Seeking Cultural Truths
Each year the anniversary of the Titanic sinking hits and I'm not quite sure how to commemorate it, at least on my blog. (In real life, I usually wind up watching a slew of Titanic films, leading up to Cameron's on the anniversary!) In the past I've done music videos, fan fiction, and articles. Having...

In years past, I have done something to commemorate Titanic on my blog in the week leading up to the anniversary of the sinking.

What’s it like to love the biggest, most romantic movie of all time?It’s entertaining; mostly because I can’t buy into the bunk, but also because it’s fun to type the characters and talk about my complete inability to relate to some of them.Don’t get me wrong: I love Titanic. It’s in my “top ten favorite... Continue Reading →
