a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary

Kiersten, newly 21, collegiate, novelist-in-progress, introvert, nerdfighter, grammar geek recovering from nazidom. | Jesus, books, all things British, film scores, words, anything by Tolkien, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Doctor Who, the devil in the details, wittily tearing apart terrible prose, epic (not "epic") poetry, mythology, any films but horror flicks, tea, avoiding conflict, cheese.

Holy freaking moly flamingo.

This is definitely going on the list of movies I never want to see again.

Why did I think it was a good idea to watch a disaster movie about a ship sinking? That was a genuinely terrifying experience.

3llenography:

“Half the people on this boat will die!”

“Not the better half”

WHAT?!

The better half…that doesn’t include you then, yeah? Cal is a dirtbag of cats. And dirt.

The string quartet deserves all the awards.

Seriously. If I cried at movies, I would be sobbing over this scene.

Funny how a crazed (ex-?)fiancé chasing then with a gun is actually infinitely less terrifying than the unsinkable ship inexorably filling up with the Atlantic.

I always win, Jack.

(That’s how I afford all my expensive eyeliner, you know.)

One of the officers is Mr. Fantastic! I feel like he should be using superpowers or science or something to solve the sinking-ship issue.

ROSE JACK JACK ROSE JACK ROSE ROSE JACK

It’s like they’re afraid they’ll forget each other’s name if they don’t say it every other line?

Titanic can’t sink! It’s impossible!

The weight of your hideous moustache alone could sink her.

Rose: When this ship docks, I'm getting off with you.
Jack: (I just met you, and)
Jack: This is crazy.

Rose is a walking fire hazard.

Boiler room in a long dress, long red hair, that fiery personality Jack was complimenting earlier…

Jack and Rose’s romance is like Romeo and Juliet, except nobody’s cousins get murdered.

*Amy Adams impression* “No, it’s been a day!”

Man, Jack just fits into everyone’s suits. Abscond with all the expensively tailored clothes! Except that they really are one size fits all. “You ought to see to your girl. It looks like she bought your dress in a shop.”

A real man makes his own money.

Clearly the creepy fiancé dude is not one of the Brits.

(Well, he looks like he belongs in Ancient Egypt with that eyeliner.)

Regarding hats:

The ladies on the Titanic could give a Kentucky Derby crowd a run for their money. (Pun intended.)
