates people to do things, not a nitpicking discussion panel.

The framing device for the whole movie is that they're searching the wreck to find a priceless necklace, and bring along an old woman, who had it when the ship sank, to help them. She then tells them her story, moves them into abandoning the search, and in the end it's revealed she had it the whole time when she throws it overboard.

The big boat sinks.

You're not alone. I've not seen it, no intention to either

Its actually all just a high concept, softcore porno that takes place in a Model A Ford, just with an unusually developed plot and large production value, that bookends this.

LotR?

Avatar made more money per view due to 3D/IMAX - which wasn't a thing for titanic

And what percentage do you think is represented on Lemmy?

128 million Americans saw it in theatres when it came out apparently (that's just Americans! And just the initial theatre release). But it's been shown on TV, streaming services, etc (and you could pirate it of course) and is accessible in pretty much every country today. There's been surveys with results like "26% of brits haven't seen Titanic", etc, but no real hard data unfortunately. But I'd wager the percentage has to be double digits. Not super high double digits, but definitely double digits.

Multiple times, I'm tired of it.

If you want a recap here's a nice summary of the important bits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saZcHBY5vyI

How so? It was the highest grossing film for 11 years straight, starting in 1997. Only been surpassed by Avatar 1/2 and Avengers Endgame. Pretty well known film.

Exactly the same as me. The film's 30 years old, and I've definitely seen it, but probably not in the last 20 years or more. I just about recognised it was Rose but haven't got a fucking scooby what she does at the end of the film. I thought it ended with her sat on the piece of wood watching Jack sink.

😂 I guess I’m some movie savant that remembers all the frames even though I haven’t seen the movie since 2003

Give it a shot it’s a good film. Considering it was filmed in 1997 the visuals still hold up pretty well and the writing is pretty good, especially by today’s standards.

The bougiest of beat-em ups!
