Titanic

Today is the 100th Anniversary of the RMS Titanic sinking. It seemed only logical that I would watch for the first time the Titanic movie. It was a pretty good movie. I kept referring to Jake as Demetri though, I'm not sure why. It's probably just something to do with the actor. For some reason Leonardo DiCarprio just seems like a Demetri to me....So now I have the Titanic theme song stuck in my head. Did you ever realize that there is only one song throughout the entire movie? It works for the movie too. I don't know a lot of movies that could get away with doing that.
Random Facts about the Titanic! though they aren't actually that random because this whole post is about the Titanic....we will just have to pretend it is random...
