EVERYONE claims to hate "Titanic". Then why was it the top-grossing movie of all time?....

I guess you just can't be a sophisticated cineaste these days unless you very quickly proclaim that you hated "Titanic" if anyone brings it up in even the most oblique manner and even if no one asked for your opinion. But better still, to claim your credentials, say you weren't able to sit through the entire movie. Best yet, claim you never saw it in a theater, but were somehow "forced" to see parts of it much later on video. And of course if you're male, claim your girlfriend dragged you to see it completely against your will. And to REALLY solidify your status as a discerning film enthusiast, lament the fact that "L.A. Confidential" (Does anyone still remember that one?) didn't win the Best Picture Oscar instead.

Hahaha. It's so laughably predictable. Not that I'm the biggest fan of Titanic (I DO like it though), but I find today's fashionable and seemingly universal backlash against the movie almost as humorous as its original hyper-popularity.
