My Heart Will Go On and On

Guess what 3D movie we saw today? Yep. Titanic! Umm, can I confess that Ryan and I have been pretty excited to see this? We were thinking for weeks about how we could find a way for someone to babysit Eva for 4 hours so that we could go see it. When my mom volunteered to come stay with her for the afternoon we were psyched. I saw Titanic when it first came out 14 years ago. I can still remember the friends that I saw it with. The Celine Dion theme song was everybody's love song for our 8th grade Valentine's dance. Ryan was too young to go see it (it was rated PG-13......).

While anticipating seeing the movie we were trying to figure out exactly what 3D means. We knew it meant better, but how? I'll tell you. It doesn't mean that everything from every shot pops out like it is going to grab you (I don't know why but that's what I imagined it to be). It's more like watching a play or something happening inside of a shadow box instead of a flat screen. Makes sense when you think about the meaning of three dimensional. Every once in a while there are special effects that make it look like you could reach out and touch something. We were the nerds who joked around and tried :) My favorite 3D effect was when it looked like the water was running off the screen.

Look Jack, I'm flying!

Today was a good day to see it since yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the date the Titanic sank. To enhance our movie experience even more we have been recording lots of Titanic history shows that have been on TV.

Rose, hold on to the back of the ship. Take a deep breath right before we hit the water!

If you have fond memories of seeing Titanic the first time, you'll like seeing it again. As a grown up. Spoiler alert: Jack still dies.
