I think there were about 1600 other souls on that ship who met a watery grave and didn't get to participate in the cucking of Caledon Hockley (bet you didn't remember that was that character's name...because I sure didn't) that might disagree with you.

Yes, and at least one named Jack could have been saved if not for....

#1. Jack was a willing participant in the cucking of Caledon.

#2. I distinctly remember Jack Dawson pursuing Rose, and not the other way around, for the majority of the movie...but it's been awhile since I've seen it, and I may be proven wrong.

#3. So maybe blame Jack's peen, for sliding off that barn door and into the bottomless abyss. Would Jack's ego ever have allowed him to switch off with Rose anyways? I doubt it.

#4. Jack was a shitty artist. I'm also a shitty artist, so I can say that out loud without getting into any trouble.

1. So if anyone engaged finds someone who is a "willing participant", that alleviates the guilt and blame for cheating?

2. Who cares that he "pursued" her. SHE was the one engaged to a man she obviously never loved or even liked - just for his money and security. So painting Jack as the one here at fault is ridiculous.

3. Doesn't matter if he would have accepted it, she never even attempted to offer, showing yet again Rose only cared for Rose. "I saw people starving on the street, but I knew they would have too much pride in accepting charity, so I ate everything myself" lol

4. Jack was a shitty artist? According to who? You by your own admission are apparently the last person who could spot talent. And even if that was true, Rose was dishonest and pretended otherwise, yet another slight on her character.

I'm gonna bow out now. Wasn't expecting serious responses to my completely un-serious statements about a mostly un-serious movie (despite it's harrowing general topic).

I understand, and again I agree.
Someone brought up the movie and one of the fictional characters, I made personal observations about said fictional character, and a few people sounded offended.

Don't let pathetic members get you down, some of us will continue starting and enjoying humorous threads. That ain't going to change.

I used this in a different thread, but the 'current girlfriend' could basically represent any thread...
