Kate Winslet( Rose, Titanic) : Jack could have lived
Check out Kate Winslet(Rose) on Jimmy Kimmel's show, confirming what some of us had always believed that :
Leo ( Jack) could have actually fitted on that Titanic door raft - along with her- instead of freezing to death in the icy water.
The comments below the article inspired the pics. Please scroll through them all....and enjoy! π

Kate on Jimmy Kimmel's show 3 days ago
Jack did try to get on, but the door raft toppled, threatening to tip Rose in, some did not risk it.
So, whether he would fit may have been irrelevant
Basically - as a man - he had to die! *sighs*
(On the other hand, you have to question if that door would still have floated with two of them on top. Space is not the only issue.)
Pix 2 shows ways in which they both could have shared that door raft ππ
Some think It doesn't matter that he would have fitted. That door would not have had enough buoyancy to stay up with both of them on it.
Pix 3- Wait! Was James Cameron in the water too? πππ
Speaking to the Guardian’s Hadley Freeman (on the question of why Jack had to die) in 2012, Director James Cameron also cited another reason for Jack’s fate: dramatic expediency.
"Wait a minute,” he said, “I’m going to call up William Shakespeare and ask why Romeo and Juliet had to die.”
Err, James, ....
Why did Romeo and Juliet have to die? ( pix 2)
Because Romeo killed Tybalt ( pix 1 ) and was banished from Verona so Juliet faked her own death to be with him but the message didn't make it to Romeo who then killed himself out of grief after which Juliet woke up and found Romeo dead and then killed herself out of grief as well.
Why did Jack have to die?
Some door( raft! ) πππ
Check out the spin in this explanation of why Jack had to die in the movie, Titanic ππ
No, he has to die! - as Zizek explains:
"Is Cameron's Titanic really about the catastrophe of the ship hitting the ice-berg? One should be attentive to the precise moment of the catastrophe: it takes place when the two young lovers (Leonardo di Caprio and Kate Winslett), immediately after consummating their amorous link in the sexual act, return to the ship's deck. This, however, is not all: if this were all, then the catastrophe would have been simply the punishment of Fate for the double transgression (illegitimate sexual act; crossing the class divisions).
What is more crucial is that, on the deck, Kate passionately says to her lover that, when the ship will reach New York the next morning, she will leave with him, preferring poor life with her true love to the false corrupted life among the rich; at THIS moment the ship hits the ice-berg, in order to PREVENT what would undoubtedly have been the TRUE catastrophe, namely the couple's life in New York - one can safely guess that soon, the misery of everyday life would destroy their love.
The catastrophe thus occurs in order to safe their love, in order to sustain the illusion that, if it were not to happen, they would have lived "happily forever after"...
But even this is not all; a further clue is provided by the final moments of di Caprio. He is freezing in the cold water, dying, while Winslet is safely floating on a large piece of wood; aware that she is losing him, she cries: "I'll never let you go!", and, while saying this, she pushes him away with her hands - why?
Beneath the story of a love couple, Titanic tells another story, the story of a spoiled high-society girl in an identity-crisis: she is confused, doesn't know what to do with herself, and, much more than her love partner, di Caprio is a kind of "vanishing mediator" whose function is to restore her sense of identity and purpose in life, her self-image (quite literally, also: he draws her image); once his job is done, he can disappear.
This is why his last words, before he disappears in freezing North Atlantic, are not the words of a departing lover's, but, rather, the last message of a preacher, telling her how to lead her life, to be honest and faithful to herself, etc.
What this means is that Cameron's superficial Hollywood-Marxism (his all too obvious privileging of the lower classes and caricatural depiction of the cruel egotism and opportunism of the rich) should not deceive us: beneath this sympathy for the poor, there is another narrative, the profoundly reactionary myth, first fully deployed by Kipling's Captain Courageous, of a young rich person in crisis who gets his (or her) vitality restored by a brief intimate contact with the full-blooded life of the poor. What lurks behind the compassion for the poor is their vampiric exploitation."
Titanic survival by gender ...
Women
Total: 434
Died: 110
Survived: 324
% Survived: 75%
Men
Total: 1680
Died: 1357
Survived: 323
% Survived: 19%
So obviously a gender based policy in operation - for some reason they felt men were less worthy of life than women. Hundred years on, nothing new on that! π
Interesting that in the days before Feminism it was a case of "Women and Children first!" into the lifeboats.
Today it would probably be a case of "Every person for themselves!"
Equality is a good thing.
Chivalry.Is.Dead!!πππ
Pix 1 ( Jack in first class) and Pix 2 ( Rose in belly of the ship, 3rd class) won't have happened in real life!:
The whole story was bunk. The ship was heavily segregated and Jack would probably not have even been allowed on deck. He and Rose would never have met. The snobbery of the Yank toffs would never have allowed them to mix. He would never have been invited to dine. Complete bunk from beginning to end
One of the comments : "I travelled on the Empress of Canada in May 1970 and it was too flaming cold to stand on the prow of the ship in a filmy outfit. As for sneaking into first class, you'd have had to kill several stewards who were employed to keep us, the riff-raff, out of the rarified atmosphere of upper class. And we would have been kicked off the makeshift raft very speedily regardless of any hot relationship with an upper class twat! ππ"
Given their exposure to gallons of freezing water even before they went overboard ( remember when Rose had to go back to save a handcuffed Jack? ) , they both should have died.
In reality Rose would not have lasted very long before dying of hypothermia also. She had been drenched in freezing water and then lay exposed to the wind on that door. The combination of wet and wind is deadly
It wouldnt have ended happily ever after anyway, Rose would've gotten knocked up ( pix 1 ) and Jack would've gotten on the drink, before losing his labouring job. One day he'd have said he's going out to get milk and never would've come back ( he'd have ended up with his bevy of never-ending bimbos π pix 2 ) . Rose would've ended up a street walker ( pix 4) and her children ended up at a orphanage ( pix 3 ).
The Romeo/ Juliet real life analogy-
There is a very good reason why Leo's character had to die or for that matter Romeo too. Because if they didn't then the couple would have to actually live together. Divorce would follow in a couple of years, after which Juliet would declare that she never really loved him; Romeo would confess that the sex stopped after 9 months and it had become tedium quite a bit before that; and that all Juliet ever wanted to do was sit on the couch and watch the jesters, while spending him money on her sisters and her mother, to him she had become indistinguishable from a sofa ornament.
Another comment : "It was a stupid movie. OK I was prepared to forgive, for reasons of dramatic license, them managing to get access to one another at all, or running through the engine rooms or accessing the cargo hold and having sex in a car... but really. The stupidest part of all, was Rose throwing the priceless jewel into the sea. π‘Absolutely ridiculous.
And not an ounce of remorse as Rose the elder throws the broach into the Atlantic, heartless old cow π
I hate that movieπ
One guesses that "Rose" lived her whole life like that - using men to get ahead, and disposing of them like a female preying mantis ππ³
Apt response: it's a movie, you don't have to ruin it by trying to make it some sort of technically perfect reality. Laugh, cry, applaud or walk the hell out and let everyone else enjoy having their imaginations taken for a stroll
Movies are magic, let go and enjoy them to the fullest. A lot of people went to a lot of trouble to make you cry (or laugh), so you better respect that
Sit all the way up front so no one can see, and cry your eyes out! ( or laugh yourself to stupor - as the case may be)
There's a bit with tits that's quite good, other than that it's rubbish ππ
Titanic 2 : Jack is Back!
Whatever you do, make sure you watch this fan-produced trailer of the sequel ( that never was! ) Absolutely brilliant! πππ
ππ
Person A- All he had to do was stand up and get out of the pool!
Person B- Time to shoot and release a 'Titanic: Alternate Ending' for the 20th anniversary.
Person C - What happened to the cameraman?
Person D- He got a posthumous Oscarππππ
DiCaprio had to die. He was awful in the Titanic! π
But in death, he was reborn as a fantastic actor.π
It was a MOVIE, folks. ππ
They fished Leonardo DiCaprio out of the water, paid him handsomely for his work, and — as of last report — he's still alive, some 104 years later.ππ
Then a bear raped him. ππ ( The Revenant)
For art. π
Why bother saving him when he was only going to end up getting raped by a bear?
Because he will get an Oscar for it.π
Violet Constance Jessop (2 October 1887 – 5 May 1971) was an ocean liner stewardess and nurse who achieved fame by surviving the disastrous sinkings of both the RMS Titanic and her sister ship, the HMHS Britannic, in 1912 and 1916 respectively. In addition, she had been on board the RMS Olympic, their other sister ship, when it collided with the protected cruiser HMS Hawke in 1911.
As you can see, she died at the ripe old age of 83
Water death? Not todayyy!!! π
Not the sort of person you'd want to get in a boat with then!!! ππ

