I had a classmate who was obsessed with the Titanic. Not the movie, just the ship and the story about the sinking (hell, I think it was well before the movie came out). Almost every conversation with him somehow involved the Titanic. And now, whenever I hear about it, I always think of him, yacking away about the stupid ship while nobody else could bring themselves to care.
Never could bring myself to watch the movie, either. Don't think it would go well.
