5. Two options:
Captain Ahab thought it was a white whale

or

Captain Nemo was in the area.










Side note on books. I have thought for a while that the 'deep hidden meaning' of The Great Gatsby was that Gatsby was Whale. Perhaps the Titanic didn't actually sink. Perhaps it was Gatsby going home.

but then that makes it option one as Ahab must have been after Gatsby! Dive Gatsby! Dive!

19. Lack of taut editing
Take Cameron's over-three-hour bloatfest and trim it down to two hours fifteen minutes and you might have something.

22. Not enough nude scenes with Kate Winslet.

Oh, the SHIP, not the MOVIE?

Hubris. "Gawd Himself couldn't sink this ship"
No, but Random Chance and Bad Management were more than up to the task.

I have on my desk right now Document #726 from the 62nd Congress "Directing the Committee on Commerce to investigate the causes leading to the wreck of the White Star Liner 'Titanic'".
All 1163 pages of it.

I got 17/20 on their Titanic "quiz", too.
