This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy, and with it will come James Cameron's 3D version of his Oscar-winning flick documenting the doomed voyage. Last month he screened the revamped film, which contains one altered scene. The change came after Neil deGrasse Tyson informed him that the astral pattern was inaccurate for the night the ship sank in 1912. The scene comes when Kate Winslet’s character, Rose, is floating on a piece of wood and staring at the sky. Cameron told Culture magazine:
Neil deGrasse Tyson Spotted Inaccuracy In James Cameron's Titanic
Weak Protest Over New $19.50 Movie Tickets
Last week a media analyst blamed theaters for the price hikes that boost some 3-D movie tickets just shy of $20, but they protest it’s not their fault. An AMC spokesman said moviegoers should blame James Cameron, and other deep-pocketed purveyors of new technology. "It is inevitable some of those costs will eventually appear at the box office," he said. Another expert used the “come on, it’s not that bad,” justification: "In New York, especially Manhattan, $20 for a couple of hours entertainment is relatively inexpensive," an NPD Group rep told the News. Be that as it may some cinema enthusiasts threatened they might not stand for it. "I probably wouldn't spend that much," said one, "The way the economy is right now, it's far too expensive."
Gas is Dangerous
"You didn't know that gas explodes?" asked prosecutor Diana Florence.Feingold claims he was just trying to harm himself, not anyone else. He could face up to seven years for charges of "depraved indifference to human life." Gothamist isn't sure what the judge should sentence, but if "depraved stupidity" were a count, we'd weigh in.
"No, I didn't," Feingold answered. "I thought that gasoline did, but I didn't know about gas."
"It never occurred to you that gas explodes?" Florence asked, disbelief rising in her voice.
"No," Feingold said, shrugging.
"You've never seen a Terminator movie where gas explodes?" the prosecutor asked.
"That's only gasoline," Feingold countered. "Not kitchen gas."
