# I share this prejudice
Not watched this, or Slumdog Millionaire, or a host of other Oscar-sweeping fillums.

Only watched Titanic at gunpoint, and that caused a Christmas family row that still gives us awkward pauses to this day :o/

# I saw Titanic with my mum
she turned to me and said "why is that middle-aged woman running around with a 12 year-old boy?"

I honestly couldn't give her an answer

[edit] Not seen Slumdog either - the missus watched it the other day but I honestly couldn't be arsed. I hate anything that describes itself as "feelgood"

# Did it?
I thought that it was that the trailer and all the promotion was engineered to make it look 'feelgood', when in fact it's actually relatively gritty, and realistic / depressing...

# Slumdog
was quite good.

# I've heard this...
But I think the Boyle-based hype and the absolute ubiquity of that terrible terrible song for the entirety of 2009 may have perpetually ruined it for me.

I will probably end up watching this one - maybe even liking it - but THE MACHINE has put it at a significant disadvantage.

# did you argue over the fact
that one of Picasso's paintings is in the film, and goes down with the ship

but is actually in the Museum of Modern Art in New York?

# Nail, head, head, nail.
I come from a long line of continuity geeks.