The Meek Mill-Drake beef continues

This is where it gets really interesting!!
That meant that Meek either heard Drake’s song a while ago ( likely) or he magically put his verse together in a few minutes, mastered it, and released it in a 20 minutes span- while at a B/ball game with Nicki Minaj!! ( impossible)
2. Meek probably know’s all of Drake's ghostwriters.
( He definitely knew Quentin Miller)
3. He probably just paid whoever wrote 'Summer 16' for Drake more than Drake paid the guy to write the verse… Money Talks!!
4. The general consensus was that Meek Mill won this Round hands down!! Drake's credibility is on the line here. Nicki Minaj's boyfriend is literally back from the dead ( back from Rapper's graveyard )
The Meek Mill-Drake beef
continues
Origin- Meek
accuses Drake of being inauthentic, of using a Ghost writer ( Quentin Miller)
late last year
Drake responded with a diss song - Back to Back
Meek's response was weak
Drake responded with a diss song - Back to Back
Meek's response was weak
Social media felt that Drake had literally ended
Meek's Rap career back then
Drake's 'Summer Sixteen' dropped at 7 pm yesterday ( it was a diss song directed at Meek,
Kanye West....even Obama) link
Meek Mill's 'War pain' dropped at 7:20 pm ( 20 mins later!! ) link
This is where it gets really interesting!!
Meek references multiple lines from Summer
Sixteen.
Eg Drake said "...“I used to wanna be
on Rocafella then I turned into Jay”
Meek's responded in his song thus "And you claimin' you HOV now? Why you state that shit?"

Inference- Drake might really be a fraud!
How is it possible that Meek Mill mocks lines in a song Drake dropped 20 mins earlier?
1. It appears that the dude Drake uses Ghostwriters for real

Unlike Drake, Meek genuinely did start from the
bottom. (Stop playin' nigga, we came from nothin'- was the last line in War
Pain)
I mean, how can you hate on a dude that came from this (see video)
to one of the biggest stars in the game (Nicki Minaj)
