What Up, my Sensitive Nuclear Technologies? This week in the Deep Hurting Project is the closest thing to a horror film in the Drama category of my DHP Tubi watchlist: an Asylum movie called Titanic II.
- So that's what Chris Hansen's been up to in all this time he hasn't been doing livestreams! Learning how to fly a chopper!
- I wonder if Cunard paid to have their name put in this movie.
- And what the shit kind of lawyer-friendly version of "All Along the Watchtower" this even is.
- You think that if her father had this sort of inside knowledge, he'd have pressed the issue further with her. Especially since this is apparently a ship that was rushed to make its maiden voyage on the anniversary of the original Titanic's voyage. A voyage where she never made it to New York.
- The Titanic II is the fastest ship? You are aware that the original ship was never actually built to be the fastest ship, right? That was just a myth created so Hearst could find a way to blame J. Bruce Ismay.
- Wow. What a strange coincidence; everything that happened when the original titanic sank is happening on the anniversary. Whatevs. It's not like the sea is populated with superstitious sailors and they're actively trying to repeat as much as possible of the most famous maritime disaster in history.
- Also, why are they wearing such little protection on an Arctic iceberg?
- Somehow, they have zero interest in protecting their ship from a tsunami?
- Two people ran into the same stanchion post right next to each other. This has to be the most orderly chaotic run I've seen in some time.
- They never expected a hit from the side, even though they took so much pain to avoid repeating the same mistakes as the original and the iceberg hit that sunk the original involved JUST SCRAPING THE SIDE OF THE ICEBERG.
- Also, a majority of the lifeboats are unseaworthy, even though regulations passed in the wake of the original iceberg was that ships needed enough lifeboats to hold all passengers.
- Women only?
- You know, the strange thing is this may be the first Titanic movie I've seen in a long time that didn't (consciously or through osmosis from previous films) lift plot points directly from the Nazi Titanic film.
