There was at least one glaring mistake in Titantic. The character Jack
claimed
to be from Lake Wissota. That's a man made lake in Wisconsin that was
created
more than 5 years AFTER the ship sank.

That may glare at people living near the lake, but I rather doubt that
the rest of the world outside Wisconsin notices it.

Most other people in the world don't care about Wisconsin, much less Lake
Wissota.

I'm shocked...SHOCKED....

If anyone has the Director's Edition DVD, watch the "Notes" about the
survival training the screenwriter underwent to give that part authenticity.

It might be of interest to anyone who ever get forced down in hostile
terrain.

Provided one is forced down with a solar-powered DVD player, that is.

Five years playing the latest your favorite group here DVD isn't any better.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

Uhhh...it's just a movie, eh?

It could be worse. You could be stuck on the island with only a
solar-powered DVD player and only two DVDs: _Madame Doubtfire_ and
_Battlefield Earth_.

That's why on any over water flight of any significant length, I always
bring my entire DVD collection along and leave the life vests at home.
Better to drown than die of boredom.
