Of course "teenage girls who cant remember what happened at the beginning of
the movie by the time the movie is finally over so they have to see it
repeatedlty" thwumped them all bigtime with Titanic.

The lesson seems to be that you make a movie where everyone already knows
what's going to happen so they dont have to think, mix in some special
effects for the boys, lots of romance for the girlies = instant hit/crap.
