Ive watched so many specials on it also. Every single one of them catch my intrest. I also saw some 3-D thing at the Imax theater where they went into the ship with a camera and went through all the floors of the ship. it was amazing. They showed the old worn out items that were in the ship and then showed the item as it was when it was new and everything. It was am amazing documentary.

So did I! I was completely immersed in it. It's so interesting now that they know what happened to read the account in A Night to Remember, which got things completely wrong regarding "explosions" and such. There weren't explosions, it was the ship breaking apart. I can't imagine that kind of trauma.

I was fascinated with it. I remember reading how a few officers and men balanced atop one of the collapsibles through the night until the Carpathia arrived. Unreal.

She still looks so tiny. She didn't show for the longest time. I haven't seen a picture of her since the wedding.

I'm going out again in a few cuz I heard that they are setting up another big scene. My friend just saw him very close and says he was in the scene or something, but he tends to embellish. I do have the camera. I don't think I'll give up my Leo to Perez tho.

My great uncle Patrick went down with the Titanic. He was on his way back from Ireland. He was in his early 20's.

Well, I never knew him but thank you for being sorry. I think about those poor people from time to time, thinking they were so safe on an unsinkable ship and here they either drowned or froze to death. At least he got to see his family in Ireland one last time. I would love to find out who they are some day.

I was, me who takes tons of pictures suddenly was unable to operate my camera! I am hoping my roomie and I run into them out somewhere or something. Matt is scene about town quite a bit. We'll see.

I just missed them get out of their cars and arrive on set. Dammit! I went outside to get coffee and stopped to see what was going on. A girl said she had just gotten Matt's picture. That b*tch.
