Please don't spoil things by posting Happy New Year prematurely.
Thank you!

(23,720 posts)Seriously though, I can't imagine someone being offended because someone wished Happy New Year prematurely and ruined it for someone a couple of hours behind.
Besides, I'll probably be sleeping by midnight. Soooooooo... Happy New Year!

(13,871 posts)Why haven't they made a sequel? I want to know what happened to all those people floating in the water.
I also want somebody to push that old lady over the side for throwing that necklace away.

(12,655 posts)i only saw it once, but what bothered me was this old woman was telling this story about her "true love", but clearly she had gotten married and had kids and grandkids. but when she died, she was reunited with leon dicaprio, her "true love" who had died in the water. so what about her husbamd, was he just chopped liver to be discarded?
no one ever addressed that, this guy she may have spent decades with before he (presumably) passed. he didn't matter?
i know...i overanalyze everything and can't just enjoy...its a weakness

(61,634 posts)I was also very aggravated by the poor planning that led to so many people dying. I was angry about the lack of life boats and other safety measures. So instead of being caught up in the romance, I was annoyed through most of the movie. I'm like that - poor organization irritates me.

(12,655 posts)and all the people in steerage....how awful
i barely got through it once. i would not see it again, although i know some who saw it multiple times
SCantiGOP
(13,871 posts)They realized there weren't enough lifeboats but that didn't concern them since the ship was "unsinkable."
Kind of like BushCheney didn't think about the long term implications of invading Iraq since the war would be over in "a matter of months."

(14,691 posts)"unsinkable?" I guess they figured it was safe enough. Human error strikes again.

It is all good.
On edit, the most important thing,
Happy New Year all!

(50,566 posts)I'd be watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve on the West Coast, banging on my little pots and pans and maybe twirling a noisemaker or two, and then the ball would start to drop and the countdown began and as the excitement mounted, suddenly they would flash this message across the screen:

(101,321 posts)about whether their computers were still working after midnight! We could have had a really great wave of internet silence, sweeping across the globe, as time zones went into 2000, so that everyone else had that sense of anticipation, like a proper surprise party, about what might happen.
But no, Pacific Islanders had to go and spoil it by communicating with people still in 1999. Apocalypse poopers.
