Tre story.My first wife said she wanted to see this movie.I told her there was no point, we all know how it ends.She looked at me like ‟sure you do”....I then told her the boat sinks thinking I was being funny.

She got mad at me for spoiling the end of the movie - She‘s not my current wife.

A mate of mine went on a tinder date once, during small talk she mentioned her favorite film is Titanic.

So in the interests of making converstion, my mate comments on the actual historic event of the Titanic sinking.

She says ‟Do not be silly, the Titanic never sank”

He says ‟Uh, what?”

She says ‟Well obviously it did not really sink, it was just a movie”

A second date did not happen.

Thanks for spoiling the ending. I haven't seen it yet.

It'd need to be a great-grandparent for the joke to work in 2022.

For such a succesful movie it's strange they never made a sequel.

Leo DiCaprio has asked to be digitally removed from Titanic because it’s now 25 years old.

I went on a date with a guy who said 90% of science is bullshit. He followed it up with saying moon landing was impossible. At the same time he claimed he was an engineer.

I think that this joke in general is "impossible". The Titanic movie came out in 1997. Assuming that it would make sense for a person to be on the Titanic, at an age where it would make sense to warn people about the sinking, but also possible for them to watch the movie is improbable to say the least. The Titanic sank in 1912, and if we assume that the subject of the joke was at least 12 at the time, that would mean that they would be at least 97 just to watch the premier of the movie. So yeah, impossible.

My favorite:

Tina Fey hosting the Oscars: "Gravity: the movie that proves George Clooney would rather fly off into space and die than spend another minute with a woman his age".

I had a date once that after we saw the Martian with Matt Damon she asked if it was based on a true story. I would say that there wasn't another date after that but honestly the sex was good enough to put up with crazy for a while. But that's a whole another story.

In my case it was a great-grandmother (passed away in the 80's) who in 1912 had tea with a friend that was leaving for the States and died a few days later. She could still relate that story when she couldn't remember your name.

It did, but it's not as spectacular as it sounds. It was 16 feet long and sprang a leak when an old repair came apart. I like to imagine someone was playing "My Heart Will Go On" badly on a $3 slide whistle.

It’s a weak joke anyway - great story though. I had a great aunt with dementia. We were playing the game with a fuzzy tennis ball and Velcro mitts in a park. After two throws I always had to tell her how to play again. Really weirded out 7 year old me.

What wasn’t revealed was that when the Titanic was found 3km down,2 letters were missing on the side of the ship revealing an M and a P……….. It was the Olympic……. Titanic’s sister ship.

Went to see Wonder Woman with my ex and was legitimately asked if it was based on a true story and who won the war.. least one of the reasons they’re an ex

I love that Adam & Jamie actually tested it super thoroughly on Mythbusters. (Turns out it would be impossible to keep the door afloat with 2 people on it, unless they used their life vests to support the door)

My mother had to explain to my brother and I that Rufio in Peter Pan, didn't actually die and was just an actor who was, and I quote, "probably enjoying a burger at McDonald's as we speak." Don't know why but that part always stuck with me.

Watched water world with an ex. When they finally found the last tinny bit of land I said, wow look it’s the top of Mt Everest. They said I was stupid, Mt Everest is in the Himalayas…

They still are real lmao, I went to high school with some kids and that's what their family does for a living. And they're the richest families in the area. They also make really cringy tiktoks.

they had movie theaters on the Titanic???

sorryibitmytongue t1_iugcy1l wrote

But the joke doesn’t actually say he was on the titanic. It works cos that’s what you assume it means at first, but after the reveal he was watching the film there’s no reason to think he was ever on the ship. I just assumed it meant he had learned about the historical event and went to the cinema to warn people.

Titanic is my favorite movie.

Anything that goes down for three hours straight is bound to be great.

I would’ve just corrected her, not knowing something can happen to anyone. If she gracefully accepts the new information, what’s wrong then? There are far bigger red flags in people than not knowing if the Titanic was real or not.

I was in a queue at the video store when the film came out on DVD (back in the day!) and some brainless woman wanted to rent it. She asked the clerk if it was any good and he said "the special effects are great, the sinking of the ship is really well done, very realistic", and she replied "Well, you've just bloody ruined it for me now!"

I really wouldn't call them "still real".

There's lots of posers, but land is sectioned up so much that actual cowboys (aka, shepards for cows) who guide cows across large vistas fatting them up while leading them to the destination to sell, are kind of non-existant now.

Also, people have a tendency to conflate actual cowboys with sphegetti western cowboys, which were faker than Sasquatch in a Polaroid shop.

If you've seen Once upon a time in Hollywood, there are some pricelessly hilarious moments of interaction with a ten-year-old girl. You can feel Leo working to stay in character without cracking up. Quentin Tarantino is a great writer-director.
