Yes the 100th episode

[@KisstheReviews]

Been singing the chorus to Ape Shit all week...😂

[@tenorcenter]

When Bill Paxton's character said that Captain Smith's experience was working against him, he wasn't saying that he made an odd decision to maintain full speed. He meant that he was a little too sure of himself by not having any major accidents for his whole career prior to Titanic. Maintaining full speed was standard practice in 1912. You only slowed down when you knew you were approaching something or your lookouts made a report to the bridge. This, of course, changed after this disaster.

If you stick with us each episode, you’ll find that the amount of things Armando and I don’t know but still run our mouths about is as myriad as it is depressing. Like PBS, we rely on intelligence donors like you to educate us. 😂 Thanks for commenting! Hope you liked the show.

[@fairone1000]

I'm glad you brought up about the door, that it wouldn't hold Jack, but it really made me mad at her when you pointed out that she killed him by jumping back onto the boat. It is so true! Can you review My Best Friend's Wedding?

[@KisstheReviews]

You and me both! We’d be happy to review My Best Friends Wedding…forever and ever🎶

[@fairone1000]

@Kiss the Reviews One of my favorite scenes in the movie! Thanks!

[@MatthewAndMadeline]

Still my favorite movie ever!

[@KisstheReviews]

We’ll allow it. 😂 My favorite is Casablanca and Armando is a crying bitch anytime you put on Land Before Time...especially right before I put him down for his nap. Thanks for commenting!

It is so fun to see that the guys playing poker with Leonardo DiCaprio (when he wins the ticket) are Swedish. I feel like all people from Scandinavia freak out when we hear someone speak Swedish, Danish or Norwegian in a famous Hollywood movie.

[@KisstheReviews]

You guys are def starting to be represented more in film. Midsommar, obviously, was amazing but I’ve also found a lot of good series on Netflix. The Rain was fantastic!

[@LukeLovesRose]

Still the greatest movie-going experience of my life, especially when it was re-released in IMAX 3D. Jack chooses death. You can see it in his face. Rose at this point is traumatized. Shes out for the count. But Jack knows what's going to happen if he stays in the water. I think we should ask WHY he chose to die

[@KisstheReviews]

Good question. I think it’s Bc they had sex one time and she didn’t give him a second alone after. Stage 5 Clinger. 😂

[@douglasmoravek5256]

It's a me.... Mario! I always thought Billy Zane was a very 1 dimensional bad guy until I saw Avatar, which had a -6 dimensional bad guy.

[@KisstheReviews]

Totally!!

[@SavageKillaBees]

Titanic brings back a lot of memories, it's a masterpiece. No doubt about it

[@KisstheReviews]

Yes it is! Thank you for commenting!!

[@nolanmattson4313]

"everyone came just to see the ship sinking" yea right.

[@KisstheReviews]

I think it was more hyperbolic or an exaggeration. I don’t think he has actually asked literally every person who saw Titanic…but maybe. He’s a grinder.

[@katehis2]

My grandparents as small children traveled with there parents actually on the Titanic and in 1st class what is the problem with having money 💰they met later as survivors during summers in the Hamptons the estate is still in the my family passed down through the generations...

[@KisstheReviews]

No problem with people who have money...so long as they don’t behave like Cal and Ruth. Sounds like they like they lived interesting lives. Thanks for the comment!

[@katehis2]

@@KisstheReviews Yes I would say incredibly interesting lives You see my family from both lines have been in America for many generations There were actually the 1st owners and runners of the Evergreen and oak alley plantations You my better know Evergreen as candyland From the movie Django Unchanged Because Evergreen Plantation is the only Plantation with the original slave quarters both still in the family even though they moved to New York City after 1864 everyone has to understand it was all done under the full protection of the law at that time once you take GOD out of the equation all you have is the law's of man ..

[@KisstheReviews]

So basically your entire genealogy is Forrest Gump? Titanic, Django. Let me guess, someone was in mission control during Apollo 13? They knew about Wakanda and told Claw where to steal the vibranium from?😂 You had me for about 10 sec. well done.

[@yami3960]

If yall ever want more views, you gotta start doing REACTIONS to the movie, not reviews. Reviews are boring tbh and reactions is whats trending on utube.

[@KisstheReviews]

If views were the only goal, we’d react to Eminem songs like the rest of these folks. I’d rather be original with the views I got than just another successful sheep. Sorry you found the show boring.

[@dariustaylor-bennett6589]

Great video once again The Titanic is one of the most iconic movies in my opinion. Btw can you do 1999 The Mummy that one is a good one too 👌🏿

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you very much! The Mummy has been added to the list! Great request!!

