...Here's the thing about Titanic, and the reason 15-year-old girls
love it so much: James Cameron is a 15-year-old girl. All of the
characters are either 15-year-old girls in disguise ("Parents just
don't understand!" "Waaah, make the boat go faster!" "I know we
literally met 20 minutes ago, but I love you with a suicidal
fervor!"), or the kind of goofy caricatures that 15-year-old girls
would write if we let 15-year-old girls write our blockbuster
screenplays. It's She's All That on a Boat, only with Kate Winslet as
Freddie Prinze Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio as that girl who isn't famous
anymore, and also everyone freezes to death in the north Atlantic at
the end.

Titanic is three hours and 14 minutes long, which—fun fact—is longer
than the actual journey of the Titanic. It is sooooo ballsy to just
assume people will watch your movie for three hours and 14 minutes!
Especially when everyone already knows exactly what happens in the end
(spoiler: the boat is Keyser Söze)....
