Honest Trailer: Titanic



Titanic now qualifies as an "old" movie, but that fact that it's celebrating its 25th anniversary by making another run in theaters, that's enough reason for Screen Junkies to make an Honest Trailer. There are spoilers in this one, namely, the boat sinks. That was my excuse for not seeing Titanic in 1997; I already knew the ending. But I got around to it a few years later on TV, and found it was a fictional love story set in a real historical tragedy.  This Honest Trailer serves as a refresher, in which we see how much of Jack's dialogue consisted of "come on!" and now we kinda wish they've given him a real Wisconsin accent. When you least expect it, there's one added sound effect that made me spit out my coffee. You've been warned. We also get a coda that shows you can link any two movies you want if you try hard enough.

Hey, I'm from Wisconsin, and we don't have an accent!  Why do you think the best broadcasters come from the Midwest?  It's all the rest of you who have those weird nasal 'a's, dropped 'r's, drawls, and what-not.
