James Cameron, Scientists Recreate ‘Titanic’ Scene to See if Jack Could Survive

Just like Rose, James Cameron can’t let go. After decades of debate about whether his “Titanic” heroine actually could have enabled Jack to survive in the Oscar-winning blockbuster, the director has finally settled the score.

For the staunch believers who are convinced Rose could have spared some room on the floating door for her maritime fling, their hearts might sink when they learn the truth.

In the preview for his upcoming celebration of the film with National Geographic, dubbed “Titanic: 25 years Later With James Cameron,” the “Avatar” filmmaker heads a science experiment to determine if there was really enough room for the lovebirds aboard the floating piece of debris. “We’ll find out once and for all whether Jack could’ve survived the sinking of Titanic,” Cameron says in the teaser for the special, which will debut next week.

All the guys in the theater cheered when Jack became a Popsicle.

I had a stupid liberal female get mad at me when I asked if she knew the ship sinks before she saw the movie. Many eyes rolled.

She made no room for him, and then she let go of his hand.

DiCaprio is one greasy little worm.

Just think of all the hot chicks he's slimed like Jabba the Hutt over his lifetime...

Unpopular take on Free Republic to be sure (but then again, I have many unpopular takes on Free Republic).

"Titanic" remains one of my favorite movies.

If I'm channel-surfing and it comes on, I'll watch it until the conclusion.

I've seen is countless times and it never gets old.

It exemplified old-fashioned Hollywood filmmaking and storytelling and was deserving of every accolade it earned.

What sucks, is, I’ve actually liked several of his previous movies, especially “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood”.

I saw Titanic during its opening weekend. Will never forget the sight of the teenage girls departing the theater all in tears.

Me? I shed a tear also. During the scene where the ship is underway full steam ahead. I'm a history buff and the sight of those magnificent coal fueled boilers was a thing of beauty.

Look, I will make compromises about seeing movies, but not to Sex and the City or Mama Mia. I might have gone to Titanic, but I didn't.

I can't judge, because I never saw it. The 1958 movie about the Titanic I saw in the theater. (But only a few years ago, not in 1958. The 1953 one was also good.

There was a Nazi version of Titanic, they made in 1943, which basically blamed it on “British Capitalism”, and the hero was a German crew member who tried to warn them.