[@catspaw3092]

Good point Armando when I first heard Ruth utter to Rose "New Money" when Molly Brown walked by I was like "Oh so a person who just became rich the wealthy still turns their nose up at them? Well fu$k you too." So wealthy people who have been rich for generations still look down on their own rich social class they figured the new rich people will likely lose their money as soon as they get it so "NAAAH!" And I love how Kathy gave Molly a real ball busting attitude when Cal basically tries to control everything Rose does whereas Rose pushes back with her own I can handle myself & I can speak for myself. It's obvious Rose takes after her father while her mom is the opposite the scene between Rose & her mom Ruth when Rose says she hates how her mom is dropping everything on her to marry rich & how unfair it is. Then Ruth replies quietly says "Of course it's unfair we're women" women back in those days didn't have rights they were considered property, seen but not heard, & baby making machines. Which is disgusting & infuriating not to mention that more of the 1st class passengers survived over the middle & 3rd class passengers like they aren't human & don't have rights even the steam workers were treated like shit.

[@KisstheReviews]

100% agree with all of that. One lesson history has taught us is that those in power stay in power by finding ways of dehumanizing everyone that is not exactly like them. New money, blue collar, women and minorities will never be accepted by that crowd. Same reason most NFL owners don’t want a black GM/HC.

[@catspaw3092]

@@KisstheReviews It's like they don't want people of other ethnicities to succeed & be on par with them or surpass them well things are really getting shakin up now just not the way we wanted or hoped. Speaking of that you guys should review the Planet of the Apes movies there you see different species & colors of apes working as a team whereas humans can't even do that. Too damn busy fighting & blaming everything else for all that shit that went down.

[@sebcat_04]

For all this movie gets right about it's history, there is a lot that is exaggerated, if not just pure made up garbage. The biggest example is Bruce Ismay's role in the speed of the ship - long story short, he had nothing to do with it. He didn't put pressure on the crew to speed up. This lie comes from a smear campaign that the American press launched at Ismay, as he had fallen out with William Randolph Hearst a few years earlier. The only "evidence" that he demanded to speed the ship up was a half-remembered conversation from a 1st class passenger, Miss Elizabeth Lines, who overheard Ismay saying "The engines are working very well, we'll beat Olympic and arrive on Tuesday night." This is literally just an observation that the ship was already ahead of schedule and faster than her sister ship Olympic had been in the past. There's also plenty of evidence to suggest that Ismay didn't even want the ship to arrive ahead of schedule, as he would detail in letters he wrote the previous year about Olympic's crossing time. During the sinking, Bruce Ismay worked with the ship's officers to help evacuate as many people as he could from the ship. He was told by 1st officer William Murdoch to leave the ship on the last lifeboat to be lowered from the area in which he was standing, 20 minuets before the ship sank. He was under the impression that most, if not all, of the women and children had left the ship. Furthermore, Ismay was chairman of the company. There was going to be an inquiry, and he had to be alive to answer some important questions. As a man in 1912, you were expected to die with honour and nobility, so naturally the accusations of cowardice came flooding in. Ismay's story is a long and complex one, and he definitely does not disserve the reputation afforded to him by the press, and perpetuated by movies like this, as the slimy coward who caused the ship to sink. I highly suggest you watch Oceanliner Designs' video on the man, it's a thoroughly researched and engagingly explained look at how Ismay's reputation was ruined for saving his own life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4C4aKarptt1ibs

[@KisstheReviews]

Wow! Thanks for the information! I will def check that out!

[@kspainter22]

Great review as always. But I have to know why you didn't like gone with the wind? I am 47 and have seen a crap load of movies and saw it only once about 20 years ago and struggled to finish it

[@KisstheReviews]

I won’t speak for Armando but I refuse to romanticize the South. I think the bs of the good old days is totality and completely irredeemable

[@celinhabr1]

In old times, rich people used to have their names sewed on the inside of the clothes, it was tailored that way.

@@KisstheReviews yep

[@deniseflygirl]

I always thought Cal would’ve been a more interesting character if he was an ordinary looking, nice, boring guy who was loaded. But instead they made him too easy to hate, so it would be easy for the audience to be okay with Rose running off with Jack.

[@KisstheReviews]

That’d be an interesting character change! Who would you cast to play your version of Cal?

[@deniseflygirl]

@@KisstheReviews 🤔 I am sure there are quite a few character actors that IDK who could do the job well. Maybe he could be borderline homely looking like Paul Giamatti. Or maybe more subtle like Michael Stuhlbarg. Someone the audience would understand that Rose wouldn’t want to marry, yet be a sympathetic character. I wish I had a more extensive catalog of character actors in mind to better come up with someone.

[@KisstheReviews]

Those were great!! I’d totally watch that version of Cal. It could have been the first Team Edward vs Team Jacob. 😂

[@deniseflygirl]

Rose & Jack were merely plot devices to see the ship. That’s why Rose stayed on the ship: to give the audience more time to see it & for Rose the Narrator to be on board when it sank. But the fictional part of the story suffered for it.
