ha ha! Yes, the fantastic acting.."Jack..Jack..come back Jack..." then she grabs the whistle "peeep peeep peeep" as the building collapses. I never understood why James "I`m King of the world" Cameron would go through all that trouble to re-create the Titanic, to even be meticulous about the color of the paint in the hallways, then blow it all on two idiots who couldn`t act themselves out of a paper bag, but then I notice he does that in most of his movies. He just makes the acting horrible, like Mary Elizabeth Mastriantonio (however you spell her name) in The Abyss. What was that all about? "Oh Bud you are back..I am Mrs. Brigman" Aiiie! CRINGE!!
Exactly! In "Titanic", Cameron got the details down to the paint colors on the ship, the beautiful costumes and furniture, even re-creating the first-class china, etc. Then he casts that idiot diCaprio in the lead, with his wrong era/modern-day speech. Kate Winslet was OK, but not much better than Leo... What a shame, it could've been a classic film.
BTW, my husband and I visited Fairview Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia a few years ago, about a year after "Titanic" was released (we planned to go there anyway, regardless of the movie). In this cemetery, there's a headstone for a "Jack Dawson".
I'm not kidding - there were HORDES of weeping teenage girls standing over this grave, and the grave was covered with TONS of flowers left by even more teenage girls. Unreal... they actually believed (?) that below the headstone lay the dead body of Leo diCaprio/"Jack Dawson". LOL
That is so true--the actress was awful in the Terminator as well. He got it right with Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in Aliens though..thank God there was no romance in that one; except maybe between Carter Burke and an alien thing.
